Well, but we have to be fair. There are a lot of factors that would eventually dictate your application processing time including: 1. applicant's (your) background (this will have a direct impact on the background check processing time) 2. Office location (whether or not overloaded with tons of...

Remember, he's still faster than many others including me :)

Well, my point was rather to the previous week.

Can i ask you which office is processing your app?

Since last week, no Jan-Mar applicant reported any test invite from Mississauga office! mmm, interesting!!

No! The only thing you need to take care of is that there will be a gap from the passport expiry date to the date she will apply for citizenship; in this case, she needs to make sure to write down a reason for the gap in the application (Q14 Table B) which would be simply: "no plans for offshore...

My guts feeling: If you told them you applied in Jan, they would have told you they are currently processing Dec applications. I don't buy this. There are many Feb and March Toronto applicants (whose processing office is in Mississauga) and already got the invite (or even completed their test)...

There are quite many Mississauga applicants who applied few months before you and still didn't receive any test invite. That's quite normal with Mississauga office.

it's completely normal; minors don't get decision made on their ECAS.

I already crossed the 240 days :). This average is misleading as it doesn't count those who still didn't receive the invite; those are the majority for Mississauga office (at least for March applicants & beyond).

FP request is not related to the office, rather to the applicant. So, No! not every one gets FP request. I applied same time as hisharm, with no FP request, and still didn't get my test invite. so, FP request doesn't really have to delay the process; some might even argue the opposite :)

Congrats, which office, scarborough or mississauga?

Congrats. Yes, some tests are scheduled on Saturdays; that's pretty normal. May I ask what's your location?

Congrats, where do you have your test?

Yes, given the observation we have from this forum, Mississauga office, is very much lagging behind other offices. I'm in process before you and still waiting for test invite as well. Many Jan and Feb active applicants in this forum haven't yet received their invite from Mississauga.

only with hundreds others :)

do you know if the office processing your application is Mississauga or Scarborough?

It's a matter of backlog. Many of my Lebanese friends got their citizenship in less than 8 months before the backlog started building up. Now, most applicants in GTA, especially Mississauga, are suffering from delays. All my Mississauga friends who applied in Feb and March last year, including...

I don't see how he was rude or arrogant in anyway; he just addressed the question! i'm from one of these countries and i didn't feel offended.

Makes sense; i would have been surprised if it were Mississauga. Congrats again :)
