Had my Citizenship test today. Cleared it with flying colors. 20/20 in 5 minutes. Definitely over prepared.

The officers were like the oath invitation can take any where between 1-3 months.
Congratulations.

Hey Mani,

My interview was really fast. After you hand over the test, you are escorted to another room where a bunch of citizenship officers are in tables interviewing people. It's all open concept so you can see and overhear other people talking. I had a bunch of documents prepared but the CO didn't care. She just asked to see my confirmation of landing, pasport and DL. While checking my documents she asked me what do I do for work and if I had ever studied in Canada, and as far as questions go, that was it.

The next step was checking the stamps on my passport. She took her sweet time cross-referencing my residency calculator against my passport stamps, and she said she had to check it very carefully as I had applied with the minimum days.

When she was done she told me that was it, and that I should expect the oath invite in the next 1 to 3 months. The test started at 8:10am and I was in my car and on my way to work by 8:40am.

Hope this helps.

If you have the required minimum physical days of presence there is nothing to worry at all.

Mostly, RQ is sent only if the CIC wants to verify if the candidates actually has the total number of physical days required or has history of heavy overseas travel.

Wish you all the best.
Thank you, I might be worrying out of nothing, but it never hurts to ask. Wish you all the best too.

Test notice can come either way depending on your Visa office's preference. If it urgent then they might choose to send it via email etc. Just be on the lookout for both ways.
