    Thanks! I agree - some people don't have the Decision Made status at all. I'm just trying to guess, what type of a decision it could be (a few weeks after the test). It's really frustrating that no additional data / comments are available from CIC after they inform clients that there already is...

    I know there's a dedicated thread called "Decision Made", but I'm looking for Vancouver specific experience, so want to ask the audience here: After a test in mid June, there was a recent status change from In Process to Decision made. Contact center agents were unwilling to provide any...

    Yes! The case is as you described. The # of days submitted by mistake was slightly over the 1095, after the adjustment it's several days short of 1095. I'm just wondering if anyone else was in this situation and what are the usual CIC actions. I do understand that there is a range of options for...

    Hello guys, Quick questions - would really appreciate your experience: What happens if there is an accidental mistake discovered during the interview (after a successful test), which puts an applicant only a few days (2-3) below the physical residency threshold? Anyone had these type of...

    This may be obvious, but, just in case, 2 things that may help to understand the situation with delayed Oath letters: - Make an "Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) request" at CIC website. The request process is super simple. Google the name of the request - open the online system; fill...

    I may be wrong, but I don't think that Canada imposes any regulation related to your current citizenship. To my knowledge, nothing prevents you from keeping dual (multiple) citizenship on the Canadian side. The country of your 1st citizenship may have its own regulations, which may prevent you...

    Thank you! It does help a lot. The only difference between our cases might be that my office is Vancouver. Anyone from Vancouver?

    Does anyone know, how much time it usually takes between the grant of a decision (i.e. when your file is cleared for the Oath) and the scheduling of an Oath ceremony in Vancouver? I can see that, so far, CIC website has information about the ceremonies that will take place until Dec 1st, so I...

    This is very unexpected (at least for me) - is my understanding correct that you already received you Oath invitation via regular mail, but there was no information about this invitation in the "Client Application Status" report of the CIC website? Also, congratulations with the upcoming...

    Google "Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request" and you will see a link to the online request form.

    I read "Discover Canada" several times and then practiced using several websites - most are free, but there are also paid options: "Citizenshipnow" (free, but requires registration via online chat) Richmond Public Library online citizenship test (free and no registration) "Citizenshipsupport"...

    Just had my exam and interview several days ago. The exam is not hard. If you spent some time on various online tests and read the book, you will be fine. The interview was also rather straightforward... Highly recommend ordering the CBSA records and verifying that everything matches: 1)CBSA...

    I just spoke with my colleague who applied 2 - 3 weeks before me. He also received an invitation for a test - same time as mine, at the end of October. The timeline (very similar to my): Receipt - early June Processing started - early Aug Transferred to Vancouver - late Aug Test invite - early...
