bravepeople, thanks for updating the database. I see that only 3 people took oath in July 2014. Processing speed has slowed down to a snail's pace since June.

When you receive the "oath letter", the status is still "in process". After you take the oath the status changes to "completed".

torontores, It is hard to predict when you will receive your oath date. I assume that you are planning to take your oath and then travel. Perhaps you have some flexibility in setting your travel date. In that case why not delay your travel date by about two weeks? You may apply for your...

jimmy1829, ceremonies are in fact scheduled. But CIC web site is not yet showing the dates after Jun 24. My oath ceremony is scheduled for July 7.

Dear Friends, Thank you very much for the good wishes for receiving my oath letter. With all my heart I wish everyone to receive their letters soon. The support we receive from this forum is so valuable. Do not lose hope, and let us continue to support one another. Cheers!

You have to be physically present in Canada for 1095 days from the day you sign your application. So the counting starts from your signing date and goes back 4 years. Within this period you have to be present for 3 years or 1095 days. My advice is that you should accumulate the 1095 days plus a...

Hi Uzas, Thanks for your good wishes. When I said "tons" of documents, I was quite literal. I saw people bringing documents by carts! Yes, actual carts. I guess it is better to be sure than sorry. Cheers!

jma, 1. Use the residency calculator to see if you have reached 1095 days. The count starts from the date you sign your application and goes back 4 years. Within this 4 years you have to be physically present in Canada for 1095 days. In my opinion, you should actually accumulate a month or so...

Uzas, Your test letter will mention the documents you need to bring. My test letter instructed me to bring the following items: 1. The test letter 2. Two pieces of personal identification. One with photograph and signature (driver's licence, health card, PR card, etc.) 3. All original...

Friends, By the grace of God, today I received my oath letter. The famous pink letter was delivered by the postman this afternoon. At last the agony of waiting is over for me. :) My oath date is July 7 at Scarborough. The period between test and oath date is 110 days for me. Please see my...

Service Ontario number is 1-866-532-3161. Please call them. I received my OHIP report in 3 weeks.

Bravepeople, thanks a lot for creating the database for St Clair test takers. It gives us a much-needed sense about how the oath process is moving. Honestly, without this information, our agony would be far worse. I have noticed one thing. Before Feb the process was moving faster. People were...

Even perfect response to RQs means delay. CIC's official processing time also makes this clear: 24 months for regular applications vs 36 months for RQs. My family members were not RQ'd and their processing time was faster. Unfortunately I have received an RQ due to my travels.

RoyMarch03, about 50% of the March test takers in this forum have not yet received their oath date. Also there seems to be no sequence. Some people who took their test in late March received their oath date pretty early. But many Feb test takers (about 50%) have not received oath letter so far...

Canadiandesi2006, I feel sorry to hear that your attorney misguided you and wrongly filed your application. However, I hope by now you have achieved 1095 days of physical presence in Canada. The CJ might give you consideration if you honestly explain what happened and prove that you have, by...

ICES=Integrated Customs Enforcement System. It is a database of vehicles (and persons) entering Canada. It is used to verify your residence time in Canada. FPAT=File preparation template. It is a form filled by a citizenship officer after review of your file before referring your file to a...

The design of the certificate was changed as of Mar 31, 2013. However, the text remains the same: "is a Canadian citizen and, as such, is entitled to all the rights and privileges and bears all the responsibilities, obligation and duties of a Canadian subject" Both designs are shown in the CIC...

I also called CIC today. The agent said that my test result (taken 19-Mar) is now showing up in the system. During the post-test interview, I was told that everything looks fine and I should expect an oath date in 2-4 months. But today the call center agent said since I received an RQ, I should...

kc2500, you are not the only FEB Test taker who hasn't received the oath letter! In fact, only 14 people out of 31 Feb test takers in this forum have received their oath letters. So a lot of people are in the same boat.

I passed my test back in Mar 19. Still no oath date. When I called CIC on May 27, they said even my test results are not uploaded. Is this frustrating or what?
