RQ after citizenship test

[Lyskov]

hi!i passed the test on August 15,2017.During interview the officer gave me RQ(the problem was with My residency calculator,where 2 absences were dated wrong,as Jamaica and Cuba didn't stamp my passport and I put approximate dates).I sent hotel reservations and flight confirmations on the next day.Now I'm so nervous to think that processing RQ will take months and up to one year .Please,share your experience and information if u have any.Thanks!

Hi

Did you have same issue. As per my knowledge and information CBSA record only shows entries to Canada and not exits unless it is the land border to usa. As this poster said cuba and jamaica dint stamp his passports so exits from Canada can't be verified so CIRC should contact CBSA as well as airline menifest to get exits record from Canada. I have heard CIRC has resources to track exits from Canada if exits are not available from applicant

Traveller exit information is also available in a limited capacity but applies only to foreign nationals entering the United States from Canada on or after June 30, 2013.

For your own records you can also order your CBSA or ICES or report


Good luck to you both

read my last post and order your ATIP/GCMS notes to see what concerns they have about you. These notes will at least give you some info. It takes 30 days to get it. Here is the link

In my opinion as you said you already know the concerns then you should at least yourself try to make a list of dates you left canada and the time you spent in cuba/jamaica. you should be aware of the exact dates and time spent outside canada. Try to get boarding passes or airline tickets , if you dont have one you can ask the airlines you travelled with to give you that info. I already said you can also order your cbsa report to check what info they have because they also gonna order that one for you.

some countries provide record of movement if you dont remember dates you entered cuba/jamaica

Take it easy and relax then if you have submitted this info already. As the RQ was issued due to this concern they will verify this info through their own sources. You will pass it don't worry. Just sit back and relax. I don't think any one can advise any thing else..

Yes she told me that you don't have to order because you've authorized us to request on your behalf. My interview was like for 5 min she told me you've passed verified my personal info and employment and after that verified passport and wasn't sure about stamps and then at that time she said she will take this step to clarify things.
