April 2019 applications

[vitoriaboy]

Hi guys,

This forum really helped me during my application so I thought I would share my timeline too. I did end up requesting for urgent processing which was granted so it was much faster than regular application, less than four months.

Location: Surrey BC
Physical presence: 1633
App type: single

Received: Apr 23 2019
Acknowledgement: Jul 4 2019
Urgent processing request: Jul 12 2019
Urgent processing request read receipt from IRCC: Jul 23 2019 (no decision was made at this point, it was simply forwarded to the appropriate department)
Urgent processing decision: Aug 8 2019 (approved)
Citizenship test: Aug 15 2019 (passed) -> since mine was urgent processing, I got my results immediately. The citizenship officer only asked for my passports to verify my physical presence calculator and that was it.
Ceremony: Aug 19 2019

Congratulations ! That is great news. Very happy for you. Could you please tell us what was your reason for requesting urgency?

Thank you for your help.

Hi thank you for the well wishes. I explained in a letter have to be out of Canada for an extended period of time starting this Fall for at least two years with little to no chance of flying back for the test/ceremony (I also provided proof of this situation), and also mentioned that by the time I am back, I would not have enough days to renew my PR card either. That was basically it!

Let me know if you have more questions! Cheers

Wow. That is quite amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience. Can you please tell what was your reason for going out of Canada? Was it to study for a course or to take up a job or were you moving for family reasons? And what proof did you send them? Your answers are very helpful to me and others on this forum. Much appreciated !

Hi everyone,


I have a question. I am a march 2019 applicant and something weird happened to my application.


I got 4 different acknowledgment please explain.

1) Application delivered 08th march 2019

2) AOR 08th May 2019

3) Address change request updated 08th June 2019

4) In process ecas status updated and rep on file updated18th July 2019.


I have a wedding coming in December ( out of country for whole month cant be avoided ) and my job contract is coming to an end in September.

I am planning to leave the country to move with my husband ( he is Canadian pr + USA h1b holder) to USA.

Since my application is already in process and it can take long time till I get my test invite.


Questions


1) do I have to inform cic if I plan to leave the country for 3 months from October to December = will it affect the decision of granting citizenship.


2) my pr card is expiring next may 2020 what happens if I dont get my test invite till then


3) I stayed back 3 yrs away from my husband just to get citizenship and move to USA.. so if I move in October 2019 to USA, would that affect my application being getting refused or abandoned.

4) my travel history is almost 200 days in previous 5 yrs and iys all to USA as I kept visiting my husband.


My only worry is what if I move out of country for more than 4 to 5 months and cic feels I m not planning to reside here after granted citizenship and they cause me rejection or so.



Please advise any thoughts will be highly appreciated.


Thanks

I am still waiting since early July. I was assigned Hamilton office which I thought was a good thing but it seems to be as slow as all other offices in GTA.

Hamilton is one of the slowest in the GTA, actually. I applied July 6, 2018 and still waiting for test invite, whereas many July 2018 applicants at the Mississauga and Scarborough offices have received test invites or already taken their tests.
