Hello all, Calgary applicant here,
App delivered Oct 16th
AOR :Nov 8
still not in process

getting a bit worried.

PS: I also had PR renewal in process, which is now decision made, do you think that could be a cause of the delay?

thanks

Request for fingerprints Jan 17th (doh!). Completed today.

Apparently I was sent correspondence acknowledging receipt of my application, and a study book called Discover Canada. Except I never received any of this. Should I be bothered that this piece of mail apparently got lost? I just downloaded the PDF of the book to study.

No, they normally don't sent the book throughout snail mail but you can order a hard copy for free. :)

Hi, did you get finger print request through postal mail?
Where did you do the finger print?

Yes it was postal mail. They sent a letter with instructions on where I could go, what to bring, etc. I went to Canadian Legal Services in Calgary. Pretty simple process they take your prints and send it off where it needs to go. Cost me $53.

Calgary Applicants: need your help and input

Hello Everyone,
I got hold of IRCC agent and asked about my citizenship application status. My application has been in process since Dec 19 2017. She told me that the application has been transferred to Calgary office and undergoing background check and awaiting test date finalization in Calgary. Wanted to know if someone in the group went thru same and what do they mean by background check. Also any idea how long is this process before i get test invite call. The test invite is thru call email or letter.
 
Looks like Calgary is starting to get backed up now... I expected the test invite last week at 35 days after IP. Ugh. More waiting.

I went to the same place, after I got my letter requesting fingerprints yesterday. The Calgary Commissionaires office had some average Google reviews, so I went with Canadian Legal. Booked online and was a piece of cake!

I was told exact same by Call center agent. She also said no one touch the file in Calgary as of yet and there are no written comments/Notes.
