After reading the below mentioned ECAS status update i still have a real big smile of my face and feeling so relieved.
We sent you a notice on August 2, 2013 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on August 20, 2013 at 09:30 am. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.
I wish everyone all the very best. I would also like to discuss few things which could be useful to other applicants.
1. The time i sent my citizenship application, I attached a copy of my health card which was ONLY A MONTH OLD.
2. I had traveled 4 times in the past 5 years accumulated 21 weeks of vacation in total.
;D ;D ;D ;D

No RQ for me very straight forward process...asnwers to ur questions.us2yow said:OKK,
Looks like you did not get an RQ. Congrats ! Any insights on why you did not get an RQ ? Mind if I asked a few questions? YES/NO responses is fine. Great if you want to add a bit more to Qstns 1-5.
(1) Are you from a visa waiver country / other developed country ?
(2) Do you have a full-time Canadian job and DID NOT declare yourself as consultant or self-employed ?
(3) Did you study in Canada ?
(4) Did you live some years in Canada as student / temp worker before applying for PR etc etc
(5) Any other comments on why you think you may not have got RQ ?
Thanks a bunch for your responses buddy ! and Enjoy your Oath ceremony.....![]()
It's not the people who abused the system is the source of the problem, people are the same everywhere and certain Canadian govt agencies should be able to control situation without penalizing everybody anyway.coolcanadian said:OKK I absolutely agree with you.
Your observation is correct. Its all those people who abused the system in the past and now everyone else is paying the price.
I was just addressing your point blaming fraudsters, which is not the right thing to blame here, I think.coolcanadian said:Who cares about what USA is doing we are in Canada...USA may be have a system in place but we don't and the harsh truth is bitter...Till then RQ it is...and this is another harsh reality anyone has any travel history to US will get a RQ
I am not blaming no one here you are just reading what you want to read...my point is pretty basic and very affirm any travel history to USA will result into a RQ. Now what are the reason behind it not my problem but this is how it is as simple as thatEasyRider said:I was just addressing your point blaming fraudsters, which is not the right thing to blame here, I think.
Fraudsters is a phenomenon which exists since society began.
What stands out in the whole picture though is unpreparedness of agencies and lame, almost child-like handling of situation.
Canada's naturalization timelines possibly worst in the world now.
