January 2019 - Citizenship Application

[paul2587]

Hi. Just wanna ask, are you gonna have your test in Victoria? Thanks

Why would the test be in Victoria if they are in Burnaby? Seems a bit far and expensive given ferry/air cost

What are you worried about? It's just over a month since they started processing your application. The usual processing time is around 12 months. Sometimes people need to step back and relax. You're already a PR. Just give it a little bit more time then you'll be a citizen of this country too. Go watch Endgame while you wait. Cheers!

I was just asking. IRCC’s satellite office here in Victoria will conduct the test on those dates (May 27-31) as per their schedule online. They will serve greater Victoria and all southern islands. Just don’t know if Burnaby is covered in the areas they serve that’s why I asked. My friend who applied last November still didn’t get the test invite.

Hey I understand, I definitely didn't mean my question to seem like criticism. I don't even live in BC, but last time I visited it cost me $200 roundtrip for the ferry from the lower mainland to Victoria and it was a few hours travel time each way. If IRCC expects people in metro Vancouver to spend that much time and money to go to an island for a test, that really sucks.

The correspondence that IRCC is referring to is that they are acknowledging that they have received your application. Click on Discover Canada so you can start reading in preparation for your Citizenship test.

If you are referring to the finger print request, well not everyone need to submit one. Don't compare your application with others because everybody has a different story. Relax. Cheers!

I take it you noticed this on ECAS? Check your spam email folder and check ECAS to make sure they have your correct email address listed. If they do and you still can't find the email from IRCC, email or call them and ask them to re-send immediately. The email contains a PDF file that is your entrance to the test and you need to print it out and take it with you for the test/interview.
