Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
No problem.
It was just Notice to appear, PR card, passports, drivers licence or equivalent ID, I took my original certificate of my language test but she said she could see I spoke English perfectly well and didn’t need to see it lol
I was extremely nervous too - it’s stressful when you’ve expended all that effort on something and it comes down to this. I can tell you you’ll be fine (as everyone did to me) but if you’re a worrier like me it will make no difference lol.
Good luck!
Thanks again

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
I got myself pretty stressed about it too - no idea why the booklet is so detailed when on the day the test was so easy. I had all the dates of events in Canada’s history memorized and almost felt cheated when I didn’t need any of it.
Better that way than the other way round though I guess. I feel like it might be the final test of how badly do you really want this lol

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Well it's been a while since I've posted in here, but here's out citizenship timeline:
1. July 27th - Submit applications
2. Oct 16th - notice of receipt of applications
3. Late Nov - I had to submit fingerprints
4. Jan 2 - notice of test date
5. Jan 29 8.02am - start test. 8.04am finish test. 8.10am my wife and I have our documents reviewed and citizenship is confirmed. We both scored 20/20 whoop!
6. Wait now for ceremony date

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
So, does everyone have to submit fingerprints?
Should I be worried if they haven't asked me to do it yet - I have been "In process" for almost 2 months now.

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
I had to submit, my wife didn't. I've a "common" name, my wife's name is one-of-a-kind! Google yourself, if there's lots of you then likely you'll need do fingerprints. That's my take anyway.

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Hopefully that means I won't have to do it!

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
If I get asked to do it, Ill have to go to VPD because there are no RCMP offices/stations in Vancouver
An inconvenience - yes, will it add extra time to the application - probably but its not an abnormal request.
I am seeing that more and more people are being asked for their fingerprints - especially with the biometrics for PR, permits and visas coming in

You can go to the Commissionaires in Vancouver: that's the quickest:
