Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

[UOC]

Advise for those who travelled a lot and are going for test: Just marked your passport pages which have relevant stamps with "post it" etc. and prepare a printout with dates and relevant page numbers. This will enable you to help the officer if he or she couldn't find the relevant date (s).
I did the same in my case and I asked her if she finds all the dates, otherwise I was in a position to tell her the exact page number.

Hello everyone.. I got the request for citizenship exam.... i did not receive any finger print request yet. Was just wondering what will the process from now on...

Hi All,

I wrote my citizenship test today.

Arrived there about 20 minutes prior to the time set. There was already a long line up. They make you all wait till close to the time you're supposed to write your test.

They ask you for your PR card and your test invite right before you walk into the room to write the test. There are about 30 - 40 individuals writing the test. You get seated, and the test is passed around.

It took me 5 minutes to write it.

Study the book and do lots of practice questions online. Thats my two cents.

Now I wait for oath invite.

Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on your citizenship interview/exam invite. You just get ready for the test by reading Discovery Canada as many times as it makes you confidence and comfortable and need not worry about any finger print request. Finger printing is only done for a small proportion of citizenship applicants and not done routinely.

I am not sure about turkish but I know that Immigrant Services Calgary offers translation services for many languages .They are not ATIA certified however their translations are accepted by CIC .They would charge much less as compared to any other translator . I am also going to contact them soon for my arabic stamps.

Good luck

Hi informatics,

Did you get these stamps translated from Immigrant Services Calgary? How long they take? What is their fee? Do they keep the original passport with them? At the time of test, Do CIC officer check if the translation is by an ATIA certified translator or not?
