October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[rajmalhotra7]

Status changed from Decision Made to Complete. This brings to an end my immigration journey in Canada. I came to Canada 8 years ago as a graduate student. My primary intention was to study and return to my home country to continue my former employment but suddenly a split second decision changed my career trajectory for the better.

Here how it started. One afternoon, as I was revising my final graduate paper at the UofC library, the fellow that sat beside me asked me to accompany him to a restaurant for lunch. Initially, I hesitated but then I decided to join him. On our way to the restaurant we saw one of the leading global EPC's doing a career fair, we stopped by and then we started chattting with them. They asked us to email our resume. The rest is history. Five weeks later, I joined the company as a full time permanent employee and I have been with them for over 6 years now. The job has taken me to many countries of the world including my own country (not for visit but for work).

Thanks for this forum. I really appreciate the forumites for volunteering useful information and tips.

I wish everyone the very best in all thier life endeavours.

Congrats!!

Can you please share your DM date, Oath invite date, and Oath date for tracker?

Hey, when you have a few seconds, collate all of the Scarborough applicants from July onwards onto a single spreadsheet for me. (Seeing as you're having fun with the data already.)

Decision Made: April 26, 2018
Test Location: Ottawa

Test was quite easy 20/20. Read the discover canada pdf twice and you should be pretty safe. Interview was pretty smooth. The interviewer asked me if i had any convictions. I just had one trip for 30 days and that was stamped in the passport. She said ill get an oath invite via email. Now just the wait for the oath.
