You have to be very careful with the way you interpret the ''intent to reside'' provision.... if it was the way you are saying, it would be discriminatory; in the sense that native Canadians, and people that were naturalized before bill C-24 came into full effect, can move anywhere in the world...

I see your point but I don't think CIC has sufficient resources in general to be doing the interviews for quality checks as they claim in their operating manuals etc... We all hear that usually when someone is called for an interview it is because there are some concerns in the application...

If you don't mind sharing, do you have any idea why an interview was requested; typically I have rarely seen British citizens with a straight forward case being called for an interview but again with CIC we never know how they actually reason! Would appreciate your thoughts on the reason for the...

The copy with the photo will be kept by the CBSA officer when you land and the other one will be yours after the officer signs it and gets you to sign it during the landing! Congratulations! U r done! All the best!

Kuddos for your positivity!! Great outlook on things! Good luck!

Yup! When I sent my docs it was signed for by the same person :) good to know that someone else got that as well! Lol

Thanks a lot; a real relief to read this

Thanks for your positive outlook on this; it's nice to read it especially with all the horror stories posted here as someone else already said. Indeed, we all hope that we successfully get through this process fast... Otherwise, what did we pay 600$ for!

Any clue as to why was the RQ issued? How come u didn't apply for citizenship three years after 2008 (when u became PR), I.e 2011? It seems strange to issue an RQ since u came as a student and have been here since 2005 I'm assuming? Would appreciate some input...

Sure... Sit patiently... Easier said than done; I have lived in this country for 13 years... Came as a student, graduated, paid the foreign student fees, got a work permit, applied for PR, have been working for 4 years and paying a lot of taxes... Worked in very remote locations of Canada; don't...

Then what did we pay 630 $ for? Clear the backlogs?

Same here; AOR on March 3; hoping to see some movemt soon; frankly, it is frustrating to not know how CIC operates; some go in-process in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 months, 3 months etc... But there is never any explanation! Anyways, wishing all of us the best of luck to see progress very soon!

Hi Andrew; minor correction for my info on the spreadsheet; SA was 30-Oct-2014 and not 30-Nov-2014. Thanks for your help! Cheers.

Nishra: you have got to be the most ungrateful person!! If I was the administrator of this forum, I would suspend your account; the spreadsheet has allowed me to stay calm when the processing time for London creeped up to 29 months, it allowed people to figure out what it means when applications...

Can I be added to the spreadsheet; Application received on 23-Jan-15 AOR - Today (03-March-15) Thanks

I know; I understand completely! Same situation as mine! Let's hope the waiting game is over soon! All the best! Hang in there!

I was just in that situation last week; I applied on December 31, 2014 and received an e-mail On 29-Jan saying that extension was approved. However before receiving that letter I kept getting notification e-mails and when I'd log in, I wouldnt c n e messages...but by checking the page closely...

Appreciate the answer!! Thx! Feel relieved!

I needed some advice from senior members of this forum that have gone through the London VO and are British; I applied for Spousal Sponsorship in September 2014, got SA on 30-Oct-14 and file has been transferred to London; no AOR, no news from LVO to-date and based on the spreadsheet timelines...

Congrats! Wish u all the best settling in Canada!
