April 2015 citizenship Applicants

[thecoolguysam]

It can take 1 to 4 months to receive AOR, so please be patient.

I've been calling CIC every day of this week, they all the time say the same thing, they are opening the applications received on 24th April 2015.

What is wrong with you? CIC call centre is not your personal assistant.

Canada's citizenship laws will be fully in force as of June 11, 2015

Folks, it looks like June 11 for Bill C-24 to come into effect. Just come across the link a few minutes ago.

Here is the Text:

"Remaining Citizenship Act reforms coming into force
OTTAWA, June 5, 2015 /CNW/ - A final suite of reforms to strengthen and modernize Canada's citizenship laws will be fully in force as of June 11, 2015. The changes – part of a package of measures approved by Parliament last year – ensure new citizens can fully and quickly participate in Canada's economy and Canadian society.

The first set of provisions that came into force last summer to strengthen Canadian citizenship and speed up application processing times are already paying off. New citizenship applications are being finalized in a year or less, and it is expected that the backlog of older files will have been eliminated by the end of this fiscal year. Individuals who submitted a citizenship application before April 1, 2015 will have a decision by March 31, 2016.

Among the many benefits of the government's citizenship reforms, the new provisions will deter citizens of convenience – those who become citizens for the sake of having a Canadian passport to return to Canada to access taxpayer-funded benefits that come with citizenship status, without having any attachment to Canada, or contributing to the economy."

Still waiting for my AOR.

Good luck to us all.

Individuals who submitted a citizenship application before April 1, 2015 will have a decision by March 31, 2016.Two questions;
1- is submitted means sent date or receiving date (mine was sent March 30 and received April 2)
2- what about applications between April and June, 2015

It probably means that applications before April 1st could take up to a year to reach a decision. It may be less for ones submitted after that date. I noticed that the whole process generally takes less than a year nowadays.

Dude it means, considering the cut off date June 11th, all the applicants who applied before April 1, 2015 will get their citizenship by March 31, 2016.
