London, ontario citizen applicants

[SideshowLoki]

How do you find this information?
Any ideas on testing dates or how many are scheduled until the new year...

You can look for it on the Canada website under "Citizenship Ceremonies near you" .

Hello. I just wonder anyone from the middle east? Did they ask you to translate your passports? how much did it cost? my passport is in English + Arabic but the problem is that I traveled to Saudi and their stamps are in Arabic. Do I have to translate all passports? Jordanian passport

As far as they are concerned your passport can be read as it is printed in one of Canada’s official languges. However, for the Saudi stamps it must be translated as they indicate in the test letter that anything in your passport including stamps must be in one of the official languages and since Saudi stamps have Arabic dates you must bring a corresponding translation for each stamp.

Yesterday we finally got oath invitation on December 12, the long journey is coming to its end.
It seems that more ceremonies are scheduled in London.
Best luck for all!

Good idea. I don't have any updates on which month applicants are being invited to test or oath. Any updates guys?

I guess London office has been very slow. I am from Sarnia and London is the closest office for me.

I think someone from January was invited to take the test. I don't know if anyone from February has got the invitation or not!

When did your application changed to In Process?

I am a new applicant. My application went in process just yesterday. But I know someone from London who applied in April and haven't heard back after the acknowledgement. When a web form was submitted, they said that it's under 12 months so just wait.

I'm one of the two Feb applicants for London. You're correct- the only listed January applicant got their test invite November 1st. I have not received my test invite yet, but I have been checking daily. The London office is either really slow or understaffed; probably understaffed. I don't know if Rae62, the other Feb applicant, got their invite yet or not; they were last seen online in May. If I hear nothing by February 9th, I'll be initiating an investigation... because this is getting really ridiculous.

I think you should start ruffling some feathers now. It will still take them some time to figure things out. You can start pushing more after February 9th.

I've lived here as a permanent resident for 11 years, I think I can wait a little longer. To be honest, I think I'm just in a queue to get the invite, so nothing can really be done about it. If IRCC dropped everything for every single impatient person who demanded things, things would go even slower than they are now- now that I think about it, that might be why things are so slow.

That's not always the case. They have dedicated staff for inquiries. Sometimes they just don't get back to the file. They only look at it when they try to clear up stuff which would happen when they have to report statistics. There's no harm in making an inquiry. It's not gonna slow them down.

That's correct . There were 30 of us on the day of test and I was assured everything was completed and I should expect invite soon. Status is still in process and I sent enquiry through web form but received generic response . Process ha slowed down for London residents
