Good luck to everyone! its been a long journey after 8 years in Canada:
Applied: 12th April 2018
AOR: May 29th 2018
In Process: July 12th 2018
File moved from Mississauga to Scarborough: May 24th 2019
Test: September 4th 2019.
Oath: September 5th 2019.

Thanks for sharing this and congrats!!

Can you please tell me if they are going to check every single stamp on your passport? or only the one that I have reported in my application?

my expired passport is very old and some of the stamps are totally faded not sure if this is going to be an issue...

Hi, thank you very much!

In my case, the lady just checked the stamps on my passport within my Eligibility Period which was shown on my Online Presence Calculator printout. I think this totally makes sense and I feel like there is no need for them to check anything beyond your Eligibility Period. If I were you, I would try my best to make sure those stamps are clear to be read and/or if you have any other evidence, such as boarding pass for your trip, air tickets which showed your entry/exit date, that would be very helpful in case your stamps are not quite clear.

Good luck to you and everyone else on this forum!

Hi All
I just want to check again with you about my case to have your idea.
I am a March 2018 applicant.
I passed the test on April 2019 and I am still waiting to see the change on my status from In process to decision made but It is not happened.
17 months is a normal processing time?
Should I talk with my MP or should call them again?
Sometimes I think they forgot me.

I am Nov'18 applicant from Etobicoke but my file went to Missisauga office . Is there a way to change the file from Missisauga to Scarborough without change in my address and is it worth a try in terms of getting Citizenship faster !

You can send Webform saying your address has changed to Scarborough and would like processing to happen in Scarborough. You can also call CIC and tell them same so they can put transfer of Office on your file.

Things to be done:
1) Apply GCMS notes and check if Security and Background checks are done
2) Contact IRCC through Webform and present the cover letter in webform with detailed explanation with App received date to test date.
3) Contact Local MP so they can call CIC to check on your application.

They don’t change office within GTA

I was told by CIC customer service they would transfer file if I can do a webform and show proof for change of address.

All Etobicock applications are transferred to Mississauga.
I am and my friends also from Etobicock and our files are went to Mississauga office.

You can’t do anything. I think so.

Yes you have to change address in all government documents.

What is the timeline from Fingerprint to Test invitation for Mississauga and Scarborough offices?

Well policy guidelines of IRCC available publicly clearly says no transfer within GTA even if address changes. They only transfer for address change when the move is considerably far away from original address. Also i tried changing it myself by involving MP and they even told her that they dont do transfers
