Thank you! It sure did. I'm officially a citizen. I was in at 9 am, and I was done by 9:45 am. I've applied for my passport. I'm glad this chapter is over. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey.

Congratulations! How did you apply for the passport?

I have my interview on Tuesday 6th and I am starting to get very nervous.  I do have anxiety & experience brain fog in exams when stressed so trying to tell myself, “don’t worry, you know the answers, it will be fine” is it like throwing a teacup of water on a raging fire. Especially when there are hormones at play, the women in this group will empathise with the Sod’s Law timing of realizing you will have your period on an important occasion. 😂😬😅

 

Has anyone who’s been through the process recently got any advice or tips to share? I’m trying to tell myself this is the final hurdle and what sweet relief I’ll feel when it’s all complete & I can either celebrate (or console myself 😅) with copious amounts of Cadbury chocolate. 🤞🏽✨🇬🇧🇺🇸

Think how many people have already successfully passed the interview and got citizenship! English is your native language, I suppose, so it's already easier for you than for most people😉 If you have paid your taxes and had no legal issues, you'll be fine!

I'm having my interview tomorrow. Good luck to us both😊

Thanks for taking time to offer some words of encouragement. I am very thankful to have being a native English speaker in my corner. I have paid taxes but I do have some items in my criminal background when I was a juvenile, I keep telling myself they haven’t been an issue to date though. 🤞🏽
 

Good luck to you for tomorrow! If you feel called to, I’d love to hear how it goes. 😊

I had my interview and oath ceremony yesterday.  It was quite smooth except for waiting for the oath ceremony after the interview, but still better than having a separate path ceremony.

Congrats!  Yes, def better doing it all in one day.  I did have to go back the following week for my daughter's ceremony though (and her interview was 2 weeks before mine)

To be honest, this entire N-400 was the easiest most stress free part of this entire journey for me.  Don't stress about the questions - learn them of course - but don't stress.  I got asked all the questions I actually already knew prior to studying.  I did study pretty hard - my daughter and I used flash cards (if you need them just holla - it feels like a waste of money now they are just sitting around but they really helped) and this lady on Youtube.  I listened to her while I was doing random stuff around the house and a couple of times while going to sleep lol.  https://youtu.be/jpRMh_vKIi4?si=hAvdiqTdqP_9y9dX (my daughter and I randomly say "Hello my friends!" to each other  )

 

Anyway, you've got this!

Congrats! Sometimes N-400 isn't smooth, so I'd recommend being ready for N-400 to be the toughest part of immigration journey.

Congratulations fellow Canadian! I'm so happy for you. I'm waiting to hear for me. It now says 3 months!
