Finished my oath this Tuesday, very smooth and exciting process. The checkin took almost 1 hour to finish, and the ceremony took about another 45 mins.
Surprisingly, I didn't see anyone who took citizenship test with me at the same time during ceremony, don't know how IRCC schedules.
I also applied my first Canadian passport this morn at Surrey central passport office, very few people in the morn, only take 10 mins to finish the process.

Hi Experts, my wife had applied with my 10 years old daughter, and we got test invite for my wife today, my wife has Arabic stamps in her passport which I already got translated, my question is do they need the minor's passport stamp translation too? I can see in the email sent, it says bring the documents of the minor along with you. but I did not translate it as I thought they are not going to appear in the test or interview, but if someone have experienced that they were asked for translation of stamps in minor's passport than I will get it done ASAP.

thanks in advance.

For Vancouver and the Northshore applicants:
How long did you have to wait for a test invite after you got your in process in ecas? 2 or more months?
Looking at the spreadsheets does not really give me an average estimate...
much appreciated!

Has any Surrey applicant got an oath invite recently?

According to cic.ca/CeremonySearch there are oath ceremonies on October 26 and October 28, so I’m curious if anyone from this forum has been invited.

I got a fingerprint request today and it says to send results to Vancoucer office. Does that mean I'm Vancouver office and not Surrey?
Thanks!
