Can we take a child who is not going to be taking the oath (already Canadian by birth here) to the oath ceremony and have him sit with us not in the guests section? He's only 4 so can't sit alone. Thanks!

Hi all; It's been 6 months since CIC sent me any correspondence for our citizenship application. We took our exam and interview on February 20th and they sent a fingerprint request for my wife on the same day. We've been "In Process" ever since. Since we've passed the 6 months mark, are they...

Hi again; My family is going abroad for summer vacation (5 weeks) and I am going to join them for 2.5 weeks. We are waiting for DM and oath. Should I notify CIC now that we'll be out of the country or wait and see as the time gets closer? Does anyone have any idea how much lead time they give...

Hi everyone; I FINALLY got an amazing call centre agent last Monday to answer some of my questions. We took (and passed) our exam and interview in February then got a FP request for my wife. We submitted it (and of course it's clear) and have been waiting ever since for DM. I called a month ago...

Hi everyone; I just read that the 2017 Family Sponsorship program is now closed (CIC is no longer accepting forms of interest to sponsor a parent this year). Does anyone know when they'll open it again? Where do they make those announcements? TIA.

Hi everyone! I am thinking of applying for an ATIP as I've been waiting for over 2 months since I took the test (and passed) and had a successful interview on my test date. Things seem to have slowed down (no movement at all in eCAS) since we got a fingerprint request for my wife right after...

Hi all; My wife wants to add me as a "representative" on her file so CIC could release information to me when I call the call centre . I called the call centre and they sent me a link for the form using Web Forms. There is nothing on the site that says how I could submit the form if my file...

Hi all! Any idea of the speed of the Ottawa office after test and interview? Granted my case is a bit different because we had to do finger prints AFTER the test and interview, but I wanted to know the average time people have waited after the test to DM and to Oath letter. Thanks!

Hello everyone! My wife and I took our Citizenship test on February 20th. We both passed and the interview was straightforward. The CIC agent mentioned that my wife's security hasn't cleared yet and we might get a request for fingerprints. We got the letter on the same day we passed the...
