Hello friends, Today I received our pinkies (mine and my family's) so it's finally official after a looong looong wait. Below the timeline. * We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 1, 2014. * We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt...

Congratulations jondon! :D

Good morning friends, With great relief I inform you that we finally got the infamous 5th line in our eCAS. Here are the entries: * We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 1, 2014. * We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your...

Hello jondon, Same day. Our electoral district is Don Valley North by the way. The treatment we've received from the constituency assistant (Janet) so far has been nothing less than excellent. For any applicants living in this electoral district experiencing issues, I highly recommend...

Hello sfaisalm, According to the CIC officer who got contacted by the MP's constituency assistant, the issue was basically that "someone forgot" to enter the results from my wife's exam. Based on my ATIP report, it seems as they finish updating all assessments only after the applicant pass the...

Hello friends, Before hitting the hay I wanted to let you know the MP's constituency assistant called my wife early this afternoon to tell her CIC sent our invitation already and we should be receiving it shortly. Cautiously excited ::) Stand-by for the next update.

Good morning friends in "arms" :D I just checked my wife's status and it finally reads "Decision Made". If my theories are correct, this means they FINALLY updated all her assessments and their system should issue the invitation for oath any minute now. Let's see. I'll keep you posted.

Hello ambient2, Unfortunately I'm not a legal adviser nor an immigration lawyer. Anybody that suspects his/her rights are being violated should seek legal representation. All I'm saying here is that we should not simply accept a system that is showing signs of not being working properly. CIC...

Hello asaif, I agree with you when you say there's a "systemic problem", but I completely disagree with you when you say "there isn't much I can do". If the system is like you're describing, then we must definitely raise our voices until it's either fixed or changed. Voting is not the only...

Hello Kurtz, My suggestion is not to wait any longer and ask your MP to intervene. The constituency assistant (Don Valley East) who interviewed us told us they're receiving countless similar cases being handled by the Scarborough office. She told us they have a mess there. We need to raise...

Hi ambient2, I agree with you 100%. It's ridiculous nowadays to "forget" to update a system that has fail-safes like "due dates" and other measures. I'm assuming backlog/"forgotten" cases are part of the metrics they're monitoring, but based on many applicants experiences, it seems as either...

Hi andrew7007, There is a due date for Feb-4-2016 on all assessments but obviously nothing happened then. So, in my wife's case, those due dates were irrelevant.

Hello ambient2, You hit the nail in the head my friend! That´s exactly what's going on. Today my wife and I went to our MP's office and had a meeting with a constituency assistant. The lady is a star of the customer service, and right after showing my wife's ATIP report she called someone at...

Hello andrew7007, My wife's ATIP report shows that only the RCMP assessment has been completed. The rest (knowledge, language, residence, etc.) are still pending. As for the physical presence... By the time we applied (Nov 24, 2014) I had 1137 days and my wife had 1125 days since we landed...

No. They haven't asked for new documents or requirements so far. We've always been told that everything is OK with our case. Nevertheless, based on my wife's ATIP report, I believe the reason holding our case is the fact that the last update on her file was on May 5, 2015 (the same day they...

Hello friends, Is there anybody here that passed the exam between March and July 2015 who has not received his/her invitation to take oath yet?

Hello andrew7007, No new documents nor additional steps have been required to us. The last time a CIC officer opened our file was on Dec 23, 2015 and he said we should have been invited a long time ago.

Thanks amouch. I greatly appreciate your sympathy. Faithfully waiting is what we (2 kids, wife and I) have been doing for more than an year now (applied on Dec 2014). The only thing holding our frustration/anger is the thought that God is allowing this to happen for a reason. Let's see. On...

Hello friends, My wife and I passed the citizenship exam on May 22nd 2015 and we're still haven't received the invitation for oath. We called CIC 6 months after the exam (as per their rules) and they said everything was OK with our applications and they would send a reminder to our local...

Thanks for the update aybf. My test was on May 22nd so you just got my hopes up. :) Did you receive the invitation letter (pinky) or just the update on eCAS? Regards,
