To Aamir:
The place for citizenship classes that i know of in mississauga is in 'Fieldgate Plaza' on Bloor Street, just 3/4 mile east of the dixie-bloor intersection. Hope this helps.

To Everyone else (About the timelines):

From the time of the citizenship test, it takes about 10-12 weeks, i.e., 2-3 months to receive a letter for oath ceremony. The date the oath ceremony letter is mailed, i.e., dated, the actual oath date is approximately 4-8 weeks thereafter. For some people, the oath date comes sooner than the others depending on the number of people ahead of you.

About the passport:
On the date of your oath ceremony, you would be given a citizenship certificate, in a form of a laminated card, the size of a credit card. You could take this card alongwith your passport application (duly filled, with 2 photographs, signed by a guarantor, along with 2 references) to the passport office. The timeline for passport is about 10 days. By giving an additional $30 fee, one could get this passport sooner as well.

Good luck to everyone. There is no need to panic in case of delays.

So my friend who applied for citizenship in late november 2003 got his letter today for citizenship test on 13th june. he stays in Mississauga. i applied in early november 2003 before him from toronto and am still waiting. the status online still says file sent to local office who will contact me. You know the usual statements. his status online says the same as well and has not been updated which isnt surprising
