March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[rajkamalmohanram]

How long does it take for CIC to issue the official results of the test?

Takes a few days after the test. Some people get it in 3 days and some in a week. So, not very long AFAIK.

Good luck.

I add entries if I see them. I honestly can't manage entering all the information for all applicants for the entire year. One person from each month should take that responsibility. I take major responsibility for September 2020 updates.

But when I see updates for other months in 2020 or even in 2019, I update the sheet.

Please provide your information in the following format and I will update the tracker.

How come there are people who directly got the oath invite without an interview? I mean, don't they need to check your passport stamps during the interview to make sure you meet the residency requirements?

Post pandemic: They have changed the process. Interview is not mandatory.
Checking passport wont give enough data to know how long the person was outside the country. Checking passport is a wrong verification method since passports are not stamped many times while coming inside the country. So there is no point in relying on passport stamp verification. Commuters have hundreds of entries which is not in passport. cbsa records are the only thing reliable to verify which can be done without interview and they are supposed to verify cbsa records anyway as part of residency days verification.

Its waste of time and effort for officer and candidate just to verify passport since officer wont see more than what was sent.

Ah, I see. So what do they do the interview for mainly?

Some officers still sticking to the old method hence doing it. And some officers want to verify some of the entries and documents that have some discrepancy in dates/document.

Having no interview saves us time but lately more interviews which is going to delay our applications further.
