Yesterday I had my interview and exam.
I will refrain from expressing my subjective opinion and will write fact based.
I arrived 25min early and waited for my name to be called. There were numerous people who came and went during my wait. My appointment was late by 1hr35min. I saw people come out of the interview rooms anywhere from 10min to 25min. One interviewer seemed to take longer, which is the one that I got. The person before me had an interview of an hour.
My name was called. The language/civics was to be as expected. My civic questions were verbal. Study the guide that you can find online and you will be fine. The interview was not easy or cut and dry. It was a stressful, lengthy and tiring process. The only personal opinion I will give is that I felt like a criminal being interrogated. The officer was pointed, diligent and detailed oriented. All very good traits.
I did not know that I was successful in the process until the officer asked if I wanted to attend a swearing in ceremony the same day. I agreed, but due to technical scheduling difficulties all same day ceremonies were cancelled for that day. But it does seems that it is common place to have same day ceremonies at this location.
This morning I received a swearing in ceremony notice for mid February 2024, after checking my online account.
