Yeah, it's crazy how, with IRCC, when things go smoothly they go veeery smoothly..... but when things go bad, oh boy.... buckle up, cause you are in for a wild ride.

Hi, Natasha, I do not know if you saw this one. I wrote a very lengthy email explaining my situation. Maybe we can get some traction? https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/are-you-facing-long-immigration-wait-times-we-want-to-hear-from-you-1.5880119

Congrats! Yeah, good thing you called. For my test, I got the info 2 days before the window opened (on the tracker it appeared 2 weeks before). Best of luck for May 6th! Would you mind sharing your timeline and office? Thanks! Oh, never mind, just saw it on the tracker... but when did you...

Thank you, I know you are right... It is just super hard to put it into practice. 2021 hit me like a truck in every single aspect of my life and my citizenship application is just one of a million things that have gone sideways. I think I keep obsessing about this stuff cause I feel like I...

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for that.

The new "27 months processing time" is not a service standard. Technically, they still aim to process complete applications within 12 months. For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, they only met this standard for 9% of applications (LOL). The new number is simply descriptive of how long it has been...

Originally in Montreal, but it got transferred to Surrey when I moved to BC (even though I live in Vancouver) I though Ontario offices were calling applicants quickly for their oaths=/

May I ask what office is processing your file?

I feel like i'm losing my mind during this final step.... =/ i know there is nothing else to do but wait (and keep waiting), but when I keep seeing applicants who get invite days after DM while the oldest applications get left behind.... damn, it's difficult to stay chill. I am so looking...

any news these past few days? i feel like I am losing my mind during this final wait ... So many applicants in Vancouver office seem to be getting invite a few weeks after DM... just feeling exhausted from this whole process. :( :(

I know... Thank you for your support. I was very patient at the beginning with the disruptions related to the pandemic, but when it is so blatant how some files get pushed back and others are flown through the system, it is extremely frustrating. I have a potential research work trip to...

well, i finally got a reply to a webform i sent a long time ago asking about the weird physical presence checks on my file. It comes one month after DM, so it is not particularly useful in any way or form since I know the issue was already ressolved. it did however, make me laugh on two...

Congratulations :) best of luck for the road ahead!

Which email? The one for the ceremony? Cause i've always seen that part about not replying unless the application was over 2 years old with the other "general" email (CIC-Surrey@cic.gc.ca ) Having said that, they did not reply anyway to any email i sent between september 2021 and march 2022...

Whoever represents the riding you live in at the moment :) (regardless of the visa office). For instance, I lived in MTL before and for nearly 2 years my application was processed there (even after moving to Vancouver). I now live in Vancouver and my file was transferred to Surrey IRCC office...

You can send an email directly to the MP that appears on the House of Common website (just google your MP's name). Explain your situation in detail and someone from their team will reply and ask you to sign a consent form and they will contact IRCC on your behalf (there is a special client...

Yes, unfortunately, I also got a similar response when my MP's team called IRCC a few weeks ago. May I ask if your MP is Liberal? (I get the feeling that Liberal MPs have less incentive to get into a fight with the current administration). I tried contacting the media. Many stories have been...

When I was asked to submit passport pages (over 6 months ago), the instructions said to "reply to the email" that had contacted me. It was CIC-Surrey@cic.gc.ca I do not know if they still use the same account, and it could be different for various applicants. I suggest you also submit the...

Wow! Once again... your application was super fast. Congrats! Hope it all goes well for the ceremony!

Wow, you would think that 2 years into this pandemic people would have figured out Zoom etiquette hehe, Thanks for the details! At least we know that there is movement and the office is not just sleeping...
