Congrats! !! Enjoy your new status in this wonderful country. Best of luck.

An urgent processing requires an adult to be eligible for citizenship. Also, the person must completed 1095 days residency requirement. On top of that there must be a reason like job gain/loss, can't return back after visiting dying parents or something else. Many of us here have some valid...

I think your file was pretty straight forward to take a positive decision and had no complexity in calculating your days of residence. Would you mind sharing how many days have you had out of four years, also your foreign travels after you became permanent resident? Even though you waited almost...

I don't think calling CIC brings any negative impact on a particularly case as long as callers don't test the patience of the agents, even though in many instances, nothing new were heard other than what we could see online. I called them five times in the last 5 months, after having the exam...

We must not lose faith in the system that has given millions of oath letters, so far. Because of few exceptional cases, the whole system can't be blamed, just an opinion.

It makes sense, because the officer who interviewed me following the exam also told me every file has to be approved by a CJ and only a CJ will decide if hearing is needed, of course, depending on the preliminary assessments by other officers, for example, the officers who interviewed us. I...

Since there is a call center, and no CIC sites discourage applicants to call the call center, calling CIC once a while, may be once in every two to three months, would never be a bad idea. Calling CIC means a lot: you care about your application, you are in Canada, also it helps CIC track down...

Hello Friends, Have you noticed oath letter receiving rate has declined significantly these days? Very few members are reporting their success stories after Canada day. Please share your story and keep us hoping to share the same sooner than later. Look forward to.

Hello Guys Recently, I spoke with a CIC call center agent, and it was for the fifth time since I wrote the test on Mar 28. The agent was very cooperative, as they are with you I guess. He asked me if had received any letters from them by the time. After carefully checking my application, he...

Congratulations!! I think you have shown enough evidence showing you will be in this country for a long term. The applicant who are still waiting for oath letters but wrote the test more than 6 months ago should consider what they can do to prove they will not leave this country soon after...

CIC does not immediately reject the applications with fewer days than required, 1095 days, because of the applicants who serve for Canada in foreign mission, who usually get approval from CIC but this situation is only approved by an Honorable Judge. Please, follow the application kit, received...

Even, for some reasons this 36 month-waiting may extend up to unlimited time. Because, a few days back someone in this forum told s/he met a person in the oath ceremony came to take oath after 10 years of application. This 36 months is average of 80% cases. So, the new system might help many of...

Hi, Thanks for sharing your case with us, the test takers at St Clair CIC office. As far as my experience goes, an applicant can get a RQ during the interview after test at the latest. Therefore, it is very unlikely you will get RQ but, you know, noting is confirmed. You got test invitation...

It looks your file has moved pretty fast compared with many others files. How many days have you had on file when you applied? Also, it would be worth sharing your travel information after your landing in Canada. Good luck with your preparation about test oath on June 9.

Happy Canada Day to everyone. Wish you, and your family and friend the best on eve of this day.

There are definitely more than one ways to improve the system and to minimize the waste of time, money and resources. One way may be raising the application fee and forfeiting the fee for not meeting basic requirements, such as residency, tax return, English skill and so on. This step can be...

Hi Canadiandesi, It's indeed a good idea. Who are well short of 1095 days may consider withdrawing application and reapply. It perhaps save time rather than waiting for unlimited days. I know one case who denied citizenship because of the same reason, but his wife, children granted citizenship...

Hi Kc5, Your case is a bit different from most of us only because the file is being reviewed in Ottawa office. Otherwise, we are on the same boat. So far, one thing is for sure, writing test does not mean having clearance from all queries related with citizenship grant. Therefore, the status...

Thanks for sharing the info. I had 1107 days, but no fixed property. I travelled a lot, but never went out of the country in the last 5 yrs. No immediate family, never received any financial assistance form govt, wrote the test on Mar 28.

Re: March Test Takers @ St. Clair, who recieved their oath letters? Even though the local office is Mississauga, the file is processed in St. Clair once it is transferred here because of RQ. Local office usually handles the final step, oath, as far as I am concerned. You may expect...
