    When would an agent know if your application is being reffered to CJ?

    But in that case wouldn't the agent say "I cannot tell you/look into that info" instead of stating "there is nothing in your file or officers' notes that indicates a cj hearing"? I'm just wondering...

    When would an agent know if your application is being reffered to CJ?

    I am trying to stay calm and wait, but I can't. So one last question regarding the CJ: The agent I spoke to a few weeks ago told me there is nothing that shows that my file is being referred to a CJ. She said once the clearances are done, the next step should be the oath (if nothing is...

    Advice for New PR - Things to keep as evidence for citizenship application

    To answer your questions: 1- Yes. I strongly suggest keeping the original UNLESS they specify to send an original document. 2- Do NOT send documents that they did not ask for.

    Security Clearance?

    From my understanding, it is like a background check that they do. They do three separate ones with three different agencies. in-house means that they are the ones who request it not you. Each one has an expiry date and it all must be valid at the time of the decision. So they can request it...

    Any advice to prepare for a CJ hearing?

    Yes I did. I used the online calculator and the manual form. A year later we requested our ATIP reports and the days were there too as calculated by CIC.

    How long does security clearances take?

    After a little research on the board, turns out that the CSIS clearance details does not show on the ATIP report. So in my case, there can be a result in the report back in 2014 and the clearance expired like the rest. Now we wait for them to run it again. Any one knows how long it usually take...

    How long does security clearances take?

    Why did you need a citizenship judge? did you apply with less days? Also, did they inform you if/when your file went to a judge and did they ask you to come in? Decision made means they either approved or denied your application. The Call Center can tell you which from what I hear. Good luck!
