    April 2018 - Citizenship Applicant

    Even though the invitation specifically asks for it - in my case, they only checked (and took away) your PR when checking you in for the ceremony. From everything I have read on this forum that seems to be standard. Definitely still carry it, as they are well within their rights to ask for it...

    Just an update - I had my ECAS move to "Complete" on March 30th which was Saturday, one day after taking the Oath on Friday the 29th. Applied for my Passport yesterday and will pick it up tomorrow morning. Had applied for Express as I will be traveling next week. Pretty smooth process overall.

    Test Preparation

    Even though the answer in the book is not the actual current answer you are expected to answer it per the book. I asked my interviewer about it after my test about it and he said that the scantron that checks the test does it per the book even if the information is old.

    How long of a notice will CIC give for Oath Ceremony?

    I just received my test invite today - I wrote my test 3 weeks ago on Feb 12 and DM was Feb 13. The Oath is for March 29 so almost a month's notice between the letter and actual date. From others that have reported here, it looks like there are at least 2 weeks to 3 weeks between your letter and...

    Test question confused

    For anyone else who may have this doubt - I asked the interviewing officer about this exact thing after my test. Luckily I did not have this question on my test - and he said that even if there was old information in the book - we should answer per the book as their scantron answers are based on...

    Thanks - let's hope it doesn't come up - but strange that they haven't updated their material since it has been 338 for a while now. I even checked the online version (as I ordered the physical copy) and that too states 308. It should be easy enough to update that at the very least. Oh well.

    Random question about the test - I noticed the Discover Canada book still notes the number of electoral districts in Canada as 308 - where as there are now 338 districts as per Elections Canada (http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=cir/list&document=index338&lang=e) - are we...
