When I went for my test, the CIC officer [very nice btw], spoke with me for about 20 minutes regarding where I lived and what I did here in Canada. Since I have many, many travels in and out of Canada, and was unemployed for part of the time [trigger for my RQ], she said she might contact me for...

Yup. They wanted me to lead a project for almost a year and I kept saying no because according to ATIP, my test was scheduled anytime before Canada Day last year. It came and went and nothing happened and so I said yes and the week before I going to travel, boom, update on E-CAS and I get the...

That's pretty much the case! I'm in no rush to become a Canadian but what would I have done without a job? Being unemployed the first time around was pretty much the reason I got an RQ so this keeping a job is twice as important now when going to a test. I'm going to check out the website...

We're all in the same boat. Congrats.

It's been 8 months and counting. I wish it was 2-4 months!

So I had my scheduled test date back in July 2014, almost 2.5 years after I applied for citizenship, and was super excited to go for it, and then my employer asked me to go for a trip abroad. I had been putting off travelling for over a year for this same reason and was getting nowhere with a...

Applied in Dec 2011 and got an RQ. No test yet. ATIP mentioned exam would be July 1st 2014 (assumed it was an internal date) but nothing so far.

I applied 6 months before you and I'm still waiting for the test.

So I ordered my GCMS notes through ATIP a month ago and got them today morning (exactly 30 days later). Some new information has appeared since I last got them about 5 months ago. A little background, Application sent- Dec 2011 RQ received - Feb 2013 Notice to Prepare - Dec 2013 FOSS/RCMP...

I recently got a Notice to Prepare for Citizenship in the mail about 2 weeks ago. I have a noticed a number of people on this forum getting test dates, which seems like a good sign. I still haven't got a test date and the call center says nothing is happening yet on my case. In my GCMS notes, I...

It seems rather difficult to figure out what the current environment at CIC is with regards to processing citizenship applications. About 8% of Canadians live abroad (less than the UK) and I'm not sure why people keep comparing Canadians abroad to the problems in Lebanon. Every country has a...

I've read a lot of threads mentioning that it's alright to leave the country after submitting an application, but the chances of receiving an RQ increase considerably if the applicant does so. Well, I've already received an RQ so that is no longer an issue. I applied in December 2011, almost 2...

Hi everyone, I have been in Canada since 2001, first as a student and then as a PR (become one in 2007). I finished my residency requirements (and surpassed them considerably) in November 2011 and applied for citizenship in the same month and am now waiting for the test. I happened to finish my...

Hey everyone..just wanted to let you all know that today e-Cas updated to "Decision Made". I've been waiting for almost 7 months since I started the process for my wife, although its been about 2.5 months my wife actually sent her passport in to the ND office. Best of luck of everyone else!

Hey everyone. I'm not exactly new to this forum, having read most of your comments over the last few weeks. Congrats to everyone getting their visas! I've been waiting for my wife's visa for a long time now. I applied way back in October 5th of last year at CPC-M, and my application was sent...
