what about the new law that became effective since august 2014..I thought citizenship officers do the final judgement in all kinds of citizenship matters
The changes that became effective last August do give officers more powers, however whenever someone is short on physical presence, those files are supposed to be referred to the CJ still. That's what the CIC website said (I don't have time to look for a link now).

Once the new provisions re: 4/6 years physical presence kick in, then there will no longer be a need for a CJ to conduct a hearing.

I see from a previous post there are oath dates on Feb 9, 11, 12 & 13. Is it normal to have so many oath sittings at once? Or is this 'possibly' the start of clearing the back log and speeding up processing?

Speed up? lets hope so. If they really want to speed up, they should schedule oath on every working day like Mississauga.

I applied in July 2013 and still have not received a test invite (no RQ). I think this process is really random.
Correct. I applied in July 2013 and had the test on Dec. 14.
Someone did the test win me on Dec. and was invited for ceremony on Jan15
I believe there is no specific order on files processing.
It needs a lot of luck for citizenship file to be completed

God knows what is going on
keep fingers crossed

So there is a Dec person with Jan oath date . . . Any other Oct - Dec 2014 testers with oath days in the forum?

Still waitng for oath ceremony, call centre agents tell there are no problems with my file all checks are completed and RQ is good. Nobody there can tell me why I am still waiting to be scheduled

ukmike57, what exactly do you mean by "RQ is good"?
my swag says that no more information is required after the RQ and case is granted, now just have to wait for the oath ceremony.


by the way what is RQ and when it is requested?

RQ is the Residency Questionaire, if you are not asked to complete one it means that can get everything they need from the forms and interview
