Thanks!

Test not hard but you really do need to read that flippin booklet! There were three questions on mine that I had to go back to, and five on hubby's test that were a bit iffy! We were given different papers. Pass mark is 15 out of 20. We weren't given our marks (but obviously I did better than him. ).

Was a nice ceremony.

No mountie, tasty or otherwise.

Congratulations. We found the test must more difficult than we had been led to believe it would be after speaking to those that had taken it some time ago and postings on here.

The citizenship card is completely naff - agreed?

You definitely need to consume the booklet - I gave my colleagues some of the questions today and the blank looks and head-scratching was pretty comical!

And yes, naff - I agree re the card - I was quite sad to give up my nice sturdy PR card - why can't they send us something like that? (Cost I suppose, and the fact that the citizenship card is unlikely to be wielded at officials for five years?!).

My husband and I submitted our applications during the last week of December 2011. We have received an acknowledgement letter and the book today.
So, roughly after about 1 month. We sent the forms from Ottawa to Sydney.

We will have our citizenship ceremony next Monday. We sent off the application mid December 2010. We received the acknowledgement and book in January 2011, got a letter with the test date mid December 2011 and did the test on 9th January.

It was merely an exclamation as we submitted before yourself and are still waiting ( we are in the so called boonies of Canada which is likely the explanation ). Certainly not having a go at you.

No problem! (I did wonder what I'd done wrong!!)

I hope you get your letter with the test date soon. Good luck!
