Hi khowe,

Congrats, it is really exciting. My file was transferred the same day as you (30 december). I checked my ecas, nothing!!! I also called them they said your file hasn't been assigned a test date yet.

Travel after citizenship test?? need help!

Hi guys,

I took citizenship test with my bro (we applied together in a same envelope) on Feb, 18 in Vancouver office.
Test was a piece of cake and interview was very short. Both of my brother and I had no problem during the interview (seperately) and the officer interviewed us said everything was good.

I am planning to travel in March and will be back on April 10, but then I am getting worried since I saw some vancouver applicants receiving their intivations for oath in less than 2 months. I was told that I will receive the invitation in 3-5 months so I bought my air ticket with no doubt, but it seems like most people get it earlier than that. Problem is that I have to pay penalties which is pretty expensive to change my return date.

I am having trillion butterflies in my tummy now.

What do you guys think? Is it too risky to stay until April 10 which is about a week before the second month?
Does family application take longer than individual?
(No RQed for both of us)
Please give me some advice..... Thx

From what I see in the spreadsheet, I dont think you'll have your Oath date before April 10th, but you have to ensure that someone will check your mailbox for you, in case of:

Hi Paco,

Thank you for ur comment and data.

It really freaks me out that Vancouver office has become faster these days Maybe I should call CIC to report my absence in Canada til Apr. 10 just in case. I meet more than enough for the residence obligation, so I hope it won't cause any problem..

If I were you, I would follow the rules all the time. If you are going to be away for more than 2 weeks, inform CIC.

So if you are leaving the country (even on temporarily on vacation) while your citizenship is in process, do you have to inform CIC ???

Absolutely, if it is for over 2 weeks.

I don't get why you asked this same question in 20 threads. Anyway, in your test they told you to wait between 3-5 months, didn't they? Also look at the timeline Paco posted above:

Thanks for providing us with your time line. 1.5 month between test and receiving oath invite, that is great! I am hoping i can get my oath invite within 3-4 weeks too.
