[sean468]

Anyone with AOR dates Oct 27 to Oct 31, got their background check completed? I have seen a lot of people get their background checks completed in 3 weeks. My tracker has not been updated since Nov 4. Not sure what is causing the delay? Help!

My AOR was Oct 30. Last update in the tracker was Nov 1st. Everything is showing In Progress.

Hi folks, I have a generic question. Me and my wife applied for Canadian citizenship and we have got AOR and waiting on test invite. However my wife's current country passport is going to expire on January.

Considering the timeline of Canadian citizenship might take 4-6 months, we were planning to renew her current passport, so my question is, if she renews her current passport, do we need to let IRCC know about this and will it affect processing time of the citizenship application ?
Please share your thoughts or if anyone has been in a similar situation.

Hi, Can you please let me know if you figure this out.

Here is a test question for you.

If a goose stares at you, are you supposed to stare back, apologize, or run for your life?

Folks, in two hours, it will be midnight where I am and the date will change. That is when I will have access to the portal through which I can take the citizenship test. I don't want to wait until the morning. I plan to take the test as soon as midnight strikes. I will be back right after the test to report to you folks how it went. Please wish me luck!

Qs is incomplete with respect to Canadian citizenship test situation. My behavior will vary depending on nationality of goose, if it's Canadian goose, I will run for my life

When completing the employment history, should the dates reflect only the last five years from the application date, or the actual start and end dates of each job?

For example, I worked in the UAE from May 2018 to May 2021. My application date is December 20, 2025.

Should I list my employment in Abu Dhabi using only the portion that falls within the five-year period (e.g., December 2020 to May 2021), or should I enter the full, actual employment period from May 2018 to May 2021?
In other words, when a job started before the five-year window but ended within it, should the entry reflect the true employment tenure or only the dates within the required five-year timeframe?
