In Eastern side, it has been a common stuff that after the interview, oath letter is being handed over right away. When is this magic going to happen in Vancouver?

Yes it shows Transfer dates, CSIS/RCMP Clearance, date received, Office in charge of processing, Officer/Agent# so many things some i dont understand. It took 4 weeks invoking privacy act so that you don't have to pay. (Im a Cheapskate) :p LOL

Hi Vanvanvan, did you apply for ATIP yourself or CIC applied for it on your behalf after your interview?

Hello fellow Vancouverites,

I am new here but have been monitoring this forum since I started my application process and it has helped me alot in understanding and getting the support (and anxiety) in my journey to become a citizen. I am grateful that there is a site we can go to to get clarifications and ideas.

I am a stay at home mom with 2 kids, and have never been employed nor have volunteer hours to speak of since we started living here 4 years ago. We would go home every winter break and most summers, and have numerous border crossings. I have moved residences just once since living here. When I applied for citizenship I had 1112 days of presence. Let me share with you my timeline.

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 18, 2013.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 18, 2013. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

We started processing your application on February 18, 2014.

We sent you a notice on June 24, 2014 to appear and write the citizenship test on July 15, 2014 at 10:04 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

We sent you a notice on September 16, 2014 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on October 14, 2014 at 10:45am. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us

It will be a 300 day journey or 9 months and 26 days of anticipation, anxiety, elation, stress, sleepless nights for this happy ending.

Has anyone of you taken the oath at The Tzu Chi Foundation Vancouver, BC? I have not received the notice by mail but when I searched on CIC site the only location scheduled for the time and date is at this location.
