I agree. If you are a shortfall applicant is makes sense to withdraw your application and reapply. You will be probably be dragged to a citizenship judge ,which can take who knows how many months ,and get rejected . If you reapply , given that new applications are handled very quickly, it...

I refer you to the discussion in the thread "Proof for residency when a case is destined to a citizenship judge ". You might gain some insights and thoughts as to how CIC selects the portion subjected to the delays.

I invite you and the other readers to have a look in the thread "Proof for residency is case is destined for hearing with citizenship judge " . There is a discussion there about reasons for which CIC subjects applicants for long delays . maybe some applicants can gain useful insight from that...

I'm not sure if it is the government is to held accountable or is it the managerial and administrative level at CIC. As I see it the government determines the high level guidelines and policies but the implementation is the responsibility of the administrative level which is a-political. In...

I started to feel hopeful seeing all this late 2012 applicants have their cases approved . But after reading your post as well as Rayan's case maybe this wave of warm optimism is premature. According to your timelines I might be expecting to be delayed into 2016.

I guess they are allocating all resources to finalize the processing of 2011 and 2012 applicants........ NOT . Jeez I even got myself fooled there for a second :D

Sorry to say this friend but it seems to me like something really went wrong with your application in CIC. The reason I am saying is that we are seeing mid to late 2012 applicants getting oaths or ATIP showing some progress. Earlier applicants have been who have not receive oaths yet are...

One of the most amusing posts I have read in this forum :)

I think that there are some circumstantial risk indicators which CIC uses when determining if an applicant is considered higher risk applicant which will necessitate RQ , judge hearing and other investigative measures. I also think that these indicators has to do with one gender and most...

Actually I would think that the evidence for residency in Canada for me are more compelling than my wife's . I have few short absences with continued employment . My wife has the more absences ,including few than extend more than a month period . She also has extended unemployment period due to...

Sorry to not have mentioned it but my wife DID get an RQ however CIC was able to process her RQ in roughly four months whereas I am waiting for over 1.5 post RQ submission and still no oath. There was also a great deal of overlap between the documents we submitted in support of the RQ yet CIC...

I am not claiming that the decision whether to eventually grant citizenship is affected by gender. What I am claiming is that being a male applicant is a risk indicator that CIC factors in when deciding which applicants it wants to subject to higher level of scrutiny. It makes perfect sense if...

Regarding your reference to Eileen's I'm am not claiming that female applicants do not experience delays but only that there is less probability for this to happen and hence her case is not a contradiction. Besides she got her citizenship after 31 months roughly and not the 36+ timelines other...

I know it may sound far fetched bu I've been following the forums for almost two years and it Leeds to me to the following conclusion : male applicants are at much higher risk of experiencing processing delays than their female counterparts . I have seen many many stories like mine where the...

Thank you for your informative post. Actually I am quite confident that CIC will approve my case. The reason is that my wife whom I sponsored to come to Canada has received her citizenship last year. She applied after me and also received RQ but since CIC gives higher priority to female...

Hi Please see my timeline below. According to what you are saying I can expect a citizenship judge hearing ?

Congrats !! I really think you deserve an apology for what you have been put through. The fact that you eventually did get approved proves that all the suffering they caused turned out to be unjustified. How were you able to take your case to court since the 36 months timeframe for non routine...

Can you make the case specific inquiry even if you are still within the posted timelines (e.g before 36 months to non-routine cases) ? Does it cause any delays in processing?

why were you refused?

Try to squeeze your husbands oath huh ?? how long he's been waiting ? 4 years or so ? well, new applicants are given oaths on the spot after the test... no squeeze for them :) fair isn't it ?
