July 2020 - Citizenship application

[saik143]

Well, you could check the email you received the TEST invitation from.

I got it from the agent (IRCC Citizenship program assistant). All I am seeing is her "firstname"."lastname" @cic.gc.ca email.

Ah okay, so there are 3 ways to find the processing office in your particular case :

1. Calling IRCC and asking them where your application is being processed
2. Webform inquiry
3. GCMS notes

Lol I'll pass...

HAHA lol. Yeah, that's fine. A large % of Toronto, all of Brampton and all of Mississauga applications are processed in Mississauga office. So, I'll assume your application is in Mississauga.

Thanks.

Look, the people who dont track their application status , application location, etc are getting DM and oath fast. So you are on right track to get your DM and oath fast

Ha ha ha... I do track my application status in both portals (almost everyday) but I accept that I never looked for processing location nor I knew how to find it ... am not sure why my file is progressing faster but if it adds weight - I work for a crown corporation, I am part of nexus trusted traveler and I have both enhanced reliability and secret clearance ...

They should be actually giving preferences to the people working directly/indirectly in govt orgs but with cic they cant/willing to expedite citing misuse etc just to avoid working faster.
Its good that you are already DM. Good luck to get your oath invite soon.

Hi, Did any of you guys apply for urgent processing or know what is needed to apply? my spouse's niece had a tragic accident, and she is in critical condition. Would this be a reason for urgent processing, especially we don't have passports from our home country!

Sorry about your spouse's niece.

I'm not sure if this would qualify for urgent processing UNLESS you are a refugee and you can't get a passport from your home country. If you passport is simply expired and you did not renew it, then IRCC might reject the urgent processing request.

Doesn't hurt to try though.

I am not a refugee; however, my country doesn't issue passports in Canada due to the civil war back home. So technically, I have no passports and can't get one here.

Okay, so explain all this, provide documentation / proof and see if they approve the urgent processing request. You can try but there isn't a guarantee they'll approve it. But please do try and keep us posted.

Thank you!
