Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds very similar to mine, in terms of questions asked, etc. I'm sorry to hear about you being short on days. I don't know that this is necessarily a barrier to citizenship, and it will be up to the Citizenship Judge to decide. I believe they factor...

Congratulations! How was the interview? Did they give any hint of timelines for oath?

Do we know if Edmonton mails out letters every day of the week, or do they do go out from their mail room in batches? I've observed a number of people (myself included) getting letters anywhere from Friday to Monday, which would suggest they were mailed out on or around Thursdays. Is anyone...

Congratulations!! We have more or less the same timeline, and I took my test the day before you! I guess this possibly means my oath invite is imminent! Did your eCas update yet? When was your oath letter postmarked? Is it at Canada Place or another location? Thanks!

The test letter was mailed the day before I received it, and eCas updated the day after that.

Congratulations! ;D

It seems incredibly difficult to get through. I was getting the "All circuits are busy..." message for a while, and then eventually managed to get the options and make my way to the citizenship one, where it then said due to high call volume, calls cannot be transferred to an agent, and...

Done.

Congratulations! Please let us know when you receive the letter or eCas update! I've never once called CIC but figure I'll wait until mid-May (test was mid-Apr) to inquire about oath, unless it makes sense to call sooner? I don't want to annoy them.

Yeah, the timelines seem to be all over the place these days, without clear rhyme or reason. I wasn't expecting a test date until at least September. The one thing I've learned is that those of us on here are a very small minority of applicants, and in no way represent an average or majority...

No, not yet at least!

My timeline is below...

There are no May 2015 ceremonies scheduled yet for Edmonton... I keep checking! http://www.cic.gc.ca/citcer/search-recherche-eng.aspx

Thanks CK07! My advice is to study! I read Discover Canada front to back a couple of times (it takes a couple of hours), listened to the audiobook version (approximately 3 hours long) several times, and did hundreds of study questions (the iPhone apps are very helpful - you can search them in...

My advice is to pay the same-day expedited fee. It's worth it for the peace of mind alone. No one on this forum can give you any guarantee of what may happen if you try and enter with those documents alone. It all depends on the specific customs agent who interviews you, and whether or not he...

Congrats grape70! Thanks, and hoping to hear good news soon! I think best case scenario, you can expect a LOT of questioning, and possibly being sent to Secondary. It would depend on the particular customs agent you get, what his or her mood is at the time, etc. I may face a similar...

I was greatly surprised to receive notice on March 26th to come and take the Citizenship Test on April 15th! My eCas was updated a couple of days later. There were likely somewhere around fifty people taking the test with me. I passed the test with 20/20. The interview was very brief...

The consent is from the application form: D HISTORY OF ENTRIES TO CANADA Request for authorization By selecting "YES" in the box below, and by signing this form, I hereby give my consent to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to disclose the details of my history of entries into Canada to...

I had included scans of every page of my passport, with the application. I also included a print out of all of travel dates (as I recalled them from memory), and the note saying they were approximate. So apparently the dates I provided were correct with what my CBSA file showed, so they...
