Hello folks,
I had my citizenship test yesterday, everything went super smooth. To begin, the parking is tight, there is only one parking lot behind the building and charges $2.30 per hour for a maximum of 2 hrs. I paid max 2 hrs and luckily I left the building before 2 hrs. There is also only one gender neutral bathroom in another building so you have to exit the main bldg and line up for bathroom if needed. The test itself was very easy, although the questions are similar to online tests the wording is very different. To make the test easier, the answers were just too obvious. By just reading the book once and practicing some online tests couple of times is enough.
My interview: Super fast, the had no concerns on my travel history and did not ask for passport, CoPR or any other documents as they had already verified my identity with my driver license before the test. My travel history though was very short, that is probably why they didn't ask to see my stamps. However I saw people showing stamp by stamp to officers to prove their physical presence. Also, bring your landing paper (CoPR) to your interview as many were asked to handle their CoPRs.
My oath will be at the end of April. They have asked the government for 8 oath ceremonies for April to clear the majority of October applicants. They are now scheduling ceremonies for the end of March to finish all September applicants. The lady who interviewed me, who is also a senior official, assured me my oath along with many Oct applicants will be before the end of April.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting for test invite, please update my tracker:
Test date: March 12 (20/20)
Decision Made: March 13
