Hi Folks

They are very slow. I have a question to ask. I applied with my daughter and son (minor). My family is moving to Toronto by mid of June. My test date may be somewhere mid of June or end of June. My spouse is not eligible by this time.

During the day of test, do i need to take my kids to the center or i am supposed to go alone. they may reside in Toronto by that time

please advise?

@gregmah, you do not need to take children to citizenship test. But, they have to attend the citizenship ceremony with you.

I second CGYFlames , kids under 14 years are not required to attend the test but they should be present for the oath.

I think you should be able to change your address on-line after the test. With the speed things are going in Ontario, you should not loose any time.

Hi, need some advise from Calgary test takers. Are we allowed to take cell phone and a handbag inside the test center at Harry Hays? Or do we have to keep them somewhere outside for the duration of the test? Thanks!

You are allowed to take all your personal effects - bags, documents, cell phones, tablets etc to the test hall. You can even read your books and scroll through the phone while waiting for the commencement of the test. Once test is about to begin, you will be asked to place everything on the floor and have your phones off.

Dear all,

I had a quick look at the Calgary spreadsheet yesterday and noted that the formulas got messed up due to sorting. I did revert the spreadsheet to the last version where the spreadsheet was still correct (especially to first four lines). It has happend to me as well earlier (thankfully I noted it and was able to revert it): be carefull not to include the first 4 lines when you do a sort as it might otherwise change the formulas and subsequently the estimated dates.

Cheers,

Looks like that calgary office conducts test once in a month. i could see that one test was conducted on April 30 and the next is may 27.
