September 2017 Citizenship Applications

[elie72]

Any suggestion?

For the citizenship test, what documents must be brought with for interview? Pls tell anything needed if the following not completed:
1. passport (expired and renewed)
2. landing paper
3. PR CARD
4. Driver license
5. health card
6. diploma and transcripts (all original) to prove higher education (IN ENGLISH)

Do I need to prepare the above sets for the minors applied with me? They are not required to take the test nor interview though.

Thanks.

Hi,

All the documents you cited are fine. For me, although i took item 6 but they did not check it. They check all others.
I don't have experience for the kids. I applied as single.

In your passports, if you do have stamps that are not in English or French, make sure to bring notarized translation for those stamps. Even for trips prior to your residence in Canada. This will save you a considerable amount of time and hustle.

Hello guys,

Help me with a suitable answer please whoever knows. Here you go:

During the in process stage, at what point of time does our file gets transferred to our local office(Scarborough). Because they were doing my background check while it was in Sydney and now I got to know it's transferred to my local office. Is this mean my background check is completed??

Please help me guys. Thanks

It means that your physical file got transferred to Scarborough, which can take upto 2 months after IP status. Your file, however, can start processing much sooner because all your information is entered in to their system called GCMS. So they really don't need your physical file until later.

Same situation in my case.

No one is "safe" till we take oath. RQ (different from QAE) can be issued at any time during the application, even during or after the interview.

If you are asking about QAE (Quality Assurance Excercise), then possibly you won't get that because, from what I've noticed, it comes around the time application starts processing. But RQ is a possibility for everyone, although haven't seen much mention of it these days.

Hi,

All the documents you cited are fine. For me, although i took item 6 but they did not check it. They check all others.
I don't have experience for the kids. I applied as single.
Regards,

20/20. perfect score.

Interview went very well. Asked some basic questions. it will take 2-4 months for oath. Another waiting game but with no pressure at all.
