Well considering I've been on this forum since 2013 helping people, I think I've more than earned my exit stamp ;)

Alrighty, last post! I had my citizenship ceremony yesterday in Surrey at 8:30am. We had a special guest speaker, a clerk and a mountie presiding over the event. There were 57 people from 39 different countries in my group. The whole ceremony took approximately an hour and a half and we were out...

That's not what I said at all if you read it, I said to apply for the passport IN the married name so as NOT to have to bring supporting IDs if it's in her maiden name. Why would someone ask for proof of the name that's on their passport if it matches the flight info etc? That's why I'm saying...

Here in BC, I was married and forgot to send in my papers to have a new PR card sent out as we moved homes in that time (over a year and a half between me getting married, then me applying for citizenship this past November). I applied for citizenship in my married name, as on the application...

By more info I simply meant send them all the jobs they worked in the eligibility period, just as it asks. Nowhere does it mention to send in stubs etc so I would never suggest someone send those in, just like I wouldn't say make sure to send them a handwritten letter stating why you want to be...

In all things IRCC, be as transparent as possible. You can't go wrong giving them more info than they need as opposed to less. Just write your whole job history on a spare page that you attach to your application. It will make your processing faster if everything they need matches up, instead of...

I'm Australian, I had a TAFE degree for my chef apprenticeship, I simply sent them my completion certificate and my grade record for the 3 years of schooling (it was what I was given when I received my cert anyway). I'm a couple of days out from my oath and haven't had any issues with that so...

I believe technically you are required to get any non-English entry and exit stamps translated, whether they will actually check them during your application is a whole other story. I got a set of stamps translated (month and the words 'exit' and 'entry' were in Spanish), just searching through...

Just make sure that you enter a valid email address that they can correspond with you on and that, if you can, someone is able to get your mail for you. If it's just a couple of months, it's likely that you would receive your AOR before you returned, and would be back by the time the test and...

Ecas updated as of this morning

And not sure if worth mentioning, but eCas hasn't updated just yet, will let you know once it does.

At 8:43am this morning I received my oath invite via email from Surrey, Aug 2 @ 8:30am! So glad it will all be done before my birthday this year, and planning a special day with my loved ones to celebrate. Good luck everyone!

Yay! Just received email invite at 8:43am this morning for oath in Surrey Thurs Aug 2 @ 8:30am, a little over 2 weeks. So freakin' excited to get to this point and all done before my birthday at the end of the month! Wahoo! So 8 and 1/2 months in total. Good luck everyone!

I don't remember the guys name but I was the first person to get called to the further booth for an interview.

Status updated to DM this morning. Countdown is on for the oath now!

eCas updated to Decision Made this morning (I checked yesterday and it was still In Process). Now to wait for the oath invite. Fingers crossed invite and oath are before Aug 31 so I can celebrate my birthday as a Canuck!

Always forget to post in here. Took test in Surrey Wed morning for 8:30am appointment. Wrote a little more detail in the Nov applicant thread but 19/20, first in my group of people done so first to get interviewed, mostly just focused on ID and passport matching absence calendar then the officer...

Test taken at Surrey center 8:30 this morning. 19/20 on the test, and was the first one in my group of around 30 to complete, so first for my interview. Quick 5 minutes, checked passport stamps to the absence calendar (I offered him the translations which he made a copy of and also mentioned my...

I didn't send originals, I sent copies of my passport, DL, transcripts, etc. Then required to bring originals with me to test. If you sent originals and haven't received them back I would advise you to call and ask the whereabouts of your originals.
