Citizenship exam

Finally we got our notice to take a citizenship exam on August 1, 2013.  We receive the letter about two weeks before out exam date.  The exam was compose of 20 questions and you need 15 or 75% to pass the exam.  After the exam we need to wait for a short interview with one of the Citizenship officer.

Right now we are still waiting for the oath taking ceremony.

Update about our Canadian Citizenship status

Its been exactly a year today since we submitted our application for Canadian Citizenship.  So far the only information that we have was that our application was processed on December of 2012.  My speculation about the delays was that Canada Immigration Services are checking thoroughly for each individual who applied for Canadian Citizenship because there have been reports of a lot of Permanent Residents that falsified their information about the number of days that they have been in Canada.

My advice to those who are eligible, apply as soon as possible because the longer you wait to apply the bigger the chance that you might renew you PR Card.

To those who are soon be eligible for applying Canadian Citizenship is that make sure that you prepare all the necessary supporting papers that you need, so that by the time you are here in Canada for 1095 days you can submit it right away.
