Backlog will be cleared by Mar. 31, 2016

[osamaamany]

As per the new Citizenship law , the backlog for any one who applied before April 01, 2015 will be cleared by Mar. 31, 2016.

My question , does that mean all type of file (routine / non-routine) ? Also does that mean all old files including (2011-2012-2013) ? if a file could not be concluded for the last 4 years example (2011 - 2015) then how it will be cleared within 12 month ? if this is possible then what were the reason(s) behind keeping it collecting dust for the last 4 years ????

I am a non-routine file due to (only) copy of my passport required after I did my test last June 2014. I applied on Feb. 2014 and still waiting for oath.

Hope my case will be part of the one year clearance process

According the CIC website, the targeted 12 months processing time is ONLY for routine applications. Unfortunately, the others will take longer...

*CIC's target is to maintain an inventory where most applications are less then a year old. Non-routine/complex applications will continue to take longer to process

Neither this nor that ...I submitted a copy of my new + old passport full pages ...even in the interview both passports were available and the officer was free to take whatever copy needed .. And she did ..however I was surprised when a copy requested ... And the funny thing I came to know about this when I ordered my first ATIP after 2 month ..local office pretended they sent a letter requiring this which never reached me and I asked CIC to ask the local office to resend the letter again ...and this letter never reach till today

But I to the initiative and send the copy ,y self with explanation letter that I never received the assumed letter and that copies were provided previously ..

Any way ..in Feb 2017 I will complete 36 month ...let's see till that time what will happen
