    This close, never. Usually weeks. I was surprised in my case it was 13 days. One of the fastest. You beat the record. Possibly someone had to reschedule and a spot opened, and that's why you were called.

    I felt the same way at first. So what I did, I went through all websites offering free exams and practiced and practiced. I got an idea what to focus on. Then after I read the book, things became clearer. I had two sheets on hand, the first, whenever I encounter a date/year I will write it and...

    Applying for GCMS is a waste of your and IRCC time. IRCC handles 50% of all Government of Canada request for information access. This is an abuse of the system. Do you know how many agents and officers are assigned to handle these necessary requests instead of focusing on citizenship and other...

    Every applicant has to get security clearance to be approved for citizenship. This process takes months by CSIS. When done they notify IRCC. The exact time varies. Applicants from middle eastern or majority Muslim countries probably have more processing time for sometimes they have to do a...

    I have received the FP request in July. Sent in three days. Your status won’t change and it will remain in process. To make sure they got my FP, after three weeks I filled a web form for adding information to my application where I uploaded the FP receipts and asked about my status. In 10 days...

    It depends, some people the next day, others within two to three weeks. Check the tracker spreadsheet. Some unfortunate ones could take months if their application warrants further examination after the interview (i.e. frequent travel, agent suspicious .. etc)

    From what I read, if you apply by mail, you need to submit original and it will be returned to you. If you apply in person, the agent will take a look at it and return it to you on the spot.

    Thank you. That’s a relief. I hope I get DM within the week. I hope you do the oath soon. It depends on the capacity. I see they have ceremonies 3-4 times a week. Good luck

    Congratulations. You and I had the exam on the same day and place. I did not get DM though. The officer said my applications needs 3-4 months to be finalized. I don't know what that means. 3-4 months to DM or to Oath ceremony. Did the officer who interviewed you say anything to you to give you...

    Hi, I passed my test today 20/20 and the interview was less than 10 minutes, straightforward and smooth. Mostly identity and passport stamps checks. The officer told me it could take 3-4 months to finalize my application. My question is, are background checks completed before one is called for...
