Just confirming that I’m done! I was smiling so hard to pickup that passport and to know that I’ll never be waiting on Immigration Canada for myself ever again!! It’s been a looong journey since mailing my PR application December 2016.

Wishing the absolute best of luck and speedy processing to all of those still waiting. I highly recommend applying for GCMS notes for anyone whose application has gone cold, funny enough mine was approved exactly 29 days after I requested mine.

If someone can update the tracker, that would be amazing.

I got interview date. Please update spreadsheet

Status update for interview: Dec 13, 2022
Virtual interview scheduled: Jan 13, 2023


I have few questions if anyone can advice

1. I have extensively travelled prior by application submission. However, I met the minimum 1112 days within 5 year for physical presence calculator. I have travelled around 35 countries during that period. How do I handle question on this travel. Any advice

2. My interview document write to get all my original passports current and expired in my possession. Does that mean only 5 years or all passport since birth.

3. Do i need to show original educational diploma, as I have submitted document for English proof.

Thank you

just answer what they ask for example if they ask you to show the stamps on your passport ... your entry and exit date for a specific country etc...


2. My interview document write to get all my original passports current and expired in my possession. Does that mean only 5 years or all passport since birth.

yes, i would prepare all my passports since the birth just in case....

3. Do i need to show original educational diploma, as I have submitted document for English proof.

better get all your educational certificates ready just in case if they want you to show them ....

Be prepared with the passports , PR Cards, which were valid during the eligibility period.
You might be asked about your employment history that you have mentioned in your citizenship application. You can keep other documents .e.g. the diploma certificate which you have submitted as a proof of English language

The interview is by and large simple they review your documents and ask some questions related to who you are, where you have been working etc..

I've received an invite for an interview on Thursday and it's at 12 pm MST. When I googled MST, it's mountain time.
Did anyone else get an invite with MST timing, wondering if it's a typo. Toronto is 2 hours ahead of Mountain Time
