Hi Bambino, CIC isn't really interested on the medical reasoning behind your healthcare visits, only the fact you did visit the facilities. Its only one check of many I wouldn't worry about it if you didn't visit too many. Also, it really is just a waiting game, nothing personal. I wouldn't...

Hi 2c, Patience is your friend at this stage, you are still just over a year into this and it looks like you did not provide all the necessary information CIC has been requesting right of the start. CIC will always say that if you don't provide all the documents this may delay your application...

Hi everyone.. As you may recall I'm one of the more senior applicants, having submitted my application for Citizenship in May 2011. I was invited to take the test on September 8 and passed! The officer at the counter asked me the standard questions and "thanked" me for sending a lot of...

Hi all, First off apologies if this topic has been addressed earlier. I submitted an application to sponsor my parents in 2010 and received a letter today from CIC informing me that they are now ready to begin processing the application. The application was initially made out for my parents...

Well really not much to add from my previous post. Submitted application on may 2011, after having been resident exactly 1095 days (probably a mistake in hindsight) and heard absolutley nothing until Feb 2014 when i received an rq. Competley unfair in my opinion because if they were gonna rq me...

I haven't been invited to write the test yet :'(

Hi guys sorry to be a downer but i applied in may 2011, went out of the country a few times and informed cic. I got my rq in Feb 2014, sent it back in end of March 2014. I am baffled as to why my application has taken this long. What should i do? Cic is not very helpful on the phone. Thx J

Always on almost a weekly basis.. I was able to source all the documents and will be submitting my RQ tomorrow. I guess I will be following in a couple of weeks to see what time line I should be expecting

Hey guys, yes, I also got an RQ. However I submitted my application in May 2011. Hopefully this doesn't mean 4 more years of waiting :o

Really good news, and hopefully rubs off on the rest of us. I sent my application in May 2011 and received an RQ last month, submitting all documents this week. Here's hoping!

Hi all, 32 months and counting since I applied for citizenship in Edmonton. I have been advised by the CIC call Centre that I am now in queue for a Citizenship Examination. I was also advised by a staff member of my MLA of the same news, however, she did say I may be at risk of receiving an RQ...

You can try the call centre and check online a few days later to ensure that it has been updated. 1-888-242-2100 Hit 1 then 2 then 4

My Edmonton MP's office just notified me that all my security checks cleared.. But guess what? My RCMP clearance expired yesterday. They anticipate setting my citizenship test date for March 2014. I sent in my citizenship application in May 2011 :o

Hi all, Does anyone have info on central/south american countries that allow travel without a visa if you possess a valid PR card? My current home passport requires me to apply for a visa pretty much all over the world, which usually takes a month or two in processing, and i would like to book...

Thank Canuto, I went to see my MP this morning and they promised to let me know in a couple of days. I don't know what I didn't do this earlier, Laurie Hawn's staff was very friendly and I would recommend anyone who is in Edmonton Centre constituency to pay his office a visit. I should have an...

Congrats Mr Lonley.. we have such similar timelines I have no idea why mine is taking so much longer. I doubt you are still using this forum now that your cermony is tomorrow :D

Onyex.. I am curious as how you got CIC to give you that information. I have not been successful any getting info from them. My timeline is absolutely horrendous.. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 12, 2011. We sent you a letter acknowledging...

Ughhhh I'm still waiting for the test date. I sent in my application in May 2011 and the file was transferred to Edmonton on Jan 2012. I finally convinced the call centre to set me up with an appointment with CIC Edmonton. Apparently it takes 3 months to hear back!! :-X :-X :-X

Thanks guys, No response from the MP and I am now considering involving an immigration lawyer. The CIC has no formal basis to deem my application as non-routine, they at least have not come out and said it, and therefore think I may benefit from involving a lawyer. Please note that to date I...

Hi all, Still waiting on my Citizenship Application in Edmonton, have submitted my application in May 2011. The last I spoke to an agent, they advised me that my application is considered non-routine because I twice advised CIC that I was going to be away from Canada for a period of 3 weeks...
