Hi Alicezy,

I did try that, a lady from Peter Goldrings office tried contacting them for me; and not even the MP's office can talk to the Edmonton office directly. Go figure..........

Mike, the easiest way to approach CIC is to visit a ceremony and ask the CIC officers directly. They are very nice and helpful.

Are you sure? There is totally no common sense for Edmonton's process timing. Are there any specials for their cases?
Yes I'm sure, their case is just normal the guy even changed his address 6 times during that time.

Anyone got an invitation for oath-taking ceremony on May?

anyone? ???

I called CIC yesterday and asked if a decision has been made regarding my application and the answer I got is "Positive result" which i think is a vague.

I was greatly surprised to receive notice on March 26th to come and take the Citizenship Test on April 15th! My eCas was updated a couple of days later.

There were likely somewhere around fifty people taking the test with me. I passed the test with 20/20. The interview was very brief, probably less than five minutes, and the officer said my application was in perfect order and had no concerns. I had many travel dates, but had included a letter saying the dates were approximate, as well as scans from all pages of my passport, with the application. This apparently helped, as the officer didn't even look at my actual passport really. I also brought some original documents with me to show them (e.g. diplomas, tax documents, etc), which they seemed to appreciate, but didn't really require. They said the Oath of Citizenship is usually scheduled within 2-4 months, but specifically mentioned it could be as soon as a month from now, and pointed out a month would be mid-May. They said it all depends on how many applicants are ahead of me. I don't know if they say that to everyone, or if it was specific to my case, and whether or not it's some sort of hint...

There are no updates to eCas yet, and I understand eCas may not update again until after I get the invitation to the Oath of Citizenship, if it even updates again at all.

My timeline is below.

How could an officer not look at the stamps in your passport? Specially as you mentioned the dates are approximate?

I had included scans of every page of my passport, with the application. I also included a print out of all of travel dates (as I recalled them from memory), and the note saying they were approximate. So apparently the dates I provided were correct with what my CBSA file showed, so they weren't too concerned, and didn't see it necessary to look through my actual passport in-person, during the interview. I was a bit shocked, to say the least. ???

I don't think they can run a CBSA report before getting your consent. I may be wrong ..
