    February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Took the oath on Aug 5. Amazing experience! (But truth be told, I'd prefer it in person.:p) 10-yr long journey coming to an end slowly but surely. My application status updated to Closed the next day (Aug 6), and today (Aug 12) I received my certificate. (Thankfully, they didn't try to cram it...

    February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    While COPR is mentioned in the invitation letter, it is only an alternative to a PR card if you don't have one on you (that situation opens up a whole other can of worms). In my case, the clerk asked if I had one. I said "yes", and she said "cool".

    Hello Fellow Canadians! :) Having waited for this moment for nearly 10 years (God, time flies...), I have just now completed my citizenship oath ceremony, and in the spirit of keeping up with my newly acquired Canadian responsibilities of helping the community, I thought I'd start a new...

    Surprisingly, received the oath invitation email yesterday at about 8pm. Ceremony scheduled for Aug 5 so wasn't expecting it until next week at the earliest.

    February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    You may hear some great news very soon. Also, sometimes they would take longer to make a decision but would then also schedule you for an earlier Oath. Here's to hoping this will be the case for you!

    February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Sure looks like it for standard (routine) apps. Comparing my timeline with some of my friends' I'm convinced there is a more or less consistent pattern of approx. 3 months from test to oath (at least for Scarborough office). That said, there are always outliers (routine or non-routine) where it...

    February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    The question now is whether we'll need an interview before DM/Oath Invite. I sure hope not, but there is very little logic from IRCC behind who gets to skip the interview and who doesn't...

    Can there be an invalid reason for travel? Does all travel have to be "government approved"?
