[Saadi Hussein]

Has anybody here asked to provide passport translation at interview?
Have you heard from them after you sent them the translations?
Almost 6 months has passed from my interview and test, but nothing happened yet!

What the offcer said when you interview and you can call cic to make sure

3. We started processing your application on March 6, 2018.

Hi
I believe we have similar timeline, after my test/interview I was asked to provide additional documents which was sent in May. Still waiting for Oath Ceremony invitation.
My status is "In Process"

Called cic last week and the agent mentioned my application looks good but still running residency check. So I can expect oath from now on until November.

All we can do is wait thats all.

Yes. I have contacted the CIC earlier in July and they told me that my file has been transferred from Mississauga to Scarborough and that I should receive the correspondence soon. "Soon" means almost two months.

Thanks! Since I have PR card with me, I think COPR could be substituted. Anyway, let's wait and see.

They didnt ask mine during the interview.. even though I carried. They just asked for my PR card.
Please carry a copy of the document and also, I would say, please apply for the CoPR (Record of Landing document), as you might need it, at later stage too..

Hello Everyone..

After a long wait, I finished my Oath in Mississauga office..

Finally become Canadian Citizen.. took 8+ years to this entire journey... started with Work Permit, PR and then interruption because of the policy change, and again reverted back to 3/5 rule by the time when we actually got eligibility to apply, took 9 months after applying and took 4 months of DOM...

Hi Admin,

Please update the excel sheet with my status.
I finished my Oath on August 28th, 2018. Completed in Mississauga office.. even though I did my test earlier in Scarborough location.

Hi,
i am in the same boat... I did the test the last April 27th and i am still In Process... at the interview they told me that they could not see any complication with my application... but still not even the DM. Last week I asked for the ATIP, I am still waiting for it too.

I moved to europe for a period to stay close to my family for few months... and i am scared that this could affect my citizenship process even if it should not....
