orodeshah - I had an identical case like yours. Full RQ post test. This was in Jul 27. On Dec 15, I became Canadian. It actually took only two months for my decision to be made. Now every case is unique, but the reason why I got an RQ was two fold: (1) I was unemployed for the first year of my...

CIC does mention that documents like this are good examples of the proof that they are looking for. But I decided that if in doubt, just give them EVERYTHING. One thing that I did do extra was the notarized statements and attestation letters from my friends. Also, I asked CRA to post me the...

I have been getting requests asking what I did to make my RQ get resolved so quickly. Honestly, I don't know how the internals of CIC works, but I can guess that I submitted a full and complete RQ that was professionally typeset with correct English. For the record, this is what I submitted as...

Hi All I just wanted to update everyone. In about one month and ten days after submitting the RQ, my ecas changed to "decision made". Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail with my oath invite for 15 December. In a nutshell, here is the timeline: June 3 - Invitation to test for 27 June...

Congratulations...

Thanks Puda. I think you are correct. I don't anyone who got a decision made after a RQ and got rejected, but then again, I don't know anyone who was in that circumstance and got accepted: In short, I don't know of any case (within these forums) that are akin to mine. But thank you, your words...

Okay, you did not read my original post. It is a few posts up, but I did get a RQ! Please read the context of why I made this statement. Yes it does - you are assuming something because you have not read my circumstances. This is NOT my circumstance. Again, please read about my circumstances...

No, this is incorrect. If you get decision made, and you were not given an RQ and everything went well in the test, then I suppose you can say everything's good to go. On the other hand, if you are given a RQ, then everything may not be good to go. Look at...

Thanks Msafiri, I have just applied. Let's see what happens...

It was a full on CIT0171. I had two problems that came to light at my interview: CBSA did not stamp my passport on entry to Canada, hence I forgot to declare the trip (it was 20 months prior to my citizenship application, it was one of several trips and it was only for 4 days) During the first...

Hi I am December applicant. I got an RQ after the test >:( 1.5 months after I sent the RQ in, my ecas status has changed to decision made. I have no idea if that is good or not. But now, I am waiting for any correspondence. I took my test (and got the RQ) on Jul 27 2015. Handed in my RQ on...

hi h3a3j6 I know two people who have submitted RQ's way after you and they have already done their oaths. Message me, and I will tell you about their cases. It may be worth while to call up CIC and ask for a status update if your case is similar to theirs. baz

Hi Chikloo Forgive if I am incorrect, but that link says nothing about 80% of cases being cleared before Mar 2016. As I understand that link, they will try clear the backlog by Mar 2016, but it says nothing about non-routine cases. OP is a non-routine case (all RQ's are non-routine), are you...

hi chikloo Where did you read this? Can you please link to any document that states they intend clearing 80% of cases on or before April 2015

Wow, this is the longest reply I have ever got. Thanks for the info. One thing everyone is harping on: This two days vs four days issue. I just mentioned it as an aside, and I think I devote exactly three sentences to this in my explanation. I actually don't even count on it, I am just...

sjakub, please keep it polite. English is my first language, I understand what the words main mean. But the actual words did not even say "main", I don't know what it said because CIC has taken the site down when it posted new rules. For your information, I did not only use my passport for...

Right on brother! I understand when people say: "It's your responsibility to keep track of things". Fair enough. But then don't print totally incorrect instructions and discourage people from getting their CBSA reports. Honestly, whoever decided to mention "Use your passport as your main source...

Hi adzees Well, I am actually going to wait at least five months before I withdraw and resubmit. I have already sent my RQ off (I sent it off on the 19th Aug). My hope is that they are going to somehow make contact with me in that period and give me some sort of answer. If not, I will probably...

Yeah, I thought as much. This is the position I am in: I will not obtain my GC by the time I reapply, but I would have got it by the time I re-write the citizenship test. Advice?

Hi All So my wife entered (and won) the greencard lottery, which makes me eligible for a greencard based on a spouse relationship. We are not 100% guaranteed to get the greencard (anything can happen at the interview - if you think the Canadians are obtuse, then the Americans are MUCH worse)...
