    RQ before test , timeline

    I have received my ATIP today and it turns out that my case has been approved on Aug 26, about a month after the test. A few peculiarities... My responsible CIC office is indicated as Scarborough, however my RQ processing and citizenship test have been done at St. Clair CIC. I am not sure...

    Incorrect CBSA records

    That's normal. If you enter Canada by car from the US, CBSA will often capture the vehicle information and will not stamp/scan your passport. It can be fixed. If you owned the car that you crossed the border in, you can submit an ATIP report to CBSA. Attach a copy of the car ownership and...

    RQ - St Clair Office - Share Your Timeline

    No, just re-running clearances. You haven't passed your test yet, therefore your application cannot be approved yet. You have to have up-to-date clearances in order to be invited to a test.

    It was quick in my case. Your case may be different.

    They are re-running your clearances after expiring.

    Also about ATIP... There is no evidence to believe that ordering ATIP slows down your case. I have ordered my ATIP in February as well, that's why I know what's in it. I also know that my clearances were due to expire in mid-June. When I didn't receive a test invitation until early July I...

    RQ - St Clair Office - Share Your Timeline

    As I understand it, since our RQ's had been issued a new operating bulletin came out which reduced the number of RQ triggers. Apparently in our cases RQ's have been requested based on triggers that were no longer considered as such by CIC. That's where the re-triage under OB-407D comes from...

    RQ - St Clair Office - Share Your Timeline

    I dare say that your case has been re-triaged under OB-407D and found not needing an RQ anymore. At least that's how it appears. Your timeline is close to mine and I just had a test last week. See the signature for details. BTW, I have the same OB-407D note in my ATIP.

    RQ before test , timeline

    The question is irrelevant. You are still going to apply and there is nothing you can do about the 6 month gap... unless you wait until the validity of your passport fits within 4 year period (probably 6 years under new rules) before application.

    RQ before test , timeline

    No, CBSA will not do. You need to contact a border services agency in your home country, not an embassy.

    1. I would go with the statements that show more consistent activity throughout the period of interest. If you had that credit card all along and used it regularly then it should suffice, but frankly this is not something you should save money on. 2. Just a photocopy is fine.

    RQ issued during interview - Entry/Exit stamp from NZ & USA

    Maybe try checking NZ immigration forums and asking people there. Or just call New Zealand Customs Services: http://www.customs.govt.nz/about/contactus/Pages/make-a-general-enquiry.aspx

    For USA you can retrieve last 5 years of border crossing history online here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html;jsessionid=h1Q7TYKLT44hkcHvpLGvp9x0Z93RVscXP7lS2QSPNHrRhxwHRvRp!-887765640 No idea about NZ though.

    Oath Timeline after test at St. Clair Office

    Hi jwzc, That's unfortunate. However can you tell us more about the case? Did you get RQ'ed? Was there anything particularly unusual happening during your interview?
