I wish you guys spoke Portuguese so I could say exactly what comes to my mind when they say they are processing in FIFO.

I speak Spanish and understand Portuguese so go ahead

I would suggest to start using the complaint feedback form. Say everything negative to them. At the end these complaints must be read by some neutral party (I hope) so IRCC can be held accountable.

Hey done that as well I have submitted about 3-4 complaints already

Hello friends I am applying for citizenship and as they have this requirement that if you have lived more than 183 days outside Canada you need to attach police clearance certificate (pcc) of that country too and I have spent more than 183 days in Pakistan and now I am trying to get the certificate from my country and it will take around 2 to 3 months however I need advice from you guys should I submit my application without the certificate and once I will receive the pcc I will send it to immigration or should I wait for the certificate to get it and apply after? Please advice
Thanks!

I don't know what else we can do. I have done it all, too, with no use

I think you have to submit all the documents they require or your application may be considered incomplete. But I’m just guessing here.

The email I sent that I think had some effect was when I asked them if there was a glitch in the system that caused my application to get stuck. Because I couldn’t see any other reason for all the delays. But it might have been the person who read it that really cared, I don’t know.

It might be the latter, that's why I send multiple webforms/complaints hoping someone will forward my messages to someone with executive decision making privileges. I believe the agent who reads the messages decides whether to forward a message or not. As for the email, unfortunately, the Montreal office, where my file is collecting dust, doesn't respond to emails, not like Mis office.

Out of curiosity, did you use the test email or there is another email you used to email your local office?

You must apply complete application.

Now it’s official. Certificates arrived today, 12 days after the oath, one week after status changed to close.
I know it’s hard to believe, but you’ll get yours too.

Nice. Was your certificate mailed out from the local office?

Out of curiosity, did you use the test email or there is another email you used to email your local office?

I used 2. One was the test or interview one, and the other email someone gave me in this forum, for Mississauga office. But I believe the first one was the one that worked given the timeline.

Nice. Was your certificate mailed out from the local office?

Yes, the sender is the local office.

 

[wstrn24]

Yes, the sender is the local office.

Nice. Hopefully I will get mine next week.

My advise is that wait for pcc and apply...otherwise they may return your application after months stating that it's incomplete....

Another waiting game begins….

True!!!!!
