August 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[matlal]

What is the new system ? you mean the online testing system ? The only new thing i heard is expansion of NS sydney office for processing of spousal applications. And another new thing i see on their website is they are processing applications of 2019 from march 16 to march 23 which is going by weekly. Next would be March 24 to March 30 and then comes Easter on the way , the applications will be delayed by another week so there will be a two week gap. Now considering for August applications it goes to 2 years and the ones that go complex add another 6 months .

@luvtrump I don't have more information than what you have provided here. However the dates on the CIC site is not conclusive as May June and July applications are getting test invites. The new system or new way of working .....is certainly helping. However as said it will take time for the backlog to get cleared up.

What is that new way of system or working even I'm trying to figure that out , do you have anything on it ? If you are referring to test invites for 2020 applications it's because most of them applied online or testing online is no big deal. The real deal starts after the test till oath ceremony , how are they working through that ? It's a mystery that even Sherlock Holmes wont be able to solve.lol

It is strange they mention they are mostly woking on March 2019 applications when we actually see only reports of later applications..

That's probably just for show nonsense... to communicate "we are tackling the backlog so although we keep our average of 1 year processing time, backlog old stuff is no older than 2 years".

Hi all, I received an online test invite this morning. I’m in the KW area. For those who have already passed the test, is there anything that I should know about or get prepared for other than the information in the email?

Nope, it's very straightforward. Just follow the instructions, make sure you get a reliable internet connection, well lit room, working webcam etc. Also make sure you have access to the same email you got the PDF for the invite.

CIC is good for nothing. They are just a burden on tax payers money and blood sucking vampires on desperate people.

They say they are finalizing the application. I would assume, that means DM followed by an oath invite, so I think the status is right.

nop they are just filtering out the complex applications. If they were finalizing applications according to their website then 2020 applications would not be getting DMs or Test invites so quick .
