    CIC agents are swarmed and they are handling more than 200 applications every month. Within the next 2-4 weeks, you should get your test date. Have patience and it will happen soon.

    A quick question. Are they checking the date stamps for the last 4 years or last 5 years? I have a lot of travel history and want to be prepared well.

    Agree! On top of the envelope write "URGENT PROCESSING" in bold. they will open your file immediately. Inside, write a letter with the application explaining that your previous file seems to be lost. No AOR received since the file was submitted on XXX date. It is likely that CIC has lost the...

    Yes, looks like you will get your email by January. Call CIC and ask them whether your criminal, security and background checks are completed. If they say yes and everything looks good, you may be few weeks away from Oath. Also, keep checking ECAS for "change to decision made. Another 4 weeks...

    No, submit a copy of whatever translation documents you have. Also, mark the File "URGENT" on top and write a letter stating that the previous file sent on XX Date has probably been misplaced as no AOR has been received. This way duplication will not occur. I find it hard to believe that...

    It is normal. The overall citizenship process is federally managed, all templates and all email communications are federally managed. I know that CIC uses an advanced version of "Crystal Reports" which auto-fills all the non-static fields (name, application number, date of birth, address...

    December showed only 2 test dates, but January and February showed like 3 days every week to chose from. Looks like a lot of people will be taking the tests in Jan and February.

    At this point, I think it is better that you send a new application with the same payment receipt. It should not take so much time for them to open a file. They have probably lost your file. This time please send it with a courier.

    Yes, do not worry. It is a routine request. I read somewhere that a large majority of the FP requests are generated due to false positives. Follow up with CIC in 4 weeks after the FP request that your results are received.

    Finally got the test date on 04 Dec 2018. The email came at 11:24 MST time. I am travelling on these dates and had already informed CIC and a note was made on the file. There was a link on the letter to reschedule and I will be doing the test in January. Good luck to all those who are...

    This seems like a routine standard template letter. Let us also wait to hear from those who got the FP request. I did not, but, all letters received by applicants are standard templates. If there is one near you. use commissionaires office for FP, they have the fastest turn around for FP. If...

    5-6 months for decision to be made. In your case, no test will be required so you will directly get an Oath date.
