    Received test invite letter,

    In my case a "no-prohibition-oath-form" was also enclosed. The interview officer asked me to sign it during the interview.

    non-routine status after missing first test appointment

    thanks to all that commented. So I guess "no-routine" doesn't really mean I have to wait more than 1 year but a few months waiting is possible. I have ordered ATIP and hope I can get some useful info from there.

    non-routine status after missing first test appointment

    I did check ecas almost everyday and i'm pretty sure this notice appeared in ecas even later than the scheduled test date. the ecas says its "mail" but when I called CIC they told me it's email and that's how I found it in the spam folder. --- We sent you a notice on July 17, 2015 to appear...

    non-routine status after missing first test appointment

    I think if you provided email address in your application and opted to receive further notice via email they will sent them in email. At least I have received everything (application-received acknowledgement and this test notification) via email. Are you sure "non-routine" means they have...

    non-routine status after missing first test appointment

    I missed my first test appointment (scheduled for Aug 5) because gmail put the email in spam. I wrote to local office (Montreal) as soon as I found out (mid of August) explaining the reason and I'm now waiting for the reschedule which hasn't happened after one month. I just called HOTLINE and...

    second appointment timing

    Hi, I missed my first appointment which was on Aug 8 (because Gmail put the email in spam folder). I found it on Aug 12 and immediately sent an explanation mail to the local CIC office (Montreal) and requested a re-schedule. It has been more than a week and I haven't received any response. I'm...

    A lesson: check your spam folder for CIC emails

    I found out today via online status that CIC montreal office sent me an email for writing test. I was surprised because I didn't notice it at all and I checked my emails almost every day! Then when I look into spam folders...the email was there. Unfortunately the test date was Aug 5 and I have...

    editorial name change and received a letter from CIC

    thanks Eltorpe for your comments. I went to the RAMQ (Quebec health card department) to ask for name change today and I will receive a new card in two weeks. it's simpler and faster than I thought. I will change my driver license too.

    editorial name change and received a letter from CIC

    When I landed in Canada the officer somehow inserted a blank space in my first name on the landing paper, changing it from "ABCD" to "AB CD", and unfortunately all my later IDs such as PR card, driver's license, health card, repeated the same mistake. When I started to apply for citizenship 3...

    Feb 2015 citizenship applicants

    Just sent out my package yesterday. The preparation of the documents was a bit torturing and now I'm relieved that I don't need to look into this for a while. In addition to mandatory documents, I also sent NoAs, employment letters, property tax bills, lease agreements and hydro bills.

    increased free

    but I guess online payment doesn't allow you to pay the difference? Maybe I can pay the difference at a bank teller, but I don't feel very comfortable with two receipts of different pay methods. BTW, I found the way to directly request a request...

    increased free

    I payed $400 online one month ago but didn't mail the package. Now I just learnt that there's a fee increase. so what should I do now? 1, mail the package anyway and wait for CIC to return and refund 2, pay additional $230 (how?) 3, request refund directly (how?) thanks,

    super visa, extending the stay question

    thanks for reply. but I think what the custom officer meant is not this process, but to change the custom stamp right away if we can present the insurance receipt, so we don't need to go through the normal stay-extension application process. Maybe I am wrong and I have to go through this process...

    super visa, extending the stay question

    My father came to visit us on a super visa a few days ago. we already bought insurance for him and printed out the insurance receipt for him because we knew that the custom is gonna ask for it. However, at Pearson Airport when the custom officer asked, he didn't know what is going on (he is...

    some update: "double addresses" appeared a few days ago on our E-CAS. I just checked the EMS tracking number and found it's already on the way. The status is still "In Process" though.

    GCMS notes

    there's no fixed pattern. one time they pulled out the file two weeks after my request and sent it to me after a week, so I requested again immediately, and received the response after a month only to find that they pulled the info two days after my request...so there's not much info in the...

    FlashG, I'm glad for your progress. My wife received re-medical request two weeks ago, also asking for x-rays. My wife did it but my son is too little for a x-ray so we didn't do it even they asked for my son's xray too. we hope they will understand. Now i'm wondering how long it will take for...
