Well I am really upset with my Ctznshp application stuff with CIC. Its like 11th Month going on. Whenever I called CIC agent told me that they still haven't got my security clearance yet. I asked him how long would that take and He replied as an uncertain time length. CIC agent also told me on ph that my application is currently in your local immigration office for further step. Its really frustrating to wait. I done with my fingerprinting on June 20th and didn't hear anything from them till now. They didn't even schedule me for an exam either. I e-mailed My local immigration office and they told me that they will schedule an exam once they receive my security clearance from a third party.

Any recommendation or information regarding my case would be highly appreciated.

So what do you want to hear from us other forum members? Words of compassion maybe? More precise and specific information than those given by the IRCC?

Wait! That’s my only advice to you.

Spend time with the family, study Discover Canada, enjoy Canadian winter.

Given that the security clearance processing started the day they received my application, it took about 18 months for it to be completed. I was never even asked for additional documents or fingerprints.

Honestly, there is nothing you can do but wait and try to not think about it too much, however frustrating it is. I'm still waiting a month after my security clearance was completed for a decision - but at this point I've stopped letting the actions of incompetent bureaucracies annoy me too much:D

Hi TheRajputian , were you able to get security clearance and if yes, then how long did it take?
