Turns out I did receive a letter and certificate congratulating me few days after my post here. And later an invite to linch with new citizens. A classy thing to do and brilliant campaign strategy, as we have mayor election soon here (candidates for counsuller were there) and federal election...

We saw mostly Grizzlies as we took a boat towards an inlet on the mainland. Amazing creatures! If I could afford, I would go to Manitoba to see Polar Bears. Maybe one day that will happen! Either lottery winning or lots of savings :) And what an amazing feeling, isn’t it? I totally get what you...

When I sent my application I celebrated with BC wine and NS Lobster. When I became Canadian my extended family and friends threw a Canadian party to me and my partner gifted me with a very Canadian experience: a bear watching trip on Vancouver Island. And on the way to my oath ceremony we were...

The Canadian citizenship will be on the system, not on the card, reason why you also have the passport handy. I have used my Nexus in airports before becoming a citizen (the Nexus line, no idea if it was PreCheck or not) and it was not an issue. Haven’t used yet to fly now that I am Canadian but...

Almost 3 months so far, nothing on the mail. It doesn't matter to me, what matters is that I vote next year! \o/

Posting again just as I am finally done with updating all docs! So I went to YVR airport with certificate of citizenship to update info. I did not have yet the passport to update, but since I'd be there anyways picking up a friend, I did it. Within one week it was showing on my TPP account. I...

The info I got at the enrollment center in Vancouver is that I don't have to ask for a new card, unless I want one showing CAN as citizenship. As long as I travel with both passport and nexus it should be fine, but if I am crossing by land and want to carry only Nexus, then I need to update it...

If your cerimony is held at their Expo Blvd location, there is a limit of 2 guests due to the building fire code. They won’t sit with you, as all people taking the oath have assigned seats, but they will be in the same room and will be able to see you taking the oath and receiving the...

Hello all! So my ceremony was yesterday. There were 72 people from 27 nationalities. I shed few tears, that's for sure... 8 years, 4 months and 10 days since I got here as a worker, but who was counting? Work permit and visa renewals, backlog on PR process, changes on rules for citizenship...

I am on the same boat! My I-94 expires in August and I did not have time to head to the States before. I will simply mail it to address above with letter explaining that I no longer need it and copy of my Canadian Citizenship Certificate. I don’t dare not returning it especially because I am a...

Interesting topic, as I will also have to update my Nexus, and I was wondering about the citizenship on it. Now one question: I do have a valid I-94 (I hold a visa for the States) and I wasn't thinking of crossing the border before my oath. Has anyone crossed the border back to Canada as a...

I included the CELPIP results on mine. It's cheaper than IELTS and the citizenship version of the test has only listening and speaking.

You mention your parents and daughter, you should be fine with 3 guests. Especially if there is nothing written regarding numbers of guests on your notice.

Mine will be in Vancouver and my notice says I'm allowed to bring 2 guests. Those are the words on my notice, second page on "important - please note" section: "Due to building fire code regulations, there is a maximum of two guests per client." May be different in Surrey, read the full print...

Oath invite today, April 30, Ceremony on May 29th. Best email ever!

My file was updated to decision made on April 13. No oath invite yet.

All went well on my test yesterday. I scored 20/20. If you read the book with attention you will be prepared. To cover my basis, as I tend to learn easier if I listen and take notes, I read it once, then listened to the audio book twice, and read the book again, this last time taking notes...

Excited to have found this thread! Here's my timeline: Applied: Oct 18 2017 AOR: Nov 27 2017 IP: Jan 6 2018 Test invite: Feb 28 2018 Test: Mar 28 2018 I've seen the oath invitation is taking usually a month from previous posts/threads, even though CIC website says it can take up to 6 months...
