Congratulations. Just under three years in Winnipeg! Consider yourself lucky. Since they asked for fingerprints, does that mean your case was considered "non-routine"? Anyone know?

 

[quinnman]

Thanks. Yes correct, finger prints are considered non routine

Thanks, it was a great ceremony and felt really good to sing O Canada as a Canadian.

80 People from 23 different Nations received their Citizenship at the Ceremony today. Everyone was invited in at 1:15 and documents were verified for all people receiving their Citizenship. It took around 45mins to check everyones documents and then the formal Ceremony Proceeded.

It took around an hour to complete and concluded around 3PM

Thank you, I am not sure why it takes so long for the Winnipeg office.

I have noticed there are many more Citizenship Ceremonies than normal this month, hopefully they have a full time Citizenship judge now and additional staff to assist with processing.

Good luck with your application and speedy processing to all
