Hi all, I am an August 2020 applicant. Missisauga location. My citizenship test was done back in December 2021 and they requested copies of passport copies on March 22nd. I sent them the copies, however realized after that one of my stamps on the passport was for Mexico and the only thing that is in spanish is the month written on the stamp. Will they come back and ask me for an affadavit and translation for this specific stamp? Everything else on my passport is in english. Please advise guys.

@rajkamalmohanram, please advise!

There is a non-zero chance of that happening (although at this point, I think it might be unlikely).

If I were you, I would open a webform, explain that I've already submitted the passport pages but I missed to submit translation for one stamp and attach it along with the webform request. This is in anticipation of further, rather unnecessary delay, in case they decide they want to get back to you and ask for the translation of that stamp.

That is my opinion but personal preferences vary. I'd let others provide their opinions as well.

Hello All,
Taken my Oath on 18th Mar and the status got updated today on 22nd March. Please update the tracker

I had a quick question.- we dont get an acknowledgement email from them if they received the oath signed doc. Wanted to know if the online tracker is marked as closed, does it mean they have received the signed document and my certificate should be on my way?
yes.
you would receive the certificate 1-2 weeks

Hi,

Please can someone help with this. My profile got updated yesterday for the test invite but I haven’t gotten any email. How long does it take to get the email invite? I never got the AOR from CIC either. Not sure if it takes a few days to get the invite via email or if it is right away after the online profile is updated. If so, is there a way to contact CIC to resend the invite?
Thank you so much in advance.
you will receive an e-mail 2-3 days before the windows test

Also FYI, for the passport request, I had some dual language stamps that contained both English and non-English text.
I ended up sending my passport as it is without any translation, but I did disclose in the email that I was aware of those stamps and that I wasn't sure if they needed to be translated.
