Your applications are in their office, sending a third application would be counter-productive. They might flag you and that might cause you a lot of extra processing time. My advice is to wait, if you’re losing it, then call your MP maybe they can help but that will just help you make sure Sydney has your package. Unfortunately it’s a matter of luck, some people will have their citizenship in 4 months, others will have it in 12

Hello everyone
Is it okay if on my citizenship application and the physical presence calculator, I sign with my full name instead of a signature? I do not know if it makes sense but I spoke to a CIC agent yesterday and she told me that I could not put my full name as a signature. Thank you for any input

I have signed everything with my full name as I don't have a signature. It's ok. I've got PR. And with my citizenship application, I got AOR.

Should I contact the MP after Mid-January or after they start processing December applications?

No. Just go to your local Passport office and demand for a Canadian Passport! That way, you will be ahead of everyone else. You come off as rude and careless - spamming all threads with the same posts for days now - and you were politely asked to stop. And here you are complaining about people not being nice.

No benefit of contacting MP. They get same response. My MP send me the email that IRCC send to him, it says that I have to wait for three months, after that IRCC can look for my application based on MP request. But if you do not get AOR after two or three months then contacting MP may be useful.

Did you get your AOR?

I did not mean to email the Minister because I did not get AOR in 7 weeks; you got it wrong. I was thinking of informing the Minister to follow with the IRCC so that their officers process files as they are received like: FIFO and not random file processing as they choose. Please use proper words and look at your verbiage while using words like: 'next level of lunancy' (should be lunacy btw)
I beleive, what I mentioned has all levels of sanity in it.
That is good idea

That is what everyone, who did not receive AOR, wants to know.

Hello All,

FYI we have applied for citizenship on Oct. 12 (Vancouver, after Bill C-6, family of 2) presence days: 1238. This is what CIC application status shows for both of us:
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 16, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 30, 2017
So our application is not in progress yet?

Is this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cfQUVB3j56QktacolbsAxpNlOrvk2uFGZzm_ZFCnfg/edit#gid=671336796 the correct spreadsheet to follow?

All the best to everyone
