Good news to hear that you are getting called for test/oath My case still waiting: applied June 2011, processing since Sept 2012, NO NEWS STILL WAITING >:(

You guys are so lucky ... still waiting ??? got RQ 6 months ago ... still waiting :( :(

Get the snow pants, snow jackets, snow shoes and you'll be fine ;D

Same here, it will be 21 months next week ... no news however I got RQ'd :'( There is NOTHING you can do then WAITING, I heard that CIC agents may tell you anything they want it won't speed up the process!

:D :D :D it will take you WAY MORE THAN ONE YEAR to become citizen, believe me ....... at best 21 months which is the current processing time. Anything suspicious you get the famous RQ which may delay your case by 4 years depends of your local office and personal case. No joking read posts on...

I got RQ in Sept. 2012 and send all docs required and I dont have this extra line on my status It is still say, "We started processing your application ....blablalba" no mention about RQ though I got one 6 months ago I agree with Mary Chad you should call CIC, why do they write that ?

Thanks for the reply. Got RQ 5 months ago, still waiting, so far total time since applied is 20 months but with RQs could last way after Xmas :-X

did you guys got RQs from Ottawa office ? Or your given estimated time is for non-RQ ? Thanks

We were in the same situation when we landed in Calgary. What we did is looking at Craigslist. We found a nice lady in Calgary who was renting part of her property on a weekly basis. I remember we paid $300 for one week, way cheaper than a hotel. Maybe she is still doing that, I don't know...

My advice for future .... If you ever plan to apply for citizenship you will need to provide proof of address from the last 4 years preceding your application. Tons of people get screwed with this later. Whether it is a hotel, friend place, temporary accomodation, KEEP TRACK OF IT, receipts...

For me it took 2 weeks from the date they receive it and the date they started processing. Timeline: received Jan 14 2013, started processing Jan 27 2013 You can check the status online, that is how I found out they started processing the application. What it really means is that they have...

Wow that was quick! good to hear that. Wonder if living in Ottawa makes things faster ???

Yes there is a form and it cost $5 per request. Mr_saviour did you send a cheque with your request ? did they cash it ? I am in the same situation, applied for it and didn't hear anything but I am looking at my online bank statement to see if they cash the cheque so at least you know they are...

Hi John I have the same problem but I found out how to solve this: here is how: 1) The top part asks you for a file number, or client ID and so on. So you type it in. 2) Add your name, country, DOB then if you click continue, it doesn't work so what I do, is I go back to the page and I see...

:P The prison is a good one but of course you can't apply for citizenship then. If you have kids it kind of help because for example we submitted the report card that has the number of days of ATTENDANCE though CIC has to assume that if the kids go to school in Canada means that the parents are...

Well "best place to live" depends really of your criteria. We moved to Ottawa because of jobs and we don't regret it. We found a trick to save a lot of money. We actually live in Gatineau, just North of the Ottawa river on the province of Quebec because it is A LOT CHEAPER (mostly housing costs...

I have read somewhere that expired passport is a BAD THING because it implies that you may have another one that you don't want to show and therefore you are hiding something, even if you are not. What's your timeline ? Maybe you will get RQ, who knows ?

I have read somewhere that the docs you sent for RQs are very personal from cases to cases. The point is that you must give a good impression and make it clear of your presence in Canada. Health records ? yes maybe but what if you don't have many. In our case we included our claim history...

No the reality it seems is that CIC officers have a quota. The more they give RQs the better for them the worse for us :'(

Wow I am jealous! You did your test after ONE YEAR! I applied in June 2011 and got RQ on Sept 2012 now waiting .... :'(
