[la364]

Just found out that one September Vancouver applicant from here got a test invite while August vancouver applicants are still waiting, strange pattern-

Test invite received - test date is Feb 7th 2020

Congrats! Did you have any Fingerprinting request previously?

Thank you for the confirmation.

another question, when we are putting all family members applications in one envelope, how do we separate them, do we staple ? or use paper clips?

NO STAPLE. Just use paper clips.

Nice timeline you have, can see that the bulk of the days are in the Application sent until you receive an AOR. How was the Citizenship test?

Thanks for asking, I'd say it was easier than expected. I studied mostly from https://www.citizenshipsupport.ca (I had to pay for the subscription which gave me 600+ questions that covered every single item in the book. The exam questions were quite similar to what I prepared - highly recommended!).
The interview was straight forward, but in my case, the officer focused a lot on my travels since I have been out frequently, especially to the States. Gladly I was well prepared and had printed my i-94 history which she asked if she could keep.
I'm still waiting for my status to change to Decision Made. I'm assuming there will be some delays there until they verify my trips and probably go through a security check...

How about you? What's your current status?

Hi Guyz..
I was just looking at the tracker and realized that the applicant from Brampton are the most unlucky with respect to delays. The latest applicant from brampton who got a test Invite is a March Applicant. AOR in June and Test invite in Jan 2020. after 7 months.
But the good thing i observed is that after test they go super fast. just in 3 weeks after test till Oath Ceremony. but this waiting sucks.

Anyone knows why Ottawa is so slow?

Hi randr, I am yet to file my Citizenship App. Hopefully in couple of months time. I am thinking whether to go with a consultant or apply on my own. Could you share how much was the government fees involved in the process, thanks.
