3 possible ways to move your case forward:
1) Find your MP email/office and write him/her explaining delays and the situation http://www.lop.parl.gc.ca/ParlInfo/compilations/houseofcommons/memberbypostalcode.aspx?Menu=HOC
2) order ATIP (which you did), wait and see what is there, by I guess by that time you will be done.
3) write specific cic enquiry (letter similar to that one for MP) https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
You could do any permutations but preferably : write letter to MP - the same content letter as a CIC enquiry.
Is it still possible to order case specific enquiry if the application is still in the "normal" processing time ? I spoke with Call agents and they told me that case specific enquiry is pretty much the same as ATIP (not sure I can trust them on that).
Also can anyone explain how can I request face-to-face appointment with local office, i would like to hear from them how they justify this delay.

As I already mentioned, I'm in the similar position as tsooma, My test was in June and since then I've tried everything. got previous MP involved before the elections, and nothing happened.

Here are few things you need to consider,

1) Did you clearly meet the eligibility criteria ie had required number of physical days presence in Canada when applied for Citizenship.

2) Major cause for delay is shortage of number of physical days when applied or frequent overseas travel. Secondly, if you RCMP and other clearance / renewal is awaited.

3) Have you requested ATIP so far, that would tell you if you had enough physical days at the time of application.

4) Request a fresh ATIP, it takes 30 days but then at least you would know what's happening.

I guess it isn't possible..., at least I never heard about that and the only fact known to me is that MP can talk to them via their line. (by the way ,many of them (MPs) changed since elections ). Case enquiry is just a way to send your request with concerns to cic. I am not sure if the response will be that detailed as ATIP, yet it's one the possible ways to communicate. Good luck!

Hi Guys,

I noticed that some of you were interviewed in Montreal, which is my office.
I called CIC and was told that I was sent a final notice to appear, would you be so kind to share some of the key interview questions from your experience.
I mean interview questions not the test questions.

Thanks for your help.

Each case Interview question is different best policy is to study your file and order ATIP report to see why they call for interview , if there is any issue with your file then do your homework and and honestly thats the best way

hope it helps

The interview questions are normal questions, such as your date of birth, country of birth when did you first come to Canada, how many kids you have, what are their names, what's your previous and current address, your educational background, your nature of work and family etc.

Trust me, these are very basic questions, the CIC officer try to verify if the details on your applications matches with what you answers now and assess your language skills, very simple and mostly general questions. Nothing complicated or difficult questions at all.

Dont worry about the interview, its as easy chat as you meet someone first time, relaxed and casual manner..... Take it easy ;)
