Congratulations to everyone who have received the invite to their oath ceremonies and good luck to those waiting for theirs. I recently took the oath of citizenship and have the following question. My name on my citizenship certificate (and all other IDs like driver's license, health card, SIN...

Hi everyone, I recently got my citizenship and would like to apply for a Canadian passport. My name format is first/given name ->middle name->surname but I would like for my new passport not to have my middle name since I don't use it and it's just been added because under the Philippines...

Thanks guys :D

Hi there, Finally after a long wait, I will be taking the oath of citizenship on Friday, October 16. Will I be able to vote on the 19th?

It seems like the Edmonton office has finally ended their drought of citizenship ceremonies. No update on ECAS yet at my end. Wonder how long it will take before I'm called to attend a ceremony.

Hi there, I've been on EI since July 2015 and I've been asked to attend a Claimant Information Session in 2 weeks. Has anyone here ever been asked to attend one? How do I prove that I'm actively lookiing for jobs when most of my search is based on online job postings. Thanks, Nyla

Tunshah, I don't think they'll skip the whole month of September and only conduct ceremonies after the elections. They'll probably update the site soon.

The wait for the oath ceremony seems to be getting longer :( :(

Seems like the Edmonton office has slowed down again. No updates for people who took the test in late July.

Any late July test takers here in Edmonton who got invited to take their oath of citizenship. My test was on July 31 and I haven't heard anything yet except for my status being changed to Decision Made.

Hi Aeb, Yes mine has been updated to Decision Made as well on August 6. I'm hoping we get to take the oath by the end of August.

Thanks Neel09. Hope you get the invitation for the oath soon. I passed my test on July 31 and on August 5 my eCas status was changed to "Decision Made". Hope that means good news is just around the corner. My timeline is: Application received: October 31, 2014 AOR received: January 28, 2015...

I just wrote my test today (July 31) and got a perfect score. AT the end of my interview, the lady told me that she'd like to take a look at my file one more time and will let me know if anything is needed. When I asked if there were any concerns, she said there weren't any at this point. Not...

Hi everyone, I've just received a notice to appear for the citizenship test on July 31st. I was wondering if anyone who has taken the test before would have some tips to share. Also, is there a chance of being RQ'd after the test. I also have an interview on the same day. Other the the...

Thanks for your reply MUFC. Just curious on the basis of your suggestion. Has that been a norm for CIC?

Hi all, I have a question regarding the information on my online profile. Until 2 weeks ago the last line that would appear was: "File transferred to Edmonton local office on Feb 19, 2015. The Edmonton office will contact you." I just checked a few minutes ago and that line is no longer there...

Hi all, Just wanted to see how many people out there have applied for citizenship in 2014 and are from Edmonton. How's the wait going?

So that means it's purely based on one's luck? Not very encouraging.

Hello all, I've submitted my application for citizenship on October 27, 2014 and they received it on October 31st. On January 28, I got the acknowledgement of receipt and the test guide in an email. ECAS says that my application status is "In Process" on February 10, 2015 and it was moved to my...
