Citizenship Exam

[damascene]

My application has been in process since September 2018 and I am a June applicant. Is this Normal?

I mailed the package on June 11th and they have received it on June 13th, 2018. My application is single and I am based in Montreal.

Below are the steps showing in my application so far:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on June 23, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on August 13, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on September 12, 2018.

Seems perfectly fine to me..

yes, it's normal.
If you check other groups, you'll see that the people of 2017 are waiting so far as IP.

Is there any average processing time between processing the application and the invitation for the citizenship exam?

FRIENDS THOSE WHO HAVE COMPLETED 54 YEARS WILL THEY BE CALLED AT THE TIME OF TEST OR THEY ARE DIRECTLY CALLED FOR OATH BECAUSE THEY ARE EXEMPTED FROM WRITING CITIZENSHIP TEST

For people aged 55 or more, they only have to pass the interview.
Typically, they're called with others and wait for younger applicants to pass their exams before the interview takes place.
There's no direct oath calling.

THANK YOU SEYM

DO YOU ANY IDEA WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS ASKED IN THE INTERVIEW TO PERSONS AGED 55 OR MORE

"Hello, how are you? Beautiful sunshine today..Hows life in Canada? What kind of work do you do?" (if working). Etc etc etc..

I think they will basically check your documents and make sure they are the same ones you sent originals of. Since there is no test or language requirement, there's not much else they can do, other than check the documents and make sure eligibility/prohibitions are in order

 

[21685]

Thank you guys for your replies so need to study the book

 

[21685]

Sorry no need to study the book or do any preparation

Sorry no need to study the book or do any preparation

???? No need to study? No one ever said that..
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
