Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

[msamoh]

Just a query about FP Request. I have submitted my fingerprints digitally. Will i get a confirmation from CIC that they have received it?

No

Send them a webform inquiry they normally reply back in 48 hours.

Very wise suggestion!

glad it will be over for you in 2 months. Good luck with your application.

Good morning my friend,
It could upto 3 months; based on 5 PR CARD renewal applicants I had checked with. If you have relevant documentation, then you could ask for urgent processing. You would only require your card if you have to travel.

Why some applicants take longer than other?
Majority of the people live outside of Canada after becoming a resident and only come back to Canada when they have to make up the days to retain their residency; this behaviour creates chaos and others, delays.

Thank you

I feel ircc will definitely increase average processing time to 13/14 months in the next 2 months. There is no way they can process Mississauga October 2017 backlog before end of October 2018.

 

[Jayson]

What’s the rationale?

@mumbai1985 @Jayson

How about starting an online petition in regards to slow processing of applications at Mississauga office.

Mate, how do we justify that processing is slow when it’s within the 12 month window?

We can't.
But relative to other offices, it's slow.

Don't they share load with less busier offices?

why would they do that; they know they have 12 months to process every case. Majority of the people have been told it’s within the processing time and people don’t want to accept that answer. There are enough reasons to be happy, we have a choice to drop this issue but no; unnecessary stress.

If other provinces and cities are getting less applicants, certainly they have lesser work load.

There are people like you, me, Mumbai and many more who have paid taxes and done enough to send that file in for processing and there are those who have had gaps in employment, travelled a lot, after 15 years of living here determined citizenship is a great idea and they have sent the files in too.. and now none of those are in order and needs further investigation.. in depth analysis.. an officer will take his time and SOME of us have to wait a little longer not FOREVER.

My observation- The moment someone gets a test invite or oath invite, most people get upset and go in that dark isolated corner and start to feel sorry for themselves.

This could also be true that they are doing work permits for refugees and asylum seekers to get them to work while their cases are looked at.

My analogy: If someone is running a 100m race and if s/he has run 20m in 9 seconds, it's almost impossible for that person to finish 100m in 10 seconds.

I hope I'm wrong and all of our applications are processed before October 2018.

Mate, you are not wrong; the truth is, that we don’t have the facts. We mostly read stuff on the forums through other applicants experiences. The processing procedure has always been inconsistent and maybe the law of attraction doesn’t work well when pages are getting flipped at IRCC offices. All I care for while we wait is for everyone to be happy, relaxed and live. Everyday gone brings us closer to the judgement day.

The depressing thing, is that when you go into other threads with a title after October in other places, you know for sure that applicants there already got their citizenship or are about to get it. It's only dreadful Mississauga that's always behind.

 

[Jayson]

You are not alone....

What I have noticed with Mississauga office whenever you get test invite normally oath invite is close behind I remember a couple of months back applicants was getting oath invite the same day they did their test interview.
