Here is my timeline of my citizenship process!!!

We received your application for grant of Canadian citizenship (adult) on March 30, 2004.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application, and a study book called A Look at Canada on March 30, 2004.

We started processing your application on June 08, 2004.


Your file was transferred on November 18, 2004 to the Woodbridge office for the citizenship testing and taking of the citizenship oath. The Woodbridge office will contact you to write the Citizenship test.


Got letter on 3rd Dec that my citizenship test is on 17th december.

Got letter on Feb 2nd that my oath is on feb 16th.

I did my oath on feb 16th and applied for Canadian passport and got it today.

I'm a Canadian citizen.

Hope this will be very helpful.

Folks, after waiting for more than 17 months, i was suffering with no citizenship hope in sight. SinceI run my consulting company, my US business was suffering due to this delay in application. I wrote to local citizenship office and they really heard my case.
Within in a week of my request , I was asked to submit additional papers which i did and in the following week I got appointment with the Citizenship judge.
We verbally took the citizenship exam and passed. Due to my travel intensive job, I was short of days (three digits). since we gave all information honestly and supported it with right documents, Jugde cleared our application on the spot citing \"honestly furnishing all information\". With in three days we had our oath on Saturday morning. The same afternoon my parents arrived on a visit for the first time and next day we had our second baby....what a week it turned out to be.
