Any news here? Has anyone received oath after submitting CIT0520? I am just curious as I still have not received any communication from CIC since the submission of additional documents back in January 2015.

I have been a silent member for a while now.. reading about others journey... my timeline is as below

Application being processed in Mississauga
Application received: March 28, 2014
Started processing: May 12, 2014.
Letter for Test sent: August 15, 2014
Test written: 16th Sept, 2014
Got CIT520 on test Date

Sent requested docs on 2nd Oct, 2014.

Called CIC multiple times after that. Yesterday the CIC agent told me to call after 16th March to check for my application status.

You are not even a citizen yet and you received a voter registration in the mail?

Don't feel too bad, there are much worse cases, much worse than mine even:

Applied: August 14, 2012
In Process: March 15, 2014
Test: September 11, 2014
CIT 520: September 11, 2014
Responded to CIT 520: October 2, 2014
f*ck-all since then.
Local office: Deadmonton

Yeah, that's more than two years to even get the test invitation (a routine case up to that point).

I spoke to the call centre today, and the lady said that on March 11 it will be 6 months since they requested CIT 520 and to call them then and they'll inquire with the local office. Prior to that all I was told is to wait the 36 months.

Has anyone else been told they can request a status update through the call centre at the 6 month mark after a certain event?

Edmonton is quite possibly the worst local office. Waiting around two years for a test date was the norm for 2012 applicants (although I was extra "lucky" for some reason). They have improved the routine application wait times lately, but seem to have put the old non-routine applicants on a shelf somewhere.

I know of a case that took nearly 4 years total and ended up with a rejection just recently.

Hi all,

Anything new here? just wanted to see if there is anyone who received CIT0520 and was scheduled for oath. It seems as though they are not reviewing these, how sad.
