There is only one oath ceremony scheduled for the rest of the month in Edmonton. A friend of mine who wrote the test on Jan 19th is waiting as well.

Ours is Feb 05 and no news.

Hello Everyone,

Today my spouse and I completed the citizenship test at the CIC Edmonton Office.

Citizenship Test

The test itself was pretty straight forward. We both received scores of 19/20. It took me less that 15 mins to complete. However, a few people in the room were done within 5 mins. I did a double and triple checking of answers.

Our preparation for the test was simply reading the entire Discover Canada publication and doing free online practice tests. 

The Richmond Public Library's practice test is a good resource. We recognized a few of their questions on the real test. Their website is: http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

Interview

After the test we were ushered into the lobby to wait until our names were called. When our names were called, we re-entered the test room to wait on the interviewer. There were 3 stations set up for interviews today.

Our interviewer was very welcoming and friendly.

** Please ensure your travel dates out of Canada during the qualifying period is documented and verifiable. The officers meticulously checked our passports to verify this information. 

We were also asked questions about work history and how we supported ourselves during the last 4 years. The interviewer had the applications we originally submitted to CIC, so many of the original documents we brought with us (NOAs, T4s, job letters) were not requested for scrutiny.

The documents checked during the session: Passports, IMM5292s, PR cards, Drivers Licenses & Healthcare cards.

After the interview, the interviewer informed us that we would receive our oath invitations in the mail for ceremonies that take place 2-4 months from now.

That's all for now.

Kind Regards,
Power
