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

[razerblade]

True, but I've heard about cases where the interviewing officer have not asked for a translation because he/she could read the dates.
I have a lot of stamps in my passports (around 50) in different languages. It will cost me a fortune to get all of them translated. So just wanted to know if anyone had a similar experience recently.

How would the officer know whether the stamp is for departure or arrival ?

Do you have 2 applications in-process. On Jan 27, you advised of test date of January 19.

No, only 1 application. I wrote my test on Jan 19 and i was invited for my oath today Feb 05, scheduled for Feb 20

Decision Made? LOL!

He took the oath and is a "Newly minted proud Canadian"... now waiting for passport... he's done.

Because their test and oath were on the same day, oath depended on the applicant passing the test and interview .. so the decision made date was left blank on the sheet.

Ohh. My apologies. Feb 05 is your oath invite. I misread as test invite. Sorry about that.

Updated. Congrats!!

What are the criteria for someone to be eligible for same day test and oath?

Someone told me I need reference /guarantor? I guess it's for passport application, not oath related?

From what I've seen on this forum, typically is you live in a remote location and don't have an IRCC CPC near you.

I see... misunderstood

 

[eurmione]

Where you didn't read the line about stamp translation, are you referring to test invite letter or the instructions at the time of submitting the citizenship application?

Since I didnt read it, I honestly dont know where it is written. Sorry.
