I agree with bellie. I applied for a 10-yr validity a week after taking my oath. I was given a receipt and on the receipt it tells you when they will mail the passport which was after two weeks. But I received it after a week :)

In addition to your Box 14 on your T4 to be blank, your T4 should show Code 11 on box 29 which is CRA code for placement or employment agency workers :)

I applied with exactly 1095 days and I am now a citizen :)

Only one guest per family (not per person) allowed inside the ceremony room. The staff announced this while lining up, before proceeding to ceremony room. We had three persons taking oath and another family friend came along with us (total two guests) but after they keep announcing this, she...

congrats Amy 2008! I'm having my oath on Feb 9 in Scarborough. Single applicant. Does my spouse count as a guest? or can I bring another guest in addition to my spouse? Thanks.

Hey guys, I just took the test today at Scarborough office (8:15 am schedule). I got the perfect score of 20. After the test, I had my interview with a very nice lady. Checked my passport stamps and asked about work, etc. Basically, a friendly conversation. About the test - as others had...

where is your local office patientdog? I hope you receive your oath letter very soon.

Congrats Donvalley! Do they have a place where you can leave your bags or folders ( for your documents) and coats, since you can't bring them inside the exam room?

thanks def_col_male for the reply. i hope you get your oath letter sooner. I always thought that CBSA report is already on our file before we get the test date and interview.

sorry to hear that def_col_male. how many stamps were missing on your passport? if you don't mind me asking. Thanks. I am missing one entry to Canada after traveling to the US by car. I hope they have my entry on their file.

What a nice Christmas present!!! I received my notice to appear to write a citizenship test and/or for verification of identity/documents (yellow paper) in the mail today. My test date is on January 22, 2015. Goodluck to everyone and Happy Holidays!

So I just called CIC today to ask if my file has been transferred to a local office and according to the agent it was transferred on November 24, 2014 to Scarborough local office.

Thanks Donvalley.

Congrats to all who have received a test invite! And goodluck on your test. How will we know our local office? Do we need to call CIC to know where they transferred our file? I live in downtown TO, should I assume my local office will be St. Clair? Thanks in advance.
