Hi Guys,

I am living in Ottawa and applied for citizenship on 20th March 2008.

I've received ack letter in first week of May 2008.

Now, I can see online status and my file has been transferred to Ottawa CIC on 19th June 2008.

How many times Ottawa CIC conduct citizenship test in a year?
Can anyone knows about past or future dates for citizenship test at Ottwaa?

Do you think I'll have citizenship + canadian passport + OCI before November 2008? (I am planning to fly to India in December for a month. I would prefer to book an air ticket in advance.)


Thanks in Advance

Success is Never Ending and Failure is Never Final.

If you are really planning to leave to India in December, then there is no way that you can get all the documents done by November 2008 ( Given the current lethargy in Canadian govt. offices/ Indian counsulates.
First they have to call you for the test, then the oath and then you will have to apply for the passport and then the OCI. The greatest uncertainity lies between the submission of the application form and the oath. The rest have some defenite timeline. Passport can be got in 2 weeks and the timeline for the OCI (In Toronto , it is said to be 2 months but I got it in 40 days).
There is website (search the Charcha) which lists the timeline (filled by members and hence may not be 100% accurate) for the Test and Oath in the Ottawa region.
Hope this helps.

Peace
