Hi, I've one question. I did flag polling on Rainbow bridge for PR Purpose. Do I had to put that entry and exit while putting details in Online Calculator? I had more than enough days for eligibility but still worrying if they think I've not given correct information matching with CBSA report they might pull in. I'm from May applications but checking if any one did same like me and still got AOR and further processing.I'm kind of worried. Please advise.

How long does it take to receive test date after finger prints have been received?

For my citizenship application, I received fingerprint request on May 7th and I gave fingerprints on May 15th. My friend received the fingerprint results on my behalf as I am out of Canada for next few weeks.

1) Should the results be mailed to the Citizenship office which sent me the fingerprints request (in my case it is Milner Avenue, Scarborough) ? Or is it the case processing centre in Sydney?

2) Do you know how RCMP comes up with the File number (DCN) on the fingerprint results? It does not match with my Citizenship Application Number

So after about 5 calls to the CIC and getting a non dial tone I finally got back into the queues again. 6 minutes going around in circles did finally, this time, get me into a 27 minute queue. It was about a 20 min wait and the agent confirmed all my details and confirmed it was all okay. Apparently it takes a few days to "put it into the system" which was done 5/22.

Incidentally, I also noted this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1169&top=5

So all of us with a FP request are non-routine and can expect > 12 months processing time? :eek::(

To be honest, I could cope with a longer time if it was really needed, it's the lack of updates and the fact that I have to spend 30 mins on the phone to confirm what I've done :rolleyes:

No-one knows. No-one from Jan who got a FP request has yet had a test date and at least two of us that I've seen had our FP in system > week ago. Will it take 1 month, 2, 3, 6 dunno.

Now, I looked back at the 2018 sheet and see in December a FP from March 28 (request/submit?) got test in 14 June so 2.5 months... Rest are waiting. In November there's a Feb 5->Apr 30th which is almost 3 months. And in all cases, most people still waiting. When you get back to July/August the numbers improve so realistically I'd predict most likely is 3 to 6 months but people can wait much much longer.

Just checked ECAS Status changed to Decision Made (sometime in the last week)
Congrats.

If you did actually flag pole doesn't that mean you didn't actually leave the country? You get any stamps in passport? From my personal perspective I left (entered US) and then re-entered Canada; so I did list this. But mine was more complicated because I was actually in four different countries on my entry day ;) So I just listed everything in the box.

Test Invite date: May 24, 2019
Test Interview date: June 13, 2019.

We are family applicants (my wife, my 9 years old son and I ). My wife and I got the invitation for the test, but my son (9 years old) did not get any invitation. Is it normal or expected? Do I need to take my son with us?

Thanks

Yes, I left but no stamp from US side as it was only for landing purpose. I do have a stamp for landing. I got response from other threads that this should be fine if we have left country just for flag polling. Hoping that will com true.. Thank you for responding :)
