You send ur citizenship application to CIC. 26 months later, a local Winnipeg CIC officer picks ur file. You get a pre test RQ based on generic triggers you submit ur response. Two years later an officer looks at ur response and invites u to the test, or send ur file to sit in a queue for...

You can apply for citizenship with an expired pr like it was suggested above. Few people reported getting an RQ and suggesting that it is due to the expired passport. My 2 cents: renew both the pr and passport after u apply for citizenship.

Seldom, No need to panic, u waited so long, so hang in there. Take ur damaged card with u and act normal. Bring ur medical card, Driver's license, SIN card and old and new passports as well. Study hard and smart for the exam. Best of luck. Pls update us once ur done with the exam.

Seldom, Send a fax to the local office directly. Nevermind the call center. Google winnipeg local office fax number. In ur letter, inquire about the reasons for delaying ur file. Mention that u applied 24 months ago and no invitation to the test yet. Also, give them a phone number with voice...

Zaza 39, did u get an invitation to oath yet. It is almost 3 months since u wrote ur test. Hope things go fast for u. :D

Congratulations. :D

yes, u can mail it to ur local office and they will add the documents to ur file. Don't forget to provide ur file number.

What is ur local office? After u submit ur RQ, it gets reviewed, if the officer feels that u need a hearing with a judge, then ur file gets in a lengthy queue. CIC call center are quoting 48 months for St clair office. Buying a property and having a driver license will show that you have ur...

You applied for citizenship in 2010. So what is the status of ur application? Did u get an RQ? If you fulfilled the physical residency of 1095 days, why do u think they might refuse your application for citizenship. Make sure you renew ur PR card. To keep ur PR status you need 730 days in the...

Hi anin, Is ur file transfered to a local office yet? I'm just wondering if citizenship applications are processed in saskatoon after May 2012 (closure of 19 CIC offices nation wide).

Having a valid PR is not a condition for citizenship grant. However, one person reported on a different forum that his son went for the citizenship exam and in the interview, he got an RQ. His passport and PR were expired. Members argued both ways. Long story short, pay the $50 and renew ur PR...

I never come across anyone reporting from saskatchwan, but people from winnipeg reported longer time than other places. Your question sounded like u have an option to apply with an address from a different province?

People from calgary and montreal reported having both the test and ceremony at the same day. I'm not sure if this will be the trend there yet. Still waiting for more people to share their info. Montreal used to have both events at the same day many years ago. Then they switched to have the...

Your wife is good to go. She received an acknowledgement letter along with her booklet. She should be able to check her online status as well. Your mother inlaw needs to re apply using the new form CIT 0002 (01-2013) E.

Look at the bottom right corner of the citizenship application, the most current version should read CIT 0002 (01-2013) E. CIC updated the form few times during 2012. It seems that CIC just updated the form again. I don't know when exactly ur mother inlaw applied, but she used an older version...

ISK, It seems like edmonton2011 suggested that winnipeg office is super slow. People are reporting 24 months and no test day yet. I would send the application to renew PR Card. It takes around 11 weeks and costs $50. Make sure that the dates in the PR application match the dates on ur...
