April 2015 citizenship Applicants

[Babi22]

A person can can request ATIP basically for many reasons however following are just two that I would like to elaborate:

1. To get your CBSA entry/exit records. ( You have to use Canada Border Services Agency from the drop-down menu)

2. To get notes/details about your citizenship application(You have to use Citizenship and Immigration Canada from the drop-down) which will include the current status of the application and the stage where the application is currently at. It also provide more details about your application which the call centre can't provide.

For option 2, I am not sure though if it affects the speed and processing of the citizenship application.

Thanks for the clarification Sam. Is it an information that can be really relevant? I mean is it worth it? I think I read in different threads that when you receive your ATIP you will need to decode what is written in it as it's not always clear...

Interesting...well the reason you have to comply with the finger print request (aka additional information about the applicant) is that when they sent out your file for criminality check, it must have come back with a "report able trace found". Now they have to make sure that you have not committed an indictable offense as indicated in the citizenship act before the office can proceed any further in regards to your claim for Canadian citizenship.

Protection orders are generally not issued as a result of someone's speculation. In other words, you need to come with up with an evidence to allow the authorities to draw a reasonable inference that protection may be necessary for the petitioners well being. Upon providing sufficient documentation and satisfying the authorities, protection orders may be issued.

If you have not committed an offense then get your finger prints done, and your application will most likely move to the next stage - the office just want to verify that you are not prohibited from applying for citizenship.

I hope that helps!! and stay positive...

Some information is understandable however some information needs to be decoded.

People usually submit ATIP if there is no progress regarding the application since so long.
If your application is being processed normally within timelines then don't worry about ordering ATIP.

I ordered ATIP notes just coz I was getting impatient....I hope it won't cause any harm to the file or slow it down maybe?

Well my application has not been transfered to local office yet, since june 23rd...i see many people having their application transfered within a week (from when it went to in process). My wife application (few months ago) got transferred after one month of processing. I don't think my application is getting delayed (yet). I'll give it another 2 or 4 more weeks and might order my ATIP if there will be no progress at that time.
Although this may be understandable as I have about 25 trips in my last 3 years.

Just curious, what information did you find in your ATIP?

Also, remember, e-cas sometimes updates and sometimes not. All you need to do is to patiently wait and hopefully your file would be transferred in few days.

My file transfer line disappeared few weeks ago and never re-appeared.

I am not sure if new applicants are getting file transfer updates on e-cas or not.

Hello everyone, "easy" question for everyone...

My Citizenship began processing July 22nd, 2015, and I applied from Montreal, Quebec province. Can I move to another province while my Citizenship paperwork processes, based on my Quebec application? Are we locked and ordered to stay in our respective provinces based on where we applied from? I want to leave Quebec because it's become very difficult for me to find replacement employment. I want to move to Ontario, Ottawa, maybe even Edmonton or Calgary at this point....

I hope I'm allowed to leave Quebec and try out another province even though I applied for Citizenship from Quebec...

Thanks for your reading!

Hello. I just joined, but I've been reading for a while.

This is my timeline.

Citizenship Timeline:
Application Received => 14-APR-2015
AOR in Email => 4-MAY-2015
eCAS Activated => UNKOWN
Processing Started => 05-Jun-2015
File Transferred => 22-JUN-2015, MONTREAL

We'll see how it goes.

One of the things that bother me is that I paid the fee twice: one last year when my application was returned due to wrong info and once this year after the hike. At that point there wasn't a field for the difference only. Do you guys think I should call? I just put a paper on it kindly asking for a refund.

You are allowed to leave Quebec, but you will have to notify the officials about your new address. It can be done by updating the address online using ecas tool.

Your application will then be transferred to your local office and they will initiate the processing where Montreal left off.

Hello All, I have applied for citizenship in April 2015. My e-cas status says In process. I just realised that, I wrote a wrong entry date into residency calculator with my citizenship application for Canada. Although, I have about 1099 days without counting this day.

Anyone with this sort of experience? Will appreciate your help. How can I update CIC about the information so that i dont recieve a RQ?

Thanks.

1. Just curious to know if someone from Calgary got LOT in ecas? My status is "In Process" since July 07, 2015.

2. There aren't too many guys in the forum who applied in April 2015, has got LOT? Are people really Not updating their status OR really people haven't got LOT?

3. What are chances one get test invite without status going into LOT?

 

[Amine Concordia]

I'm the only April applicant from Montreal who did get the status '' In Process '' :-[
