Yesterday, on a beautiful and somehow warm morning in Hamilton, ON we finally had our Citizenship Ceremony. Although I had been in other ceremonies before, this was more special and meaningful not only because it was our Ceremony, but also because it was almost intimate (barely 50 new citizens)...

Yesterday I found our Oath invitations in my mailbox! This journey finally comes to an end, and I would like to take a moment just to say thanks to every single person who shared thoughts and concerns in this discussion board, always with the best intentions and willingness to help. In...

My ECAS finally shows "Decision Made"! A surprising update because my test was on March 04, and the status changes somehow during the weekend!

Finally on Feb 19th we received our invites for the test at Hamilton CIC! Our test will take place on March 3! :)

All the best! Looking closely at your timeline, because I'm from Burlington as well!

5 months from IP to Test Invite, and 5 months so far and no news about the Oath Ceremony? It's crazy, Loriboo! Hamilton seems to be very slow, I've been monitoring spreadsheets of applicants in April, May and June last year and none of the applications for Hamilton have moved to test. As I...

Oh wow.....can you share your timeline please? Thanks!

It seems Hamilton CIC Office has been very slow for Citizenship processing during the last months. Does anybody know why? I will call CIC tomorrow to inquire about my case, and confirm if my file was transferred to Hamilton Office. I'm pretty sure it was: I live in Burlington, ON. This is my...

In fact, this is a great day for Canada. Chris Alexander had (while in office) some strong, controversial points of view about multiculturalism, citizenship and immigration. He also supported and pushed the pass of projects like bill C-24. While trying to strengthen Canadian Citizenship, he...

Congratulations everyone! I'm glad to see the entire group moving through the Citizenship process! On a "not so happy" note, the tracker is messed up again. I can't even find my row, and this is happening because some users (blame the lack of tech experience) are applying filters and sorting...

Hello everyone...one more In Process: "We started processing your application on September 8, 2015." For some reason I can not update the tracker. Can someone do it for me please? Thanks! Have a wonderful day!

It makes sense. Thank you guys! Congratulations to all new AOR recipients, "In Process" applicants, and all the best to our test takers!

Hi guys. I just noticed that my ECAS changed: the information about my PR disappeared. The information about my Citizenship application remains the same (Received). Have any of you had the same issue? Thanks in advance.

This is weird. As you might have seen in the tracker, many applications were received by CIC on June 10th...and the applicants have received AOR. If your application is going to be returned, the reason must be other than the one mentioned by the CIC representative. There's one person in the...

Thank you!!!

Congratulations to all AOR recipients! I just found today my ECAS has activated! What's the next step?

Great news: I got AOR for me and my family yesterday around 8 pm! I already updated the tracker, this is exciting! Application sent: June 8th, 2015 Received: June 9th, 2015 AOR: August 5th, 2015 Greetings and good luck to everyone!

Congratulations for the AORs received! This is great news! I was checking the spreadsheet to see the averages and current status, and I noticed a few rows at the bottom...in yellow! No one from our group have receive invitation for the test yet. Is this a mistake? JM

Hi everyone! I just found these forums and have spent already a few hours reading with great interest. I did apply for Citizenship (along with my family) in June 2015, by the time we had met the old residency requirement. Back in early June, I discovered (by accident) that the changes in the...
