hi - i took the test last Wednesday but the interviewing officer asked for my US travel history so I mailed it yesterday. Does anyone know or has had a similar experience? How long did it take to get the oath schedule? Thanks

Why do you think you were asked that?
Did you miss any trips on your application? Or did you travel too much to the US?

Can you say what documents you carried with you as well, for the benefit of all of us

 

[newbie233]

Both. I have too many trips to the US and I think the one random trip he looked at on my residence calculator form, he couldn't find it in my passport. After the test, you wait to be interviewed and you show 2 pcs of ID (health card/drivers' license), all passport/s, and your PR landing document. I didn't bring my landing document with me but it was fine.

Oh my, it seems like the timing is quite random for applications in Montreal. When I was in contact with my MP for my first citizenship application (Yes, I said first...now on my second) I had emailed a staff member responsible for immigration requests. We then set a time to meet in person so I could sign authorization papers and give information about my file. They may not be able to see a lot more detail than what is being given already, but they could possibly investigate/gently encourage more information from IRCC.

In my case - the first application was ultimately refused. I had missed a trip on my calculation so I was 10 days under the 1460 requirement (I applied in July 2017 before the October 2017 change in laws). My file was forwarded to a judge after my exam (Feb 2018) and sat waiting for refusal until August 2018. My MP office called twice to inquire, but only on their second call (end of November 2018) was the file updated and acted upon. So, I'm not saying it is a miracle cure and everything will be solved, but they do record all contact attempts by the MP office and there's a slight impact on getting updates versus not contacting or emailing IRCC.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Will definitely try to contact the MP. I'll let you know if I have any updates. Thanks.

Hope everything will be alright.

I would be in similar situation and i use nexus card and there wont be any stamps in passport. How would you get US travel history , is it from I94 website? and you mailed or emailed that to officer?

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble gathering the exact documents required for the citizenship test.

Do we have to include the Physical Presence Calculator?

Hi Admins and Group members,
I got and cleared my test last friday but the interview officer said that initially till yesterday your background check came good but when we ran a last run we got a FP request on your file. I have heard and seen on this forum as well that these Fingerprint request are a part of the background checks conducted prior to the test invite. Does any body else experience it and how long would it take for them to contact me with the FP request.?
The officer said you will get a letter requesting you to provide the FP and then the process will take its due course if everything else goes well I will get to oath ceremony.

Did the test today in Scarborough and got invited for the ceremony tomorrow. I can't believe this long journey (PR + Citizenship) is coming to an end. My test invite came after 9 months. Please study for the test. It's easy if you studied for it ( I passed 20/20 and went over my answers 3 times just to be sure) but if you're winging it, you might have a bit of a hard time. These resources below are gold. The actual questions are obviously different but this is fantastic practice.

I am not supposed to blow the guy's cover but that guy is alien from outer space. No human does that test in less than 30 seconds.
