I would think that Nanaimo applicants would be taken care by the Victoria itinerant office, even though it's a bit far from Nanaimo. That's what happened with a friend in a small town in SK, she was called to attend test and ceremony at a far away office, and both test and ceremony ended up being in the same day because of that.

"Regional itinerant services

British Columbia | Victoria | Victoria and area | October 13 - 16 | Citizenship: Tests, Hearings, Ceremonies | Immigration: Landings, Interviews, PR Card Distribution"

Thank you for the info. I'm not finding a board that discusses Vancouver Island so I'm hoping someone on this board has some experience!

I hope so too. I'll ask a friend for her timeline, she lives in Victoria. And I know some folks who live or lived in Nanaimo, but I'm not sure if they applied for citizenship yet. I'll ask them.

I'm sorry, I'm pretty confused.

Have you applied for citizenship yet, or are you still going to apply? Are you afraid that this gap will trigger added scrutiny to your application?

I don't understand the question on Work Permit and PR.

It'd be better if you provided more background so we can try to assist you better.

Hi, I'm sorry this won't be of help. She says she mailed things in April 2013 and had her oath on December 17th, 2014. Those are the only dates she gave me despite asking for more details. I didn't hear back from anyone else from Nanaimo.

You're in the wrong section of the forum, this one is for Citizenship. The one you're looking for is the International Students section, where you've posted already: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/need-urgent-help-guys-t348875.0.html

Thanks so much for looking into it. I have a feeling mine is going to take a looooong time due to it being in Victoria. Depressing.

My whole immigration process is over. My processes for PR and citizenship are both relatively quick and easy. But yes, Canada, this country has a lot to do to become true multicultural nation. I'm so happy that I can vote for this general election! ;D

I applied using old rules despite I was 15 days short. Anybody here that has done the same and their case has gone further than the "in process" status?

Hello Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I hope most of us have already got our oath. I took my oath in August.

I was keeping extremely busy and couldn't login to the forum for the past long time and now I would be active in this forum again :)

Congratulations to everyone who has already got their oath and became Canadian Citizen and good luck and best wishes for people awaiting oath :)
