    JAN 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    Hi Indie787, No I didn't have to show the residence calculator. But she did check the dates I had listed as being out of the country, against the stamps in my passports. There was no stamp for some of the dates, since I came in and out of the US several times under the same visa; and that was...

    JAN 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    It may differ by office, but my interviewer went through my application systematically, and asked to see every document that I had photocopied. She did not miss any, and did not ask for any additional documents. So at the least, I would suggest to bring the originals of any documents for the...

    I had my citizenship test and interview this morning in Niagara Falls. I know not many people on the forum go through this office but here's my experience anyway! There were about 15 people there, and we began the test at 8.30am. They talk to you first about how the content of the test is...

    No he didn't say. I do wish ecas would hurry up and change already. Getting tired of logging on each day to see Received! And for whoever asked - the sequence of numbers is just to navigate the automated answer system to speak to an agent.

    JAN 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    Hello fellow Jan applicants! After reading in the Feb thread about someone calling CIC and hearing that their application was In Process even though ecas was only showing Received, I decided to try the same thing! I called the number: 1-888 242-2100, then pressed 4, 1, and 0 (thanks John_Dorry...

    Hi Arvind, From what you have written, it appears that you do not have to repay any fees. The application for the child was not processed because it was incomplete. When you re-send the application for that child, you should be able to attach the same receipt for fees that you attached the...

    December 2011 Applicants - Join here!

    I 'landed' today by crossing the border. For anyone else already living in Canada and planning to land in this way, this is how it worked: We (my husband and I) drove across the Lewiston border to the States. I told the USA border control officer that our reason for crossing was to simply turn...
