Congrats ualiu and claude15!

Most likely they would only issue RQ if they have reason to think that you haven't been in Canada enough to fulfill the physical presence requirement. If you held a job or went to school in the 4 years prior to the application it would greatly support your claim of physical presence. If you did...

If you don't *need* to move or travel right now, don't do it -- you must notify CIC if you move or travel for 2 weeks or more.. also after that C-24 you may raise some concerns about intent to reside if you leave the country for an extended time during your application. Chances are you'll be...

Everything was done together as a group (all 60 people, or however many). Reciting the oath: This was done in French and English. 1-don't worry about memorizing it. 2-Don't worry about not knowing how to say it in a language you can't speak (ie: I don't speak French). 3-The Judge says the oath a...

I have been a Canadian for about 10 days now.. just wanted to post my ecas timeline for anyone who might be looking for info... The ecas status says "Complete... We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 30, 2014. We sent you...

To be honest I never really looked at the stamp, I assume it just says I became a citizen. I have a IMM5292 (CPR/landing document). Also the letter asked us to take all original documents submitted with the application and 2 pieces of photo ID, but they only looked/collected my PR and signed...

In my case the letter said the ceremony was at 9am. I got there 8:40am and waited till the doors opened shortly before 9am. They called everyone by their position (number in the oath letter) to check the documents and then go in to see the officer to: turn in PR and stamp landing document, then...

I am 100% sure the call centre agent can add the information to your file regarding your travel -- when you call ahead. I am not 100% sure if they can add the information/explanation AFTER your test has been scheduled but I would expect them to be able to do it. To call CIC from outside Canada...

Been there! Took test May 27th and they gave oath letters to a bunch of people who took test in June before I got it -- luckily my oath was only a few weeks after.

You can call them and say that you can't make that date. They will probably ask why and I advise you not to lie. Having said that, it's at their discretion regarding when to re-schedule the test.. it could be a month later, or several months later. I have heard of people getting RQ for...

Congrats fellow Canadian! and Congrats jeune and Pamma97 future fellow Canadians!

Thanks guys! your turn will come soon :)

That sometimes is a pattern for "oath letter on the way".. but even when there's an entry saying "we sent you a letter on XX date" it still could be a couple of weeks for it to arrive.

Congrats!!! I also became a Citizen today :) Hope all of you waiting will soon join us.

Call CIC and tell them you can't make the oath date and they'll re-schedule it. They will ask why you can't make the ceremony and this may delay your application if your reason isn't good enough (in their own minds). If you had asked I would have advised you to not do anything with your passport...

Unless the officer said there were concerns or needed to review further you're probably fine. I went to college in the US, worked there 10+ years and STILL work there today (from home since I came to Canada), the officer made a lot of questions to me but said she was satisfied in the end and I...

Varies by local office and even then it varies... mine took about 1 month.. while some people on the same local office took about 1-2 weeks.

Congrats!

Some people receive oath letter without the status ever changing from "ïn process", some people get "decision made" and some people get a new line saying they sent a letter -- ecas is not 100% reliable. Your oath ceremony will definitely be within your local office area -- they'll not send you...

Unless the interview officer (after test) wasn't satisfied with your application (you would probably be able to tell if not), then you should expect an oath letter very soon.
