Just wanted to update that I took my oath today! What a whirlwind of a year it’s been! :) So proud to call myself Canadian!

Hi there, everyone! I've been unable to log into my ECAS ever since I took my Citizenship Test, so I'm not sure when I received DM, but, I just got an email from CIC showing my Citizenship Ceremony date as February 7th. :) Can you please update the spreadsheet? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I had my citizenship test and interview yesterday (December 17th) in Vancouver. Passed with 17/20. The interview lasted about ten minutes. He was friendly, and asked me a handful of questions such as: - Where do I currently live? (I'm now in Washington, so this may have brought...

Hi all! I just checked my ECAS this morning and had no updates, and then miraculously a few hours later, received an email from CIC with my test invite! Hooray! Can you please update the spreadsheet to show my test interview letter as November 16th, and my test date as December 17th? Thanks so...

Hey there! My application finally went In Process as of Aug 22nd; can you please update the spreadsheet? :) Thank you!

Thanks, Libu! I appreciate your hard work! :)

Received my AOR today - what a nice 4th of July treat! Please update the spreadsheet :) Also, I tried logging in to ECAS with my application number but it said they couldn’t locate me. (I received an email from IRCC dates today’s date saying that they were acknowledging the receipt of my...

Same for me. :( I'm getting increasingly more nervous that I've messed something up and am going to have my application returned, even though I checked it like five times before mailing it. SO STRESSFUL! They received mine on April 23rd, so hopefully in the next week or two I'll hear something...

My application was delivered on April 23rd; could you please update the sheet? :) Thanks for doing this, by the way! It's super helpful!

Did they give you any trouble about living outside of Canada? I've just mailed my application and have plans to move back to the States. My concern is that I have to surrender my BC drivers license (which was used as my provincial/governmental ID in my application) in order to get a Washington...

What's an RQ? From my reading, it looked like the 1095 presence days refers to the time preceding your application, not afterward, correct? (I was at 1136 as of my application date) I know that you still have to maintain your PR status, which is living in Canada for two out of every five...

Okay, that's good news to hear, at least. I'll for sure to transparent; I think with the law not requiring intent to reside that in theory it wouldn't matter as long as my PR is still in good standing, but of course IRCC can be fickle and so I guess I'll just be crossing my fingers for the next...

Hi there! I just submitted my application - does anyone else get super nervous that they've managed to miss something, even though they've checked and re-checked (and re-checked) before mailing?! I'm feeling very vomit-y! Eek! (I also just saw that someone posted that they forgot to write their...

And what effect would that have, if any? I thought that under Bill C-6 there is no longer an intent to reside clause, so as long as I'm maintaining my permanent residency until my application is approved, would it matter if I'm living in Washington or not?

But they would have access to my passport, which would allow them to see that I've been outside of Canada anyway, no? So regardless of explaining what happened to my license, they would already know that I have been outside of the country (plus I intend to update IRCC of my address). - Not...

I do plan to update IRCC, and as far as I know, with the C6 bill you are now no longer required to intend to reside in Canada, are you not? So would it matter regarding what my plans are as far as living in Canada? Section 2.1.3 of Bill C6 says: 2.1.3 Intention to Reside No Longer Required...

They will ask for it. This is directly from their employee manual: What each applicant must bring to the citizenship interview, hearing, or knowledge test Each applicant must bring the following: their Record of Landing [IMM 1000] or Confirmation of Permanent Residence [IMM 5292 or IMM 5509]...

Hi there, I'm about to apply for my citizenship, but will be moving outside of Canada (back to the US for work) after my application has been mailed. My "government ID" in my application is my drivers license (because I have no other governmental ID). When I return back to the States, I'll...

Hey guys, I'm gathering around all of my documents for travelling and I have everything that I need, but then I saw that they want everything from the five years immediately preceding the application. Whoops. I'm applying on March 15th (roughly), so will need from March 15th 2013 until...

Haha, that is what I thought! I don't know why this miraculously looked so foreign to me all of a sudden, as I have researched and re-researched for months to make sure everything was good to go. CIC sure knows how to get under our skin though, that's for sure...I can't wait to not be in a...
