Haven't been on the forum for a while now and here is my updated status: We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 9, 2014. We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 9...

Even though it says 8 days on the website, it can be 2-3 weeks on average. Took 3 weeks for my parents who applied recently.

I've read on the forum somewhere that the way the officer sees is, 1K/person/week of visit. I'm assuming approximately the same amount should be shown from both the applicants and the hosts side. And 2 weeks is the typical vacation duration in the west.

I was in a similar situation almost 3 years back. Didn't apply after the rejection and managed without them. As far as I can see there are two things that went wrong. 1. Length of proposed stay. Should not be more than 2 weeks. 2. The hosts income/assets. It is on the low side and since you just...

So whats your local office? Chandigarh?

There's an update on CIC website that the processing time @Delhi is 6 days. It was 8 days earlier.

Congrats! Whether you get the oath invitation letter on your test day will be a surprise. But whether you will actually have the oath ceremony on your test day, if passed, will be mentioned in your test invitation letter. This is what people who had the same experience (all from montreal?) posted

Wow! Seriously?

Thanks for the confirmation :)

I got an AOR along with the study guide in the mail today. In the letter only my spouse's name and client ID are mentioned. However it says the letter is to acknowledge receipt of 2 adult applications. I just wanted to know if this is it or should I expect another AOR for me.

On saturday there were two updates in eCAS for my application. I requested a name change and I can see that now. The received line for my spouse is gone. I never had that line to begin with.

For PR, except the date you applied (Sep 2010 in my case), the rest of your dates are around 1 week off by mine. And now its Citizenship. Well, Good luck to you. :)

I guess theres nothing much to do other than to wait and see. On a side note, telugu?
