Hi all, Fished the journey yesterday in Hamilton. Took the oath with all family members yesterday @ 9.10 am in Hamilton. It was straight forward. Checking two IDs, the oath and some photo taking. Wish best of luck for those waiting to accomplish this journey.
It took 6 months while I got my PR in March' 2013.

  3. We started processing your application on September 26, 2017.

Almost everyone have mentioned "read the book" atleast once - twice if possible. even mp3 is available - so you can listen to it. It is 60 or so pages. so plan accordingly. Test is all multiple choice from the book.

there are quite a few mock test sites available - please search in this forum. Good luck.

Hey Guys

I did the exam yesterday ,, it went well ,, I scored 20/20 ,, same as previous recommendation .. book has to be read more than 1 time ,, noramly you would score 17/20 ,, there are a bit 3 hard questions I can hint those questions ( first question was talking about Laura Secord ,, second was about Wayne Gretzky, and the last was about Peace Arch )

The interview ,, I guess I made a bit mistake ,, they asked me to do Finger Print back on November ,, I did it and I sent it back 10 day later ,, the issue was when I called the cic call center agent ,, he told me that my criminal check still in progress ,, so I was worry about it ,, then I brought this to the interview ,, the officer re-asked me you had no problem with police ,, you have not been in jail ,, I told her no never ,, than she was like we will review the file ,, if something missing we shall contact you ,, if no , you will be invited to the oath ,, I asked approximately when ,, she said between 3 up to 5 month ,, a new journey of waiting game also .

Hoping that I did not ruin it.
