Hi ,

Can we upload an IELTS general result from 2018 that has not been provided to IRCC when applying for PR? Actually, I have not used my IELTS result before in any IRCC application. My spouse used his IELTS for PR.

When applying for citizenship, they ask for an English result, which has been provided to IRCC before when applied for PR.

Can anyone guide me on this?

Thanks

Oath PDF says this -
Please dress respectfully for the video oath ceremony; the appropriate dress is business attire. You can wear traditional or religious dress and head coverings, however, avoid wearing a casual hat. You can wear headphones if you wish.

Hi, did anyone on this thread take their citizenship test outside Canada? If yes, can you please advise if the processing of your application took longer? Thank you!

Nice! Wouldn't be surprised if they internally marked your application as urgent after all that initial kerfuffle.

Hi,

I've been invited for the test and did the test yesterday but my background has not been completed yet. Comparing to the others' timelines, I see everyones' background is completed first and then they got invited for the test, should I be worry about it or call the IRCC and ask?
Does anyone have the similar situation?
You are not alone. In fact there are many others in your situation. Take a look at my timeline in my signature as an example :)
