Good news
My friend and his wife just got a letter to do their OATH on May 9th. They both had an RQ on March 2013 and went for an interview at St. Clair on March 13, 2014 to review their files.
If only 20 of us would gather and stand in front of a CIC office, media will come and our voice will be heard. Forget about call center or posting in a forum.
UPDATE: Receieved a letter today to write a test on March 31 at St. Clair office.
Timeline

File...
If your security clearance (From ATIP files) is not yet expired you will get test invitation before the expiry date. My security clearance will expire in March so I will write my test before that. I spoke with a CIC agent regarding this.
Just got my ATIP file and there is no mention about the reason of RQ. It shows that I have passed all the checks and also my file was moved from Mississauga to St. Clair on May 2013.
Anyone still waiting for an update since they got RQ?. I sent back my RQ package on late March this year. Nothing so far. Application applied May, 2012.
I know at least 10 people who traveled before and after applying including my relatives and got their citizenship without RQ. This make the above statement false.
I bet if they will find anything different in my RQ support documents than the original application. I'm not going to check the status anymore, nor even calling them. I will just wait and will get it. PR all the waaay for now. :D
