I apologize, I did not see this message earlier! I'm guessing you finished your interview by now? Did you have any issues? Were your translations acceptable?

Sorry my post was ambiguous. I got the test invite e-mail on 3/31 and my test window was from 4/5 to 4/25.

It's generally a 21 day window to complete the test. I was provided about 5 days notice.

To some of the more experienced members here, is there not a risk of RQs being issued when entries are close to the interview / oath dates? I could be wrong but I could've sworn I remember reading about such experiences years ago.

I've been receiving e-mails all of last week. It's CIC-Calgary-Citizenship@cic.gc.ca

I think the confusion arises because copies of stamp pages are not a requirement as per the citizenship application document checklist. They only require the biographical pages of the passport which, by ICAO rules, always have English or French. In fact, when my spouse was granted citizenship...

My interview is coming up on Monday and IRCC e-mailed me yesterday to request a translation of passport stamps that were in 3 different languages. I was bummed out and expected this to cost a few hundred dollars. In fact, a local translation service in Calgary quoted me a little over $200 with a...

Re: China stamp - the country and the date are in English so typically these don't need to be translated. In my case, I sent a colored passport copy (per IRCC's request) on Monday. They got back to me on Tuesday saying that they need specific stamps translated and highlighted the page numbers...

I was cracking my knuckles, fully prepared to take you to town for your uninformed reply - in any case thanks for the comedy!! I don't get this part though. What sort of complications can arise from not renewing a passport? My understanding is that it could be expired for 50 years for all...

Pre-covid: It depends on your other citizenship. Since 2016, all Canadian dual citizens need to use their Canadian passport to re-enter the country by air. Without a Canadian passport or an ETA (travel authorization), the gate agents won't even let you board. The only exception is if you're a US...

Yes we’re all supposed to look into the application formats for simple governmental processes before we immigrate to a place, because that’s the most important criteria. Get a grip - it’s normal to criticize and hold governments to account for unnecessary and outdated bureaucracy.

What citizenship ceremony? :rolleyes: You're in luck, everything's been cancelled since mid-March - tests/interviews and ceremonies. They haven't sent any updated invitation letters since mid-March (as far as I'm aware). When they get around to re-scheduling ceremonies and when they send you an...

Agreed. Just to add another data point here, when I applied for citizenship in 2017, I had about 100 trips on my travel history. On my test/interview date, the interviewing officer had a list of all my declared trips with a check mark against it - she had individually verified my trips against...

My test is scheduled for 6:29 pm and for real I thought it was a typo. A government office? Open past 4pm?! IRCC? If your explanation is true, I am genuinely surprised they are throwing additional resources at the citizenship process, something that was never really a priority for the...
