    Became Canadian Today at Mississauga, Oct 2013 to April 8, 2014

    Nice, grats! I had very similar dates too (Sept '13/Dec '13/Mar '14/Apr 7th '14 Oath), but at the Scarborough office. Similarly the test was a lot easier than the the Online Practice tests and Discover booklet made it seem it would be. The interview after the test was very relaxed, the...

    Oath on Monday, Trip to US on Friday - will Priority Passport App Complete?

    Just to update this since the info should be useful to anyone else in the situation described in the initial post: 1. Have non-canadian Passport with VISA 2. Losing PR card before travelling due to taking Citizenship Oath. The summary is that YES you can both travel and return to Canada in...

    Oath on Monday, Trip to US on Friday - will Priority Passport App Complete?

    Thanks Bangoboy! It looks like I'm actually travelling on Thursday, which should still be possible if they give me the same "within 24 hours of Oath" treatment you got. Did you tell the Citizenship office about your urgency before your oath, or after? Potential complications I'm still worried...

    Oath on Monday, Trip to US on Friday - will Priority Passport App Complete?

    Thanks torontonian2003, that's a useful thread! I'll start looking into this Guarantor and references stuff to make sure I can have them available Tuesday if this is an option. Still curious to know if anyone has answers to the other questions if this falls through though - re: crossing the...

    Oath <1wk before US Trip; is travel impossible or is there time to get passport?

    So I've had a trip to the US planned for a while (and I have a valid US visa in a valid non-Canadian passport so that's not the issue). I had my Citizenship test just over a week ago, and wasn't expecting the Oath to be terribly soon, but it has been scheduled for the Monday before my Friday...

    Canadian PR with US Visa - how long is the border inspection driving CA->US?

    Thanks Zardoz, I'll certainly look into that, especially if they delay me this trip too. But it looks like it would take to long to be helpful this particular time.

    Canadian PR with US Visa - how long is the border inspection driving CA->US?

    Hi, I'm a Canadian PR, and have a valid US visitors+business Visa. Thanks to a (I suppose) suspicious sounding name, whenever I visit the US by air I usually get taken aside and questioned for 45-60 minutes at Pearson. There's nothing problematic in my background or anything but I guess they...
