September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[nerd]

After test, is it common to be asked for passport upload? What's the format, pdf book of all pages in color? I have two passports from two countries, guessing I need both?

Its very normal.

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if the citizenship test is currently being taken online, or in-person? People who have recently given their tests may kindly respond.

Secondly, is an interview also taken along with the test? Please clarify.

Thanks.

Test is 100% online. There is no interview portion.

You mention a pdf. The email asks for a photocopy. Is there an option to upload it, instead of sending photo copies? Also, I have only received an email about this, will this also appear in my online tracker?

Thanks for replying.

In that case, it should be possible to undertake this test from outside Canada, correct? I need to travel but have been postponing it just so that I could complete the test first. But the test request is nowhere in sight.

Not sure. There's a lengthy thread from a couple months ago where I'm sure the answer can be found: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i.../citizenship-test-from-outside-canada.736512/

Most people receive instructions to submit pdf by email, but some people have been asked to send xerox by mail. Please follow instructions as per the email you received.
Unfortunately it does not appear on the tracker.

Hey guys,

For those of you who have any info regarding fast processing of the citizenship certificate, can you please tell me what did you say?

I have a business trip coming on november 28th, oath is scheduled on the 15th and I would like to see if there is anything in particular I should say in order to get that fast processing.

Thanks!

Just checked my tracker now. Ceremony scheduled for the 25th. Before you all congratulate me, be advised that I'll make an attempt at getting an in-person ceremony, just in case it's possible and doesn't take too long. Asking won't hurt...

Well, just tell them the truth. Tell them you have a business trip coming up and you would like the citizenship certificate to be expedited. Ask them politely but firmly and they might do it for you.

Good luck.

Those are great news. You're almost done.

Out of curiosity: why do you want in-person?

Last night my wife predicted that we would get our oath invitation today. I am on the way to buy a LottoMax ticket as her prediction has come true!

I just saw the update on the tracker that we have been scheduled for the oath ceremony on the 24th.

I can't stop grinning.
