Update on my Vancouver application: Passed test on 18th Nov - only minor issue in the interview was passport stamps I had from before I came to Canada that weren't in English so they needed to get them translated (others might want to do this ahead of time to save time - your provincial society...

Just checked eCas and have my 2nd test date scheduled (I had to miss the first due to vacation)... all set for November 18th (Vancouver)! :D For those still waiting on a 2nd test who couldn't make their first, it was exactly two months between the first notice being sent (Aug 27) and the...

I had a test date scheduled for 16th September but I was away on holiday so had to miss it (honestly never crossed my mind that I'd get a test just over 3 months after application). I phoned CIC and they put a note on my file, and told me to write to the CIC office that had invited me to the...

Just got invited to write my citizenship test on 16th September! Unfortunately I'm out of Canada on vacation that day so just phoning to reschedule...

Good to know, thanks.

Have any of you experienced a delay between receipt of AOR and your application being available on eCas? I got my AOR this morning but still nothing on eCas with either my UCI or Application #.

Looking at the tracking sheet you shouldn't expect an AOR for a 10th Jun application yet, but fingers crossed it should be in the next week or two. Hang on in there.

AOR received 6:45am PT this morning... so relieved the application was complete and I didn't have to wait 18 months before I could apply. :D Spreadsheet already updated. Congrats to all of you who have received AOR and good luck to those still waiting!

I just added two new columns at the far right of the tracking sheet to show number of business days. This should give us a better idea of when we should expect our own AORs. Based on number of days only it suggests I'm right in range, but given it was just the weekend, and there will be a ton of...

Congrats! The date you put for AOR, is that when you receive an e-mail or when it comes through the mail?

Unless Y is extremely lucky and CIC processes his application under the old rules, his application will be sent back as incomplete, because his application wasn't complete under the rules in effect at the time of receipt. He'll need to wait until he is eligible under the new rules, apply again...

I just added two new columns to the timeline sheet that I thought would be useful: the forms used so we can easily tell which June applicants are using the old vs new forms, and the number of days physical presence applied with, to see to what extent borderline cases are going non-routine.

As many on this forum suspected, they are in fact asking for SIN # too.

Looking at the April tracking sheet it looks like average is about 26 days. http://goo.gl/MBgq0e

My wife was in a similar situation and it all turned out fine. There is a section on the first page of the application which lets you specify the name you wish to appear on the citizenship certificate: enter your married name here and check to say you will enclose your marriage certificate. In...

Thanks. I added mine in.

Just sent mine today through XPresspost, should be there June 4th. Here we go...!

Thanks for your well wishes, and I hope you're right! (I checked my application what feels like a million times, and had my wife go over it a few times too... all that's left is hope that CIC look over it kindly)

Well we are well into east coast business hours on June 1st, and no change on the CIC website... my application is completed, fees paid, and the application will be on it's way to CIC within the hour, with 1100 days of physical presence. Here's hoping there's no funny business before it's...

I'm in the same boat as you. I hit 1095 days tomorrow, and my application is ready to go. I am leaning towards waiting until June 1st for some buffer, but will be a nerve-racking couple of weeks if I do. I'm on the west coast so if I want it there this week it really has to go tomorrow...
