Good news: Calgary is a fast processing center! Bad news: There will be a lot applicants! Average processing time prediction: 14 months for Calgary....

secondly in june 18 i wanna go back home due to summer vactions of my kids. Should I apply on 21 Oct. Or the next year?
Apply on 6 Nov.

if they will ask me for the knowledge test when i am out side the country then what will i do then ?
As soon as your plans are finalized, inform CIC

Hi friends:
I would like to ask your suggestion. I applied for Canadian citizenship and my application is already received by CIC. However, my spouse can apply on October 14, 2017 under previous rule. Is it better to apply on October 11 or October 14?

Thanks,
Nivrit

From what I know, after C6 comes into force on October 11, you cannot apply under C24 (old law), because forms will be replaced with the new ones.

You cannot apply under previous rule on Oct 14, because new rule comes into effect on Oct 11.

I have summarized some thoughts in this thread about sending applications around 11th Oct.
