March 2014 applications

[BLT]

Nope, I didn't have the CBSA report. But I had my passports (current and expired), PR card, drivers license, Health card, IMM 5292, VOS, Test letter (yellow one), Transcripts from bachelors and masters, bachelors degree certificate, Dean's list letters, Government scholarship letters, recommendations from internships and jobs, rental receipts when I was in school, the property tax stuff for my house, current job pay stubs and the notice of assessments from revenue canada (2010 -2013).

But the officer only looked at my PR card, Drivers license, Health card, passports (only the biographical page, he just compared if they have the same) and the landing paper. That was it. And I only laid these out on the table. I had the other documents as back up in case

I was a single applicant.

Did you really bring a luggage to the interview?

Hi,
My information is as follows after I login:

Applicant Citizenship Application Status
**** In Process

I don't find received line. What does it mean? I think there was a received status before !

If I click in "In process" I get following details.



We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on April 4, 2014.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on April 4, 2014. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

We started processing your application on May 30, 2014.

Do you guys have any idea, what might be my current status of my application. I am from Scarborough, Ontario.

My application is family: me, daughter(adult) and 2 children. We will go to the test this Tuesday, do you think that our interview will be together (same officer in the same time) or separate?

Does it mean, my file has been forwarded to local Scarborough office and background check is complete?

I think so.

Did you really bring a luggage to the interview?

Nope just a recycled bag ;D Better be safe than sorry and cover all your bases.

Just following the motto I learnt from the girl scouts when i was younger - "Be prepared"

Yes, be prepared. The moment I sent my application, I already asked for all the credit card statement, bills, etc, prepared for RQ. Seriously, I'm going to bring these to the interview, but the luggage will be kept in the car, in case they want something, I'll be back in a while with it. You know, this interview is so important that if something goes wrong, you can wait longer than the whole processing time.
