    For everyone waiting on Oath invites... I called CIC the other day to inquire about my case and the call agent was super helpful. She could not tell me why someone like myself who has been DM since July 27th has yet to receive an invite (my file is good and "scheduled for oath invite" in the...

    Citizenship photo specification change on August 23, 2017

    Nearly every place (from photographer, to camera store, to Costco and London Drugs) that has the set up to take citizenship /PR/ passport photos will have a stamp that they use to stamp the back and then date the photo. There is room on the stamp for you to then fill out your name etc as...

    Calgary office - Oath timeline

    The DM to oath timeline is the only that I somewhat disagree with you on. I have been DM since July and am still waiting for an oath invite... yet there are other applicants who received DM's in August who have already received oath invites.... so even with this, as with everything else in this...

    Yup. You are exactly right. And your Nexus may have helped. At my test interview, the agent told me my application was completed, looked good and they were just waiting for a final security clearance. 10 days later I went to DM... at which point I assume all clearances are passed.

    You wait... until line #5 appears telling you they have sent out an invitation for the oath ceremony. This timeline varies from people being given oath letters at the end of the test/interview, to many months left in DM limbo.

    February 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    You should contact them IMMEDIATELY and let them know you will be unable to attend the scheduled test date and they will be able to direct you to the process of how to reschedule it. DO NOT simply choose to miss the test without advising them. No idea how quickly a reschedule would happen...

    April 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    Yup - definitely all over the place for sure. It took about 9 days (almost 2 business weeks) for my status to change to DM after the test. But there are many that have been waiting MONTHS for a status change after a passed test and interview.... so I can't complain and patience is DEFINITELY a...

    MAY 2017 Citizenship Applicants

    That totally makes sense.. but the gent you are referencing has been stuck at IP for a very long time, so it makes sense to order notes. My status is Decision Made... which, I believe, means that all checks, requirements and security etc. have been completed and finalised... I can't imagine...

    MAY 2017 Citizenship Applicants

    At the test they asked us to write down any dates that we knew we would not be available to attend an Oath Ceremony. I am out of the country for close to 3 weeks at the end of Sept/beginning of October so I noted those dates. I am assuming it has something to do with that as the oath dates being...

    Yes. I became a permanent resident and am currently applying for Citizenship. I have sat the test and status has changed to DM and I am awaiting my oath invite. I have never needed a birth certificate for either my PR or Citizenship applications / renewals etc
