October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[Abu Hassaan]

I do not have a similar experience, but I would wait until your application is in process as you then will have a file number. At that point you either send a copy in or you wait until they come back to you. I would definitely bring the original with you for the interview.

Thanks a lot for the valuable suggestion.

In the cic.ga.ca website there is now a new line saying "we started processing your application on January 22, 2018". I guess it's the in progressing I was waiting for. If so, can you update the row 749 (sandrobt) on the file?

Thank you!

Could you also add the following remarks on my entry:

• Mid Jan: Filled web-form to inform CIC of my travel outside Canada for >2 weeks in June 2018

Done

Completed the test and interview yesterday. "Decision made" appeared on ECAS today. GLTA!

What do we need to do in interview? I thought its only test we need to appear. Do they take interview of everyone?

Hey does everyone get a FP request or it's a pretty random occurrence. Also, do you get a location on ecas for your IP or is it assumed it's in the city you live. Thanks.

Not everyone. Not always random. Processing CPC is not mentioned on ECAS. You can find out by either calling them, or filing a request to retrieve GCMS notes on your file, or when you get the test invite. Yes it can be assumed it's in the city you live in, unless there isn't one near you.

Yes they interview everyone. You will also need to present original documents you sent copies of as well as your passport(s).
