December 2014 citizenship applicants!

[AsianIndian]

Finally "IN PROCESS" - 94 days after AOR!! ;D

Finally ! Congratulations !!!
I know I am at the bottom of the December pile, once I saw my IP I was sure every December applicant will be IP within a week or 2.

Now let's hope to see File Transfer soon so that we can start reading the book and checking our physical mail box (in addition to eCAS).

Congratulations.. Study Official "Discover Canada" book at least 3-4 times. Don't rely much on online tests. You can can't solely rely on online tests to pass the test. You should only consider Official "Discover Canada" book only to pass the test.

Take the originals of the copies those were submitted along with the application.
The invitation letter will outline what you need to bring.

Also, if you think some extra supporting documents that can support your application, you may take it with you.
Usually the officer looks at the passports held in past 4 years, pr card, landing document, 2 pieces of ID etc. He may or may not look at other documents however, make sure you take all necessary paperwork(including originals) with you. You never know if the officer might be interested to look into other original documents.
The test is for 30 minutes and you may need to wait for the interview. Overall time may be 1-4 hours depends upon when you would be called for the interview. The interview should be for around 5-10 minutes

Awesome!!

I think most of the people who have done their test/interview during March/April/May will get oath on Canada Day as there would be extra ceremonies to accommodate the people.

Good luck to everyone
