    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    I mentioned both of my children in 6G. For son who is 4yo, I wrote the name of the daycare centre he goes to in the field where they ask for "Name of institution". I didn't submit any proof that he is enrolled in a daycare, and that was fine with them too. I think if they need proof, which I...

    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    If you hire a representative, you can mention his address as mailing address. In this case CIC is obliged to send all correspondence to the representative. I have however seen in practice, that CIC contacted the client directly eventhough he had a representative. Not sure whether this...

    Oh wow! Thanks lilua for sharing the link, it brings some hope. I read a thread on this forum from Vancouver applicants where most of them had their test scheduled in about 18 months and then they waited another 3 months for the oath. I'll post a link if i find it.

    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    Hi yuz, I am from Vancouver and have submitted my application in October. From various timeline tables that I've seen here, Vancouver is very slow in processing applications. It takes at least 20 months from start to finish. That being said, I totally agree with sept15 and ramsfe that the...

    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    May I please remind you that citizenship is a privilege, not the right, and it is up to the Canadian government and its citizens (not permanent residents!) to decide who and when can become a citizen. As a permanent resident you can't dictate the maximum processing times. This country has...

    Can we please stick to the subject of this thread? If anyone has an update, please post, otherwise you are just distracting others. You can also create a thread "long processing times" and complain there. Thank you

    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    Hi ramsfe, Employees at call centres are just answering questions based on information they see in the system, they are neither decision makers, nor the ones screening applications. Why put pressure on them? The 2-3 years wait-time is not their fault. You called CIC and found out which date...

    October 2013 Citizenship Applications

    Calling CIC every other day will not help us and will only frustrate CIC employees. I believe a person should call CIC only if there's a problem with his/her application, processing times are longer than usual, etc. There are at least 5 people from September thread who haven't received any...
