November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[leo1971]

Is FP request is considered a non-routine application? Today i ask for the status of my application, almost one year is passed, thru web form and it say that FP and RQ may be considered as non-routine.

Any thoughts?

After almost 1 month after passing the test, finally file is DECISION MADE TODAY, now we are waiting for the oath.

Thank you! Only have 2 addresses. They usually call, from what I gathered with the other forums, before they send a mail or email for the test info. Not too sure with other people’s experience as it’s different with everybody. I called cic and confirmed it.

What is the test about? I’ve been hearing lots of the ones who passed it that it’s very easy and just common sense. And some say to read the book. Some say, there’s no need to read the book (which I don’t agree).

Test is quiet easy to score 20/20. Read the book once or twice depends upon your learning speed. Do online tests. Can't say anything about members coz there was no question about them in my test. But it's good to remember main names like PM, Premier etc.
Good Luck!!!!
