CIT 0520 after citizenship test

[Edmoney]

Yes, they did

 

[andrew7007]

They had asked me for just colored photocopies of all the pages during my interview after test. I sent them all the pages including the blanks without stamps. I had 3 passports as I travelled a lot and hence to avoid confusion I sent them all the pages. I advise you do the same. I wasn't specifically asked for translated pages.

Yes, they did

 

[Jaroddz]

in my case they asked me for the T4, my record of movement from US, lease agreement, and a copy of my US permanent residency, not sure if someone know how long that process will take? are we on no routine process after issuing cit 0520? i didn't get any RQ or cit 0520 during the processing of my file up to the test.

thanks,

Jaroddz I too did not receive any CIT0520 till test. During test I was just asked to provide colored passport copies of one particular passport by CO because it had too many stamps. After sending that they asked me to send the passport copy of the other passport saying I did not send it and additional NOA for 3 years, ROE and pay stubs. I guess we are non routine now

well that was my guess too, not sure when should i involve the local MP? everything was in order until this CO start asking about US residency (the entire interview was about US) and why my family and i have a green card... i hope it will be over soon,let's wait and see

 

[andrew7007]

Oh I had written a letter to my local MP on enquiring today I came to know he has a new email and contact number and hence I sent him another email today on the new id. I got a prompt response saying he will contact CIC and have an answer for me in 48 hours.

Thanks, base on threads i read the average waiting time after issuing the CIT 0520 is between 2 - 4 months but nothing official yet.

Probably, you can register on CRA website, download previous years Tax Assessment, get your local lease agreement and copy of US Green Card. If I'm not mistaken, the record of movement from FOIA (US Homeland Security) does take approximately 6 weeks.

You may consider sending by courier whatever copies you can to CIC and inform them, the Travel Movement from USA would take sometime. As you have already requested from concerned agency in the USA.

In the interim, request the travel history from CBSA (Canadian Border Security Agency). You never know, CIC might ask that too later.

That way, CIC know you have NOT abandoned the process, just awaiting the Travel Movement Document from USA.

 

[andrew7007]

I submitted my colored copies of passports, Notice of Assessment for 3 years which I printed off online CRA website, My ROE record of employment or paystubs for past 3 years and they received it on Nov 17. So its a long wait and don't get impatient. Just giving you a heads up. I am frustrated as I am jobless and lost an overseas opportunity waiting for my citizenship.

Thanks Canadiandesi2006, here what i've done:
1- Register on CRA website, download previous years Tax Assessment. (Done)
2- Get your local lease agreement and copy of US Green Card. (Done)
3- If I'm not mistaken, the record of movement from FOIA (US Homeland Security) does take approximately 6 weeks. (you're not mistaken, and i got my FOIA 2weeks after requesting it). (Done)
4- You may consider sending by courier whatever copies you can to CIC and inform them, the Travel Movement from USA would take sometime. As you have already requested from concerned agency in the USA. (sent them the first mail without the FOIA report and put alternative documents instead, and sent a second mail just with FOIA). (Done)
5- In the interim, request the travel history from CBSA. (Done) (i also requested the health card history)

in addition as alternative documents i submitted my credit history around 2 entries (the CO had 2 entries that she see them in CBSA list but don't know when i entries US), a letter from my employer, paysubs.

the first mail i sent was received December 14, 2015, and the second one with FOIA was received December 21, 2015.

now just waiting and wondering about the timeline.

I hear you, share your frustration. CIC has weird processing time frame which give lot of heartache to many candidates.
