    my application become non routine

    In my opinion, you can request another extension from CIC by attached a copy which you sent RCMP. Inform the CIC that despite reminder to RCMP you did not receive their response & you will submit it once you receive it. Any crucial correspondence with CIC should be done thru registered mail only.

    Tracking June 2015 Citizenship Application - Please Share your Timeline

    Beside sending a letter by courier to your local CIC office along with travel records explaining your situation, I think get your MP involved to intervene on your behalf. If not addressed this issue timely and forceful manner, CIC might decide unilaterally that you abandoned the application. Act...

    Mississauga Office Applicants 2014/ 2015

    Scarborough is probably the slowest in the nation. Besides me, many candidates who applied Oct 15 are still waiting for test invites, except few who though applied early this year but had their tests. Tend to believe, CIC is not at all transparent enough or has some undeclared processing...

    Auditor General Slams Citizenship Process

    Knowing CIC's tardy processing process, I suspect CIC would abuse the Auditor General's report to further delay the processing without actually doing anything to stop the fraudsters.

    Miss a call from CBSA

    There are lot of scam calls, claiming they calling from CRA, CBSA etc. If this was genuine call from CBSA, they would leave complete message and reason for call. I suspect the call you got was from some SCAMSTER, do not give your personal details ask them to send a letter.

    ATIP Request Past due date by 11 days

    Precisely, what sense it makes if they generated report on the day request is received. Why they need to sit on it for 31 days to send it. Probably, by the time the report reaches the requester, it loses its relevancy and he will be forced to re-apply for another one. ;D ;D
