Re: Citizenship Application Timeline

It wasn’t for citizenship (it was for a child care centre screening and criminal record check) but I got a fingerprint check done recently through RCMP and that cost me $70

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...

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline

It took them 6 weeks to change status to decision made but we had to supply additional paperwork to prove dates for a trip to the UK.

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline

Was really hoping for a ceremony date before Christmas but we are still waiting for status to change so it’s not looking so great now. It’s been 5 weeks since we both passed the test.
