One final update for me. ECAS now shows my status as "Complete".

Ceremony done this morning in Scarborough. 91 people from 29 countries! Happy to be finsished this journey! Just need to apply for the passport now. Good luck to everyone still waiting and thanks to every who helped out along the way. It won't be long until everyone here is Canadian.

Additional question: Cab I bring my application and my wifes application to the passport office without my wife having to come with me. Work schedules make it easier for me to go and hand the appliactions in.

You can definitely take them but if they start getting cranky you'll have to leave. I would take them as it's a special day.

OK....IP is good. You are still within the 12 month processing time so it's normal.

If that's what's listed on you invitation then yes. Also bring your drivers license, health card or Provincial ID card. They will ask to check one of those pieces of ID to verify your ID before the test.

I haven't heard of Casa Loma being a venue but if it is then that's a lovely place to do it.

My test was pretty easy but my wife's seemed a little harder. It had some more obscure questions that came from the little side boxes in Discover Canada. We both passed. Just make sure you read Discover Canada at least twice and do a bunch of online practice tests and you'll be fine.

We were originally going to do the same thing as you but we didn't want to risk any issues with processing delays due to submitting an application in a different name.

She needs to visit Service Ontario first and have her OHIP card and Driver's License changed to her married name so she can use those photo ID.

I just spoke to Passport Canada on the phone. Her passport can be issued in her married name as long as we have a marriage certificate and she has photo either her drivers license and health card in her married name too. They need the photo ID to match the name you want on the passport. @KRP...

Hi Folks. My wife and I have our oaths coming up on Feb 6th so I have started prepping for our passport applications so we don't waste any time afterwards. I have one quick question....wondering if anyone has any experience. My wife applied for citizenship with her birth name as that's what was...
