Agitated, frustrated, paranoid, suicidal, homicidal, apathetic. Those are most of the stages one can go through while being debilitated by CIC.

You are correct, my point was that in both cases rules are similar - no criminal record, presence in CA for certain amount of time, all clearances had to be adequate, etc. But for Citizenship, they just reluctant to do their job properly as they think it's not important for 'every day life' of...

I renewed my PR in 2013, applied for citizenship in a year after that. You my friend are asking right question, why PR is renewed without hesitations but Citizenship is such a pain in the a**? The answer is, if you don't get your PR on time you are not aloud to be the slave for the system any...

St. Clair office is the dead end. FOSS clearance (immigration clearance as far as I know) takes up to one month to clear, and judging from the fact that you have passed your test, they already run this clearance at least one time. (so the question is, what kind of abnormality they can find by...

I'm still with you guys. CIC has not responded to my lawyer's request to finish my application or face the Federal court (not a word from them). Getting into the stage 2 next week.

traffic violation doesn't affect your citizenship application, although the question is, if you know that you did violate traffic law, why the bloody hell you are fighting it in the court ? Pay the fine and get that well deserved demerits, why are you wasting Judge's and policeman's time just...

Advice is not to try to kill two birds with one stone. You choose PhD, you would be better with it somewhere else where it's more valuable. Choose Citizenship, put aside your dream of getting doctorate for another 4-5 years. I don't know what CJ think, but that would probably be one of his/her...

I've done my masters in Germany while PR in Canada, maintained my PR by returning every winter and summer break. Had a chance to stay in Germany for one more year after graduating to work for reputable office in my field, but I chose to come back. Applied for PR renewal in a year - no problems...

Hi Asaif, I'm pretty much in the similar situation (waiting for my oath since June 2015 ). I had same concern about discrimination and prejudices, however at this point I can give you a few advices from my own experience. First, there is no way to request an interview with your CO or anyone...

Strong word? I would even use mental rape or mental torture.

As I recall correctly, CIC's mail is not forward able. So you might get all other mails except CIC's

I think it's an interesting article about requesting ATIP from CSIS. https://www.thestar.com/news/privacy-blog/2015/05/what-happens-when-you-request-your-csis-file.html Obviously it has nothing to do with citizenship, and one shouldn't expect to get information regarding him/herself by...

I already did this, check my other posts.

Don't even mention to them that you have lost these kind of opportunities. They know perfectly well that people will always look for other (obviously better) opportunities in US and the rest of the world.. That's why if you don't have huge mortgage and debt, they will consider you as a flight...

No need to wait for a year, First ask your MP to send the letter to CIC where your file is located, then ask them to contact McCallum. Get one digital ATIP and one scan of your physical application, collect all this docs and answers, and go see the lawyer.

Will keep you posted if there is any kind of movement. Mandamus has a few steps before getting to the court, hope it won't get there and will be settled by CIC before that, in my favour of course.

I've got a ticket for riding my bike without front light, at 3 am. Maybe that's why my application is in limbo ?

Personal info has to be removed in Photoshop as entire ATIP (digital or physical) is raster image. Don't know if someone is willing to doctor at least 25 pages.

Apparently it's just internal move (like one officer giving the file to another officer), they would not put any note in the file (maybe just officer's designated ID#). After going through all my documents, my lawyer didn't find any particular reason for the delay, so I don't understand why...

I got this info from the Call agent, and there was nothing sent from me, my MP or the lawyer to Case Management Branch, I think it's a waste of time. As Call Agent said, there was no date of the transfer so that might have been done 3 days ago or 8 months ago. Digital Atip will show me the...
