October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[Margiela]

Hi guys,

I called the CIC yesterday requesting an update on my case since it has been exactly a year. The CIC agent advised me that she is going to follow up with the Vancouver office to find out what holds back. Today the Vancouver office sent me an email saying that my citizenship test and ceremony will take place on November 16th on the same day. Finally the process is coming to the end.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Trying to call them for one year has passed. They won't even transfer me due to a higher volume of calls.

What's the best time to call on Mondays?

I though they open at 8 am?

But when you call 10 -15 min before that they will put you in their queue

After waiting for over 1 year, I contacted my MP. MP's office got a reply saying that application is non-routine. Please see the reply below and advise what are my options:

· The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on October 11, 2017.
· The application was considered complete and an acknowledgement letter was emailed to the applicant at XXXX@gmail.com on November 8, 2017.

· The application was considered non-routine due to the following reason(s):
o the criminality verifications are under review and there is no specific time frame for their completion.

· The criminality verifications are in process.
· The security verifications are currently valid.
· The immigration verifications have not been initiated.

Because the application is non-routine, there is no specific processing times to finalize it. Rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure efficient processing of the application.

Quick question. How can they have received your application on October 11th, when the form was only made public on the 11th? Do you live in Nova Scotia and delivered it yourself? Sorry, I'm not following your status, but something that just popped out at me reading this post.

Maybe they were eligible under the old C-24 rules.

That's what I was thinking, so they might have thought this post was about apps delivered on Oct 11th and not for the new rules under C6.

I actually applied under old rules, using old forms. But CIC mentioned that they will be processing my Application under new rules.
