Hi. Got my ATIP back today. Can anyone explain what's going on here?

Notes: 1
Created Date: 2014/07/22
Created by: WT9316
Updated Date: 2014/07/22
Updated by: WT9316
Type: General
Responsible Office: St. Clair CIC
Description: Applicants passed first test however residence issues/concerns not resolved at time of interview. File is being returned to RQ queue to be assigned to an Officer for review/analysis. FPAT required. WT

I haven't received any mail from them since the citizenship test, which was taken March 18th, 2014. Last time I talked to the Call Centre, they said I don't need to send in anything, just wait.

Been a resident since 2009 and left Canada for a total of 23 days in the last 5 years. I also just applied for a PR card renewal, which I am now starting to worry about as well.

Citizenship application filed on November, 2011.

Thanks.

My two concerns about the interview are:

1. The officer was confused about the expiration dates on my passports. She mistakenly thought I had a 3 month gap between passport renewals, but in fact I renewed my passport 3 months before its expiry date. I was caught off guard and wasn't able to explain it properly.

2. During the interview, the officer asked to me to run through the last 5 years of my life, which I found surprisingly hard to do off the top of my head. I messed up a few dates such as which month of which year I started such and such job, and those were written on my application right in front of her.

Hi kimchi_chiage,
1-I think you shouldn't worry, it is very normal we got nervous at Citizenship interview and I am sure they consider that , they see that every day
2-Your time line and ATIP comment is very similar to mine, so please let us in contact here to follow up.
3-Call CIC centre to ask about FPAT situation , if that is normal to every one or preparing for judge interview
4-What is the hearing status in your ATIP ?, mine is not required

Cheers

36 months from which date? From the date you first submit your application?

Yes, 36 months from the date I submitted my application that what the last agent said, but I know he is wrong, it should be 35 months as per the current posted time line.
If you have time , please ask another Agent about FPAT , and if it is a good sign for the oath or it is another long delay

Cheers

@ Janoo, thank you very much, so do you think that FPAT is a routine procedure to pass to the CJ before approving or it is usually means there is a problem and needs to be resolved by the CJ ?

Cheers
