2011 and 2012 Applicants
- Thread starter djoli
- Start date
I reckon good lawyer is only help now. Get together with a group of people and ask for discount on his/her services.djoli said:
Not sure if a lawyer can do much at this point unfortunately. It almost seems like even lawmakers cant do anything to at least attempt to improve the process. No persons should have their citizenship application held up for months just because CIC has concerns that some people maybe trying to game the system. According to an internal review that was done by CIC a few months ago (I cannot remember exactly when) only about 1% of all applications are fraudulent. Why should we be penalized because of that

I can see your outline is almost like my husband's and I noticed that CIC is sending out these mini RQ requesting documents that we already provide them with... I am assuming its a way to buy them time.. it sucks but lets stand up strong and not give up....
I applied in Nov 2012, not a peep from CIC till date. Just got the book and no test was scheduled. Is there a way to file a class action suit?
For such delay on some applications, while other applications, even with RQ, are moving so fast? Basically, is there a way to ease this delay for the 2011/2012/2013 applicants?
its ridicules how CIC work so fast on new applications because they paid the extra money, while other old files are let behind sitting on shelves' with dust on them.. even with all the calling and effort of contacting them, they do not bother to take the file out for a view,,,. I am really hoping for you to hear something from them but don't stop living your life waiting for them, enjoy your time and travel as much as you like... crossing fingers for someone to hear something soon....roarktheman said:

Your application has been processing for more than 36 months now, that is unacceptable. Keep calling CIC and ask them what the delay is about, they really need to make a decision on these cases ASAP, there is no reason for them to delay your application at this point.
