May 2018 - Citizenship Applicants

[jangotrick]

I called the cic office today and inquired about my oath status and he told me I’m not even in que yet for the oath invitation so for all those who are did their test in November sit tight because we will get invitation in February

As new oath dates start coming up after 6th Feb, I am pretty sure you will start getting your oath dates.

Mine is still in process too, maybe they requested my records because I cross by car, and in this case there is no stamp....

I’d understand if we made frequent trips, but we went on a total of just 3 international trips in last 5 years. Only one of them was when he was a PR. This is basically because of just one missing stamp. Passport was stamped entering Mexico, but not upon reentry to Canada. If I knew just one missing stamp would cause delay I’d have requested one.

Yes, you need to frequently check your application status on ECAS. After that, if it shows "In Process", please call CIC agent and ask what is the status of your file.

Hi Jangotrick,

Only for AOR, test and Oath dates, you will get an email.Sometimes, the email can be delayed, so it is a good practice to check your ECAS every other day.

Use your application number on AOR or UID on PR Card.

My worst nightmare just became a reality. I applied in May, 2018, got my AOR in July, 2018, and it changed to 'In Progress' in August 2018.
I've been regularly checking my application online until a few days ago when it disappeared and I was no longer able to check my status. My gut feeling told me something is wrong and I called CIC this morning...

SO! My application was deemed ineligible and rejected, case closed, and they sent me a letter/package with my documents back to me (though I still haven't received it yet). They also refunded me my application fee (but I haven't received it either).

REASON: Not enough days of physical presence in Canada - apparently I made a mistake in my calculation. I will find out what the mistake is once I get that letter - not exactly sure what happened given that I paid extra to the immigrant consultant who audited my application and said it was perfect! It's actually funny as I clearly remember him saying it was perfect. Apparently, it's not!

BUT - the biggest concern of mine is that not only they accepted my application at Nova Scotia and sent me an AOR, but that they actually forwarded my case to my city. They started working on it in August and they WAITED until January to tell me that there was something wrong with my application. It's overwhelmingly shocking. The CIC agent felt really bad for me and confirmed it was a human error on their end and they should have returned to me back in July so that I could've re-applied. He said I'm sorry, but I can't help you - it's the officer's decision. And I understand that.
I am extremely upset and disappointed, to say the least. But my biggest concern is not that I have to apply from scratch and wait for another year or so, but the fact that they confirmed it was their mistake. So I have a question for you, my friends, just to see if there is any suggestion you might have.

The CIC agent felt bad for me over the phone this morning and strongly encouraged me to re-apply from scratch (because now I'm clearly eligible based on my presence in Canada since last May) but urgently (through urgent processing). He briefly described the procedure, told me to mark my envelope accordingly and write a letter of explanation stating that I waited for so long because of the CIC's mistake, explain the situation, attach my old case # as evidence and tell them it went to 'processing' instead of being sent to me right away when they should have discovered a discrepancy. But I just read their definition of 'emergency' and clear my case is rather an exception and very different from the real emergencies, but I am wondering if I should still give it a try and apply 'urgently'. Any suggestions/ideas? Do you think it's a worth a try?

Many thanks,
D

As it has happened.
As a fresh approach plaease try a lawyer/ consultant ,
not as if like doubting to do it yourself,
just to avoid any questionnaire and un necessary communication in future which can bring in more time delays.
One can always go for urgent processing if there is genuine reason.
