I tried three times over the course of the last 18 months but the reasons did not meet IRCC's criteria for urgent processing. Unless you have any of the issues listed by them as reason for urgent processing, chances are your request will be denied.

The standard response is that the onus is on the applicant to have a valid PR and passport for travel while their citizenship application is in process. Approaching expiry of PR card and/or original passport are not reasons enough to qualify for urgent processing.

I have a valid reason too. Fingers crossed

How did you email them directly? Please let us know

Sent them a snail mail first addressed to the officer who had interviewed me. There was no response, but many months later, I saw on the ATIP notes that the letter had been received, noted, added to my paper file and request denied, but I wasn't informed.

About a year later I sent them an email using their common email address which I found on the forum here. They responded a week later, declining.

CITY can be whichever office you want to write. That's the format they follow for emails.

I also submitted a webform which was answered a week after I took oath; asking me to confirm my full name before they can provide an update.

I don't know if Scarborough office uses only Scarborough or not, but could be worth trying.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I was a 2018 applicant and wasn't seeing any progress on my application, so I wanted to explore any and every avenue that was open. A few posts higher up, someone called me as 'wasting resources' so whether you write to them or not, is entirely your call.

Going by the posts I see here, Scarborough and Mississauga offices are swamped and seem to have the biggest backlogs - I guess largely a function of the sheer volume of applicants from the these two offices.

Well said, desperate times call for desperate measures. I think that guy has no idea what "wasting resources" means. I'm gonna try my chance. Thank you

If your urgent processing request was rejected, did you see a fake (ghost) update at the time it was rejected?
