I will be completing 3 years in July .. Plan on applying for my citizenship then..
I hear it is taking 6-8 months to get citizenship
Is there anything i can do to expidite the process.
I have heard u can skip the Citzship test by taking some classes.. Was looking for details.
There is no expedited process for Citizenship. Regarding giving tests, I guess you can do the citizenship test at the center (Settlement Services Center or any other center that is run by Canadian Govt). When you give the test there they will post your results to the designated office. That way you won’t have to wait for test from Citizenship Canada. But it won’t expedite any process. If they still require you for finger prints, you have to provide that and it will add couple of months more to the process.
Have a look at this http://www.v-soul.com

Here is what i heard from a friend of mine..
In the peel region u can go for citizenship classes , they charge 20$ for 3 classes and then they verify ur forms and paperwork.
At the end of the classes they will get an appointment for a citizenship test for u.
On the day of ur tests ur forms are also submitted. This saves the time of waiting for a test date..
People who follow this process save about 2 months from the processing time.
My friend went thought this process about 2 years ago..
I have not managed to confirm if this process is still applicable..
Continuing to keep this thread updated with info i find..
The program is called Kolbe Group.

“KOLBE GROUP” Citizenship Preparation Course
A project of Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Mississauga office was designed to facilitate the Canadian Citizenship application procedure and to assist our clients in preparation for the Citizenship test.
The course includes:
• assistance in filling out an application for Canadian Citizenship
• thorough individual check of the application
• preparation for the Citizenship test, including two practice tests
• official Citizenship test appointment right after the course
I did my CO-OP with the Duffering Peel Adult Learning Center (Brandon Gate, Mississauga) in the past & they have the same citizenship test preparation program affiliated with Kolbe group.
This is a PDF file for their Fall 2008 schedule & location for all the cources...
Look at the end of page 5 for the citizenship cource details & on page 8 & 9 for all the locations of the cources.
