Hi all, I recently obtained my Canadian citizenship and was chatting with my sister-in-law and she mentioned that her paternal grandparents were born in Canada. It made us wonder whether she would be eligible for citizenship by descent. We tried the "Am I a citizen" tool and it didn't give a...

Ok so I'm a little confused about my experience today. I just obtained Canadian citizenship this month so I went to the enrollment centre today to have my new citizenship status updated. It was an easy enough process and I queried whether I required a new card with my Canadian status on it and...

We're officially Canadian now! We took the oath on November 13 in Hamilton. ECAS showed compete the very next day so we applied for our passports too. The guy at the passport office was amazed that we were already in their system only 1 day after taking the oath. He also had no idea that we...

My husband was in the same situation a month ago, he only realised the night before he was supposed to write the test and spent hours searching through our filing cabinet and boxes before realizing he had submitted it with our PR applications. Thankfully he had a scanned copy saved in his...

Hooray! We had our oath ceremony yesterday and can now officially call ourselves Canadian! Checked ECAS today and it already said complete so I submitted my passport application and now the wait for that to arrive begins... it seems like we are always waiting for something! Can someone please...

Hooray! On October 23, exactly 1 year after our applications were received, we finally got our invitations to take the oath. In Hamilton, on November 13 we will be able to call ourselves Canadian. Can't wait to finally share the same status as our Canadian kids! ❤

I wrote my test on August 9 and passed, unfortunately my husband had to reschedule his test due to some work things. He wrote his test yesterday and also passed! This morning, DECISION MADE at long last! Waiting impatiently now for the oath invitation!

Both my husband and I received test invitations for Hamilton yesterday.

After waiting for what has seemed like forever we finally received our test invitation today! App Sent: Oct 18 2017 Arrived: Oct 23 2017 AOR received: Feb 8 2018 IP: Feb 15 2018 Test invite: July 18 Test: August 9 Slightly freaking out now ETA - Oakville applicants so we're being processed in...

We received FP requests in the mail on Friday March 9, despite being told it was sent via EMAIL the day before when we called to query the update in ecas. Both went and had fingerprints done on Saturday March 10 through Commissionaires. Here's hoping we receive our test invites soon. Can the...

Just called and they confirmed it's a FP request. Email was sent yesterday but I haven't received it. I was told they can't take any action to resend it until 5 days have passed though, so I'll be obsessively checking my email for a few days I suppose. Can this be added to the spreadsheet? Thanks

Just got an update on ecas. Is this likely a fingerprint request or dreaded RQ? "We sent you correspondence on March 8, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before...

Holy moly! After waiting for what felt like a million years for our AOR's, I just checked ECAS and saw this! "We started processing your application on February 15, 2018." 1 week from AOR to IP!

We contacted our MP's office but it probably didn't make any difference. After multiple calls to CIC the only extra info that her office was able to get was that there were literally buckets full of October applications and that we should wait a couple more weeks. The processing centre is...

Our applications were delivered on October 23 and we got our AOR's yesterday.

Thanks! It was delivered on October 23! It's been a LONG 3 months waiting for this email to arrive.

Finally!!! We got our AOR email today!! Nothing in ecas yet but things are finally starting to happen!! Couldn't be happier right now! :D

We've been in touch with our MP twice now and it's gotten us nowhere. The first conversation was 2 weeks ago and he was told that we should have our AOR within 2 weeks and to call back if we don't hear from CIC by today. Today he took it to the next level in the ministry channel and was told to...

Yeah I know. Its so frustrating especially since so many people who submitted after us have already received them... but hey... what can one do... it is a government department afterall... LOL
