Calgarians,

I'm trying to get some current and historical timeline data for the Calgary office. Please share your timelines only and only if your local office is Calgary. Hopefully we should be able to identify some trends and forecast future processing time. Thanks.

Thanks BOXSIR for sharing your timeline. Hopefully we will be able to get some more timelines in the coming days. Will be nice if we can get some from late 2012 and early 2013 or at least people who have received test notice.

Although there is another thread for Calgary called Normal Processing Time Calgary office but I will post my timeline here too.

Applied April 29, 2013
In process July 9, 2013
Transferred to local office Dec 18, 2013 (Calgary)

Called CIC yesterday they told me that since I didn't get an RQ I should get scheduled for a citizenship test within 18 months from the date I applied (i.e October 29, 2014) if not, I should call CIC call centre and they will take action (Whatever that means).

Btw I noticed that Calgary office is currently sending test invitations to people who's files have been transferred to local office in October 2013

Hi a.R.,

Thank you so much for starting this thread. I am sure it will help us to have a better idea about the "current " processing trends of Calgary office.

I am a future Calgarian applicant and for sure , I will post my timelines here as soon as I apply.

Hi Everyone,

I've been able to compile all the timelines provided by the users on this thread. Please update this document a regular basis. To really establish a trend for these timelines we need more users sharing their timeline. Would be a great help if we can manage to get some timelines for people who have already received their interview and oath notification on ECAS. Ask family and friends. Thanks, hope this helps.

So turns out I'm not allowed to post links, don't know why (maybe cause i'm a newbie). Anyone know why is that and how I can post links?? I can email that excel file to someone else and they can post it on the thread.
