Please guys I have just one question, whenever DM shows on an application, is it always a positive one (good news)?

Hi everyone,

Received below update in Ecas on March 16th .. I didn't receive a test/interview invite yet by mail or email and the below update is about the oath taking and the ceremony! Is this normal? and when will the test/interview take place?

"We sent you a notice on March 16, 2018 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on April 13, 2018 at 12:30 PM. The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment."

Any thoughts?

You will get email about test location and time. I got the same in ecas and later received email about test time and location.

Cheers

Wondering....why do many suddenly want to travel when they receive an invite for Test or Oath? ..please don't make things complicated, we all know the process takes several months end-to-end and anything can happen in between...so better to avoid travel unless its extremely important, in that case you won't even have to ask cause you know your travel is really really important and will just go ahead with rescheduling your Oath or Test!

I agree. Just be relax and have your citizenship process completed. I shortened my business trip from my home country and paid extras from pocket just to be on test and now DM,

My journey is now complete: I was welcomed into the Canadian family last Friday (March 16th) in Ottawa with these amazing and moving words from the oath administrator (he was a decorated war hero).

"Until this moment, you were guests in this country. Now you are hosts !!"

WOW !!! And yes, I shall now take that responsibility very seriously and help others like I was helped.

Here are some other thoughts...

Thank you Amb John MacCallum for initiating C-6. Sorry you were not here to see the fruits of your labor. And Thank You to Minister Hussen and the staff at IRCC. Yes, I'm still amazed that even with an additional 40K applicants in Oct, I got through the whole process in 5 months. Amazing work indeed !! And Thank You PM Trudeau: In the debates, you said "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian" and after getting elected, you backed your words with deeds and earned my vote (even though I lean Conservative).

And now to the rest...
1. Jason "Fatty" Kenney who almost threw out my PR application to solve a backlog
2. Chris "let me shut the doors after my Danish wife gets in" Alexander who implemented C-51
3. Stephen "Lucifer" Harper who hated immigrants and wouldn't blink an eye to torture !
4. Linda Frum who single handedly delayed C-6 for more than a year (how dare you, specially after some of your own family perished in the Holocaust)

Guess what Fatty, Chrissy, Luci and Frum ? I'm now IN (with another 250K) and I will vote against you lot. The joke is on you CONS !!! Haha.

Finally, let me plagiarize the MasterCard ad:

Photocopies of Docs = $ 5
Citizenship Photos @ Canadian Superstore = $ 16
Citizenship Application Fee = $ 630 (again, it was Fatty who increased it !)
Mail-in (Canada Post) = $ 22
Parking in Downtown Ottawa (2 times) = $ 25
Canadian Citizenship = Priceless​

What else is "Priceless" ? (1) A chance to vote against the CONS and (2) Forgiving them !!!
For the rest, we have C-6, which I dubbed "From Sea(C) to Sea(C) to Sea(C), a (C)anadian is a (C)anadian is a (C)anadian"

No more checking ECAS 4 times a day (Even deleted the link to the tracker).

Glad to be part of the Canadian Mosaic. This truly is an amazing country.

Good luck every one !!

I was there with you in Ottawa on the 16th, fellow Canadian (I still get goosebumps thinking of myself as a Canadian)! Was equally moved by the oath administrator's words. So happy to be here.

Did you get the test invite by email for the same date of the ceremony?

By the way; my address was Grande Prairie-AB and moved to Edmonton on March 1st.
