My time line has been stuck like this in about a year and seven months now. I was told before that the wait time for RQ was 30 months- now it is 48 months. I still don't understand how some people need to have to fill out a RQ form while some don't. I have known A LOT of people who took the citizenship test after I did and they already got their Canadian Citizenship. The people I speak to on the call centre aren't really helping- as they do not know what the status is as well.
Sorry for the rant!

What documents do I need to carry to the Oath ceremony. The letter says bring all documents in original that you submitted with your application.

Writing this as a Canadian Citizen.
Took my Oath on Dec. 12. Everything went smoothly as described in the video in this page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-ceremony.asp
Just went there with my Passport, PR Card, Driving Licence and Health Card. They only asked for my PR Card.
Went in at 1:00 PM and came out with the Citizenship Certificate at 2:40 PM and a very proud feeling.

Hi , I am residing in canada from october 2013 . in 2015 i was out of canada for 5 months . I want to know that if i stay in canada less than 6 months then what will be the consequences for my citizenship. I have heard that if i stay less than 6 months in canada then that year will not be consider for citizenship timeline . I know in 6 years i need to stay 4 years in canada. so in other 2 years one of it is less than 6 months than will that time will consider or not.
