General Experience Oath Ceremony Vancouver very consistently sends out oath invite exactly 4-weeks before the ceremony. I received my invite around 5 weeks after my interview. My oath invite was at 8:00 am sharp and I arrived at 7:25 am. Same place for parking. The building is not open until...

General Experience: Interview (Copy-Pasted from my previous post) Note: I was not required to complete the citizenship test, so this is an interview-only experience. The interview was scheduled for 12:20 pm; arrived at 11:40 am; the doors of the main room didn't open until around 12:00 pm...

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing great! I became an official Canadian yesterday and I would’ve posted this update but I was too busy celebrating it! Since this forum and its people have greatly helped me on this sometimes stressful journey, I thought it would be appropriate for me to...

Like the above poster has said: no. Police certificates are only for countries outside of Canada where you lived for more than 183 days.

Hey Zenith, I understand the intention of your comment and am in no way trying to offend you. However, how your post read out in my mind was just hilarious. Omg, hahahaha. I am laughing deliriously and I wonder if I am alone in finding this comment funny?

Congratulations! Is it in the morning or the afternoon! If it is at 8:00 am, I might see you there, haha!

Just to clarify, even if you've lived outside of Canada for 183+ days in another country, you are not automatically required to send fingerprints. However, you are obligated to send a PCC (Police Certificate) from that country declaring you don't have a criminal background there. Source...

Instead of a TN visa, can you maybe try for a H1-B or a O visa on your current passport? H1-B is more realistic and commonly granted for people who have a U.S. employer. Don't let your dream job get away.

Hi Bestjan, Yes, you are a Canadian citizen by descent. You can apply to have your citizenship certificate. Please refer to specific instructions here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility/already-citizen.html.

Congratulations!!! Nice to see Vancouver moving. Yes, the prohibition form is standard practice for everyone. CIC is just checking you haven't committed any crimes during your application process. In my invitation, there is a prohibition form and a media release form.

Thank you so much! Merciiiii!

Hey, fellow November applicants! I have good news! (chants: oath, oath, oath!) My oath invitation has finally arrived today in a scroll carried by a very slow-flying pigeon (just kidding, it was by email). After five weeks since Decision Made (which is long for us Vancouver-applicants, haha...

Hey fellow Vancouverites! I have good news! (chants: oath, oath, oath!) My oath invitation has finally arrived today in a scroll carried by a very slow-flying pigeon (just kidding, it was by email). After five weeks since Decision Made and a fair bit of desperation and despair, I am summoned...

Congratulations!!!! Been seeing your posts around for a while and I am so happy for you! I am also beginning to feel hopeful again as a Vancouverite waiting for Oath. Just out of curiosity, did you see the Ecas update the same date as your email invite? Because I received my test invite before...
