I have a very specific issue and I’m not sure how to go about fixing it. I was born abroad and immigrated to Canada around the age of 3. My foreign birth certificate and foreign passport has a last name different than my record of landing. For some reason, my record of landing listed my last...

Hi. My brother is filling out his application and I wanted to know what is meant by funds available for my stay? Does that mean everything he has in his bank account or just what he plans on spending during his visit? If it’s the latter, what is a reasonable amount for a two week visit if he...

I wanted to give a timeline of my mother’s application in case it helps anyone out. I applied using the old portal. January 23: applied January 25: Biometrics request January 30: Biometrics completed March 25: medical request April 3: medical completed April 8: medical passed April 19: BVL...

Hi everyone. I applied for my mother’s super visa on January 23 and received a request for biometrics two days later. She got them done on January 30th. When I log in to her account, I can see the box at the bottom titled “Applicant Information” and it lists the biometrics number and the date it...

Hi, I just wanted to know if your references have to live or have lived in Canada? It just says that they have to have known you for at least two years and not be related. Can I assume this means that they can live abroad? thanks for your help!

My processing office is Scarborough. Sept 2- I sent question on the web form and later that same day I received a virtual oath invite email. Sept 4-I received a call to confirm the date of my ceremony. Sept 8- Ceremony took place with 36 people. The whole process took an hour in total...

Others who have received virtual invites have said the same thing especially Scarborough; that it comes from a personal email that ends in @cic.gc.ca and many have also said they did not get an update on ECAS at all (once again especially Scarborough). They said they didn’t get an update on...

For those who got virtual oath invites, was a line added to ECAS to indicate that you were invited?

They are done by certified translators. It’s a notarized document with the translations and the notary stamp.

I was asked to provide them after my test and I, honestly, wish I had brought the translations with me. I had to get them done after my test and mail them in. If you have stamps that aren’t in English or French I highly suggest getting them translated before going to your test/interview. That...

I think we are all in the same boat. Scarborough is very slow issuing Oath invites and there are a lot of us who have either passed the one year mark or are quickly approaching it. They used to have multiple oath ceremonies daily so I’m sure they are in way over their heads and extremely behind...

Has anyone been invited to do a virtual ceremony that didn’t previously have one scheduled that got cancelled?

Yesssss. Scarborough is moving along. Congrats!

If it gets cancelled they will inform you of such.

Congrats on getting your DM status! Scarborough is very slow sending out oath invites and I’m not sure why that is. They have recently been inviting people to oath ceremonies a day after their tests while other have been waiting for months. Guess we all got to be patient and hope things don’t...

I live in Hamilton and so far it seems business as usual all around so I would go but, once again, it’s your call and what you feel comfortable with.

I mean if they haven’t cancelled it themselves I would go but then again it’s your call and what you feel comfortable with. Can I ask which location you will be having your test at? Does anyone know if this is considered a reasonable reason to reschedule ?

Since there’s no way to really know I’m going to choose to assume that someone accessed your file recently and you’ll be getting an oath invite soon. Fingers crossed!
