Language Skills passed, Physical Presence and Prohibitions still in Progress - Feb 2025 AOR, no document or interview requests

Just updating this in case it's helpful for anyone in the future. I got my second CBSA record requests responded to, this time for my Nexus card entries. The CBSA records matches all my entries that I submitted with my citizenship application. So for anyone requesting CBSA records and have Nexus id, be sure to also include Nexus information when submitting your request to the CBSA. I did not include my Nexus in my citizenship application, so I suggest to anyone to also include Nexus in the citizen application if you have one.

This means all my physical presence is correct, though I just now notice I entered a wrong date for my travels before I became a PR. This does not impact my physical presence days, but I suspect this is what triggered my interview request.

Very useful advice on ordering the CBSA records.

I wonder though how one would add Nexus info to citizenship app.

I think there was an additional info to attach option? Or through the travel document section (don't remember the exact name, but where you can enter previous passports you hold)

3 trips before PR, 11 trips since being PR. A couple of the trips were a month long. All were air travels.

Had my interview today at the Scarborough office. The experience was strange, the interview email stated interview time at 815 am. I got there at 8am, waited around while everyone else names' were called till I was the only one left at around 930 am. All the interviewers but one were gone too. So I freaked out a bit, talked to the reception people, and then was able to speak with the one remaining interviewer. The remaining interviewer was the one who was supposed to interview me at 815 am, but she thought I was there to do the test so she was waiting for the test results (I did my test online back in March).

Anyways, the interview itself was good. The interviewer was nice and apologetic for the confusion. She commented that I put in wrong travel dates for two trips I did before getting my PR. I knew this already, and it didn't impact my presence days (she also said it didn't impact the presence requirements). I gave her an updated physical presence calculator with the corrected. She took photocopies of my passport pages with stamp, and I also gave her certified translations of the non English/French stamps. Other questions she asked was about my work, and when I first landed in Canada.

The interviewer said she would look through my documents tomorrow, if no issues then she would put me in line for the oath which she says is probably about a month's wait right now. If anything comes up, she would email me for a chance to respond.

So hopefully she actually look at my docs tomorrow, just kinda annoyed I missed more work than I had intended. Regardless, hopefully I am close to the end of the tunnel!
