CIC office in Edmonton-Alberta

[erikag]

Hi guys... I have heard nothing yet!!!

Tigmag, Jaycrew - Did you know that the local office has 8 months to schedule the test after the date of transfer? I have just talked to a very helpful agent who did not mind chatting a little with me and was not in a hurry to hang up. If you do not hear from CIC before the end of September/beginning of October, give CIC a call and they will send a message to your local office. They will only do it if you call them and ask them ...

genshez, you could also call them in about a month ...

Keep up posted!

Thanks erikag.. i called them today and was advised that my application is still in the "background security check" process.. I am a Syrian citizen so I assume the current events are causing extra diligence in my background check. Hopefully i hear back soon

Hi
I have written my citizenship test on March 15, 2012 in Edmonton and still did not hear about them. I called the call centre on June 20, 2012 and she told me to call back if I do not hear within the next month. I could not call the call centre back because it is always busy.
Is there anyone else who is having the same problem?

Hi guys.. sorry to ask again, but your opinion is my application still within reasonable processing time? I wish someone from CIC would be able to help shed some light on my application status. Any suggestions on how to proceed at this stage?

Please see my post on the top of this page. Your test invitation should arrive soon, otherwise I would call the Call Centre ....

Received oath letters today for Mid-October. ;D

 

[erikag]

Congratulations! You will be a happy Canadian citizen soon!

 

[jaycrew]

Congrats nwtspam!!

All: I noticed the website changed the 19 months predicted processing time to 21 months. Anyone know anything more about this?

 

[erikag]

Jaycrew, can you think of any reason why you have not received a test invitation letter yet? I am starting to get worried that this process will take forever for us!

This is quite frustrating..

I hear Edmonton has no citizenship judge does anyone know when this will change?

Also my file has been in Edmonton CIC office since January 27, when is a good time to order my CAIPS/GMCS notes? How does ordering these work?

Always appreciate your time in reading and replying to my posts.

You have the right to order your GMCS report anytime you want. I order mine every 30 days to keep myself informed. The call centre is next to useless. Don't waste your time with them.
