CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE TABLE (COAST TO COAST)

[Vitelle]

Here is my timeline. I hope it helps everyone:

Became Permanent Resident: July 23, 2003

Citizenship application sent: July 5, 2011
Application Received: July 8, 2011
In Process: March 21, 2012
AOR & Discover Canada: July 31, 2012
Test and RQ: August 28, 2012
Reviewed by the judge: June 20th, 2014

I had the test done on August 28th, 2012 and the interviewer handed me the RQ right after the interview. I sent all the documentation 2.5 weeks after the test. I haven't heard any news back from them since. I called CIC this morning and the officer said "Your file was sent to the judge on June 20th, 2014 for final review." He also mentioned that currently there is no further delay so I should hear the decision soon.

Hello fellow applicants,

Glad news, received the letter to write the test and appear for interview today. It was dated 18/July, received it on 22/July 2014. eCase has not been updated as of the time I posted this message. My test date will be 12/Aug/2014 and my local office is Calgary. As a recap these are my timelines,

Applied first on 6/December/2012, got the package returned Jan end as the documents sent was insufficient. Applied back on 7/March/2013. Received a letter of enquiry (to the best of myknowledge not an RQ as it didnt mention RQ anywhere in the letter and it didnt request any supplementary documents) asking to be more specific and clear about my absences from Canada since I become PR which is when I first landed. Sent the letter and followed up on January 2014. Through agents an approximate Local Office Transfer (LOT) could be benchmarked at 28/Dec/2013 as the agent did mention to callback if nothing is heard back before 28/Sept/2014 which is the 9th month mark from the date of LOT.

i feel i've come only half way as the time to oath is the hardest and most testy. Please feel free to ask any other questions, I will keep you posted about further developments. And, I got to dust up the discover canada PDF now Wink Grin its been ages I read it. I also came to know that there's an audio file available now, VOW! is it amazing or what!

I'm confused, you stated that you were being sent the oath invitation to be held on June 6th, but you got RQ after the test, so have you gotten your oath or not?
