Hi ,
Want to be part of this group. This is for my in-laws citizenship. Following is the detail of it. Please update the spreadsheet for me.
2 Person and from Toronto
Application received: Sept. 9,2020
AOR by email: Dec. 3, 2020
Started processing: Feb. 8, 2021
Question: The AOR letter mentioned that 18-54. need to write a test and gave the guide link, however my in-laws are over 55. Why did they mentioned this in their AOR? I know these are generic letters but I thought they should know this as they addressed the letter by the name.
There are 3 lines in ECAS below:
- I believe that is generic like you mentioned, when the application reaches the local office after checks the knowledge requirement will be waived for seniors.
- We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 9, 2020.
- We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 3, 2020.
- We started processing your application on February 8, 2021.
Also, why the cic website shows that they are finalizing most applications they received between March 17 and 23, 2019.
If that is the case then, people are on this group who applied in Aug. 2020, their applications will be finalized end of this year.
- Most likely yes, that is what the current time line looks like as of now.
It also greatly depends on the workload of your local visa office. Centres like Scarborough and Brampton have sole of the highest volume of applications in Ontario and their processing times were relatively slower even pre-pandemic. Hopefully it comes sooner. Fingers Crossed.
What do you think?
Thanks
