If it's anything like London, the system is severely delayed. I guess they're working through a metric fuck-ton of applications now. Just remember that the spreadsheet we have is a very small amount of the applications they receive. That being said though, they really need to do something about...

How far along in advance did you know you were going to travel? You should ALWAYS tell the IRCC about any travel plans you may have so they can schedule anything they need to accordingly. Despite some niche opinions, the government doesn't know everything!

Congrats cheerup! Now it's time to celebrate!

So after 8 months and more, I decided to send a webform inquiry as to why the hell things were taking so long. I only got a canned response that my application is with the London office, they'll let me know if they need documents, yaddah yaddah. I just thought I'd mention this just in case...

The underlined is why you were denied citizenship. If you had applied prior to 2009, you would have received it. But as you didn't, you are not eligible for it now. (unless there's some stuff you're not mentioning, but even then, it's pretty black and white. Here are the exceptions to the...

Got a response from my webform inquiry. So essentially I got a canned response. What makes this entire thing worse is that I've been here in Canada for the past 13 years, so it's not like I don't meet the requirements.

I think you should call as soon as possible and explain the situation to someone; if they direct you to the webform again, just say you already filled one out and because of the deadline, you were concerned it wouldn't be addressed in time. How far in advance did you know about your travel...

I never got a call from an agent or anything- my application just went right into process May 1st of this year and hasn't changed since. Be prepared for a really long wait for processing, especially if you're in Ontario.

I just sent them a webform inquiry. If I hear nothing back after 10 business days, I'm giving them a call. I figure by this point the application will go over the processing time if they don't get the test invite to me by the end of the month; that's assuming it takes 3 months or more to receive...

Oh hi abedi555!

Then there is nothing you can do but wait. Those are really the only options you have at this time. It sucks, I know; I'm almost in the same boat as you, but not quite that severely.

I'd give it a bit longer, but no more than another month. Then contact IRCC again and tell them you can submit the application again because you feel it has been lost, but only if they waive the fees. Another way to go about it is to get a writ of mandamus going; basically forcing them to look...

100% agree with what dpendabill said. Remembering they are asking you to go through the trouble to list where you worked so it fills in a lot of gaps for IRCC, mainly evidence gaps.

When was the last time you talked to any of them? Keep calling, every single day if you have to. Tell them that you've done everything you can, so now it's up to them to do something about it. Ask if you should just re-apply and if you do so, if they'll waive the citizenship applications fees-...

Have you called IRCC? Because that's 2 months past the normal processing time. If they won't tell you anything, contact your local MP and get them to grease the wheels a bit.

I've lived here as a permanent resident for 11 years, I think I can wait a little longer. To be honest, I think I'm just in a queue to get the invite, so nothing can really be done about it. If IRCC dropped everything for every single impatient person who demanded things, things would go even...

I'm one of the two Feb applicants for London. You're correct- the only listed January applicant got their test invite November 1st. I have not received my test invite yet, but I have been checking daily. The London office is either really slow or understaffed; probably understaffed. I don't know...

Updated. Update was already done, but way to go and good luck! Update already done! Good luck! Hey, be glad you even did the test! I've been in process since May 1st and I STILL haven't gotten the test invite. You're almost there, just be patient a little longer!

I believe the date your TFW is expired is the day you became a PR. It would make no sense to hold both; it's like having PR status and Citizenship- you can have one or the other, but not both.

Updated, thanks!
