Passport arrived in post today - 10 days or so?

This added step postponed my app by around a month, but nothing to worry about!

Yeah I had this. It was a random sample of applicants they double check your IDs - so make sure you have passport, driving licence etc - it was 2 mins and done, they didn't even come on camera.

did you show your Canadian or UK passport at Heathrow, out of interest?!

I went to Brampton passport office today at 12pm, waited outside for 5 mins, then inside for just over an hour. They said I'll receive passport in the mail in 2 weeks. I had travel (hotel booking for Buffalo) documents dated mid October, which 3 or 4 different people asked to see. Much easier...

Congrats! Yes it did! There is a nice welcome to Canada message too, and free access to national parks for a year. A nice touch.

did oath yesterday so application complete - good luck everyone still waiting! (late May online applicant)

hey buddy I was invited for interview too and did it a couple of weeks ago. It was an ID check - can we see your PR card, driving licence, UK passport. It's a random sample of us that do this added step, according to the interviewer. 5 minutes and done. I've been invited to oath in July now. The...

It won't let me log in to take the test. I was supposed to be able to log in from Friday 28th Jan. It just says It's so badly run, this whole process, just embarrassing.

is anyone tracking the other groups of citizenship applicants? who (which month) are getting their invitation to take citizenship test now, do we know?

I don’t know North. Would you recommend it? Closer to cottage at weekend I guess. I was renting in High Park, but buying a detached house there was a stretch. Port Credit, Clarkson, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton worth considering if OP open to West, IMO. Hamilton good value if not commuting...

Not worth buying if looking to exit within 5 years minimum imo. Selling costs are 5% here in agents’ fees. Your mortgage will probably be 5 year fix (with fees to exit it early) anyway. Town houses often have condo fees too, so best to check. We just bought west of Toronto, in Clarkson. GO...

Probably time accrued before PR granted (as a visitor). It counts 50%. So odd number of days.

Think he was misrepresenting in Canada, not US. US visa cancellation was knock-on effect. Not sure if this makes a difference.

(You didn't reply to me but I was one of the posters above) I went to the High Commission in London and applied for a PRTD - it took nearly a week. Depending on which country you are currently in this is the safest option - go to your local Canadian embassy.
