Here is just a general guideline for April 2015 (just a month and a half before the switch) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d5xYHj_QML5EznRlBfgikWLwBblfML2M7xZUtIYouMs/htmlview?pli=1 However there is a big difference as you know between then and now with regards to the fact that the...

There are at least 3 security and background checks 1. CSIS 2. RCMP 3. International Usually CIC considers valid a security check if it's done by a request of CIC NO MORE than a year old. Some of the above checks are started at Sydney and they have to be all valid until the Oath. If any of these...

The lack of staffing and citizenship judges are the main contributors for the current average of 6 months of processing times. Once the flood gate is opened there will be two main bottlenecks 1. In Sydney 2. Waiting for the Oath ( since the Oath is administered by limited citizenship judges)...

It doesn't matter when it will be implemented anymore, because the potential maximum of instantly eligible people is already reached since we are close to the second year of the currently enforced 4/6 rule. The potential backlog inflated to the max is already waiting for the start signal.

You are welcome My sense here is that most of the people are thinking in a naive way, expecting only good consequences from that Bill C6, without being aware of the logistical difficulties CIC will encounter once the 3/5 kicks in. Here most of them care only when they will apply... they don't...

I completely understand and support the concern of screech339, because indeed the current 4/6 rule brought in controlled low number of applicants which of course brought short processing times and it will indeed be very unfair those people to get hit twice in a negative way increasing their wait...

The potential number of applicants who will qualify immediately is already inflated to the max since we are approaching the second year since the new 4/6 rule is in effect. It will be indeed very interesting how much the processing timelines will jump and as we know CIC will NOT increase the...

The 80-20 rule basically means that CIC has a target to process at least 80% of the applications within 12 months. So 12 months is their Service Level Agreement , and 80% is their Key Performance Indicator. If they do not hit 80%, it means they are missing their deadlines. it is interesting to...

Hi Keeping in mind that CIC will continue to operate under the 80/20 internal standard with regards to the processing times it is also in your interest to apply under the current 6/4 rule since the volume of applicants is still low.

Give them few more days time. If it's lost you can call the call centre and the agent will send you a copy of the invitation by the e-mail you have on file. You need the invitation because one of the pages is your consent that you don't mind pictures and video to be taken with you on them. You...

Hi It should take about a week.

It is obvious that itsmyid is just sick and tired from the trolling optimism here which goes on and on for more than a year and still counting.

If the Liberals really wanted to help you ASAP they could have tabled a Bill only with one amendment for the 3 years rule.

There is indeed a sense of political war by using the citizenship as a tool for that. I am pretty sure that the Liberals were aware that the newcomers are interested predominantly on the 3/5 rule, if they were willing to reverse the requirement back to 3 years then a Bill with that simple...

Frankly I have the impression that the majority of Canadians (the old stock Canadians as described by Harper ;D )actually support the current C24 so it would be very interesting how that new proposed Bill C6 will affect the Liberals when elections come.

There is some kind of a hidden game here. If they really wanted to make this Bill a Law they would have done it long time ago. It is obvious that this Bill is NOT a real priority for the Liberals.

Congratulations to the supporters of the Conservatives, they keep on doing the best they can to keep C24 effective as long as possible.

Frankly you never know which one would be better for you in terms of faster or slower processing times. It is also interesting that the vast majority of that generation EE ( ;) ) is interested only about when they would apply. They even agree to have NO RIGHT TO APPEAL to defend their...

Interesting to see the never stopping speculations with regards to the effective date of that Bill ;D Last spring people were sure that it will be effective before the summer break of 2016, then they were sure it will be effective after the summer. Oh wait, then it was sure that it will be...

Recently the timeline for CIC to return an application is within a month from the date it was delivered. Most likely everything is OK with your application. CIC usually gives 5 weeks max, from delivery date to AOR. Check the sheet from Sep and Aug and you will see that some people have waited a...
