[Hey]

Okay, so I am going to the test this Saturday. I have been reading Discover Canada. I read it about 10 times already and I am not worried about the multiple choice test anymore... I think I prepared well, and I still have 5 days to practice with my spouse...

I have a few questions to those who recently attended. Could you please share your experience with me and others?

1. Things we are supposed to have with us are all the originals of documents listed in the check list. That's what it says. So we are grabbing all of our passports (the expired ones and the new ones), stamp translations (Mississauga office does not ask for them though, it is NOT in the letter, they don't say anything about translating stamps), our college diplomas and transcripts... Do we need to have all the forms we submitted?

2. What is the dress code? I was thinking business casual... I do not want to overdress because I simply do not have time to go to Dufferin Mall and buy new clothes... I do have some official clothing but to be honest it has been at least 2 years since I wore it (same goes for my spouse) and it is not good anymore. I do not care about money, I could easily afford to buy new jacket etc., I simply do not have time, I work 9-6 and then I have obligations after that, so my dilemma is IS IT OKAY TO BE DRESSED IN BUSINESS CASUAL? Do they care?

3. We traveled quite a bit (2-3 vacations every year for 7-10 days). It is not a lot of days but it is about 8-12 vacations in the eligibility period. We have all the stamps in our passports etc. I have been collecting all boarding passes since I knew this day would come. Should I take all of that extra proof with me that we only traveled for vacation reasons? Or is it an overkill? How appropriate would that be to whip out boarding passes and show them to the officer?

Those are all my questions, if someone could share, that would be greatly appreciated...

Be yourself without any extra non sense

Test: February 22, 2018 (Passed 20/20, still waiting for DM)

I think I am one of those cases where they haven't sent DM within 2-3 days. At interview, I was told that it will take 3 to 4 months before oath ceremony happens.

Finally took my oath on March 2 at Mississauga center. It was a very well organized event and we end up getting our citizenship certificate. We were asked to wait for two business days before we apply for passports to give enough time for Service Canada's systems to be updated.

I want to thank this forum with my deepest gratitude in helping me all the way from work permit to PR and now to citizenship. I wish all fellow forum members good luck and best wishes in any of their immigration matters that they are dealing with.

i believe it is according to the officer, he/she approves the application, then sends it to the oath section who update the status when the oath is scheduled or close to be scheduled

Just do RCMP.
FP doesn’t impact timeline if no criminal record
