Surrey BC IRCC - How fast they are in dealing with citizenship applications?

[scorph]

Hello friends,

Just a question regarding Surrey BC IRCC pace in handling citizenship applications. Any idea of how fast they are vs IRCCs in other provinces?
I applied for citizenship on
August 18 2017
Received AOR on September 18, 2017
IP: October 3, 2017
Since then no news from IRCC regarding Test invite.

I live in Abbotsford BC so, I'm assuming that my application is being handled by Surrey BC IRCC.

Kindly share if you have any experience with Surrey BC IRCC regarding their pace in dealing with citizenship application.

Does all of BC get processed in Surrey?

Of course, no!
There is Vancouver IRCC as well!

Of course, no!
There is Vancouver IRCC as well!

And I live on the banks of the river separating the two.
I wonder where our apps will land

Hello Sixteen,
I have now received my test invite scheduled on February 22, 2018 at Surrey IRCC Office.
Can you please share your citizenship test and INTERVIEW experience?

Anyone else on this forum who attended the same Surrey IRCC office for citizenship test and interview, I’d great appreciate if hearing your experience.

Thanks very much in advance!

That was quite fast. Congrats on your new citizenship. About my mom's case, her application was submitted and received in November 2017, and it has been in IP status since Feb 14, 2018 and no update received since then.
