Sorry, for my understanding, could you please advise what does "ME" and "OP" stand for. Thanks!

Hi dpenabill, My CIT 0039 form doesn't require me to declare whether I was in a different country for more than 183 days. This form focuses on the prohibitions just like the one that I submitted for the citizenship application. With regard to your question on what I have compared the CIT 0039...

Hi Sam, My e-cas shows the same as well. I believe it is for all those whose oath ceremony is scheduled on weekends. Looks like CIC is clearing backlogs at this time. Thanks. Regards, IN888658S

Rationally, that seems to be the most likely outcome, bubbelbine ;)

Congratulations lilbabu!

Hi dpenabill, I received the Notice to appear for the oath ceremony today. There is a notice page in the letter that talks about changes to the Citizenship Act, Section 22, effective June 11, 2015. This is in addition to the prohibitions (conditions) CIT 0039 form that has a set of 14...

Thanks Nainarvet!

And my status has changed to "Decision Made" today. It seems that there is a couple of days lag in status change from "in progress" to "Decision Made" in E-Cas, when CIC determines that the applicant is ready for attending the oath ceremony. Thank you. Regards, IN888658S

Thank you dpenabill!

Hi neutral, Nope, I confirmed with the CIC officer who called me and later checked on the site for oath ceremony dates. June 12th oath ceremony was not cancelled for everyone. It was cancelled for me for the reason, as per the CIC officer - "additional information". Thanks. Regards, IN888658S

Hi dpenabill, Thank you, much appreciated. I don't clearly understand the root cause of the delay - It could be due to several reasons. It could be related to the bill, where CIC was proceeding with caution. Or perhaps, what might have come into play is my extended family providing my...

Thank you Sam and Mr. Jordan!

Thank you for tolerating me over the weekend! :)

Hi neutral, dpenabill, It is hard to believe but it is true. The e-cas system was updated just today, and it mentioned that they have sent the notice to appear letter yesterday (Jul 11) for me to appear for the oath ceremony. My revised oath ceremony is on Saturday, Aug 22, 2015. There is a...

Hi Sam, It is hard to believe but it is true. the e-cas system was updated just today, and it mentioned that they have sent the notice to appear letter yesterday (Jul 11) for me to appear for the oath ceremony. My revised oath ceremony is on Saturday, Aug 22, 2015. There is a foot note in my...

Hi neutral, Sure, If it is indeed the FBI checks for the the US, then we know that they are going to be delayed. As per their site : https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks What is puzzling for me though, is the fingerprints are required for FBI Identity History...

Hi neutral, I hope so as well. But, the Bill C-24 timing and the fact that CIC has been mandated to do prohibitions checks for 4 years from the date of the application might indicate that they may not have done these checks earlier. Again, this is my speculation - there is nothing else that...

Thanks Sam, I have just done so. Hoping that they respond to my personal emails or to this discussion forum. Regards, IN888658S

Hi dpenabill, Just so that I understand this clearly, you implied that in-process applicants will receive some kind of form request (before their oath ceremony? during the oath ceremony?) from CIC to sign a form based on this Bill. The content of this form could gave details that would pertain...

Hi dpenabill, Thank you for your detailed note. This makes perfect sense. The delay could be attributed to CIC doing additional checks for the additional year due to the bill coming into effect on June 11, 2015. This is true in my case as I did live and work in the US for more than 183 days in...
