October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule
- Thread starter HamiltonApplicant
- Start date
Hi everyone, my application was sent on October 17th, received on 23rd. I just checked my ECAS ( which is part of my daily routine) and it shows " We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 23, 2017." It's a big relief... however I have not received an email yet. Any thoughts or similar cases ? Thank you !
1 pmMy Ecas says IP haven’t change but I received the email around 1m today
Hello Everybody,
I received a letter today in my mail (not e-mail) with a subject line "QUALITY ASSURANCE EXERCISE AND REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE".
The first paragraph of the letter reads as below
Dear XXX
Your application was randomly selected for a special review exercise in connection with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's (IRCC) Quality Assurance Program. This review is part of the ongoing activities IRCC undertakes in order to maintain the Canadian public's confidence in the integrity of the citizenship grant program.
There are five enclosed forms to be filled and returned within 60 days.
Form 1. A physical presence questionnaire
Form 2. A list of required documents
Form 3. A letter requesting fingerprints*
Form 4. A form requesting a reference
Form 5. A consent form (History of arrivals and departures in USA)
I just glanced over the five page long Form 1 which needs a lot of documents (residential, employment, health, out-of-Canada travel records) from the last five years. This is causing me a lot of stress - I need to gather all my apartment lease agreements, letters from landlords, letters from previous employers, etc etc.
Has anyone received such a letter? The letter is dated the same day as In-Process on ecas. Am the only unfortunate one to be picked for this Quality Assurance Exercise??

There are many threads about the this QA associated questionnaire. Have you been regularly traveling to the US ?
I will search those threads. Not really, I have traveled only three times to US. But, before my eligibility period (last 5 years) I worked in US for 2 years.
Wow it’s stressful.. sorry to hear that .. hope I don’t get ... a question.. what is the date on the letter and when didn’t you receive it??
A continually increasing number of others have reported receiving this, or at least something very similar (most of the reports are not as detailed as yours).
Such reports are posted in multiple threads where the PPQ-QAE (Physical Presence Questionnaire - Quality Assurance Exercise) is being discussed, including:
"RQ versus Physical Presence Questionnaires, including CIT 0205" started by me
"Randomly selected for quality assurance" started by @Romans8:28
"Residency Questionnaire" started by @omerhaha
I will probably soon offer further comments about this process in the "RQ versus Physical Presence Questionnaires, including CIT 0205" thread.
Hello, just curious, when you click on "In Process" on ECAS, does it show any indication that an RQ/QA correspondence was sent to you ? Or does it only show that your file has started processing ? Thanks and good luck
