Pie_Vancouver, I have a question regarding your passport. I read one of your previous posts (agh! Don't remember the thread now) and you mentioned that your passport had expired. From what you wrote I understood you didn't manage to renew it. I might be (hopefully not!) facing a similar dilemma. Did you have any problems during your interview? That is if you had the expired passport with you only... Thanks

My son only had his expired passport with him as he never bothered to renew. There was no point as he wasn't going anywhere.

It didn't seem to be a problem. When you renew a UK passport they cut the corner of the old one so it is clear that he hadn't renewed his old one.

I got the oath notice same day; I took my oath today. For the RQ, I dont know why I received it since I travelled only twice and worked for the same boss since 2008... but I've stopped working since last year to stay with my baby.
the officer asked me about the reason I stopped working and how do I support my self, if my husband and kid are canadians; when have I arrived in canada ; where have I landed (airport); my status back then; what are my plan in the future ; where do I live
I think that was it
my RQ was next to him and I could see someone's handwriting on it.
then he told me my test result and gave me the notice to appear to take the oath
