about 70% of new immigrants settle in ontario & most of citizenship files submitted in Greater toronto area, so govt appointed more judges, more officer for GTA. but last last few years so many immigrants moved to alberta, saskatchewan from toronto but cic doesnt have enough man power to do cictizenship files these new people. may be in near future cic will be faster in sk followed by alberta when govt will see more applicants in these 2 province too.

if you check this forum for citizenship applicants, you will see most of the memebers are from Ontario.

People applied in April 2014, already get test, in GTA I guess.

if they can speed up the process, it should be our turn first, first come first service,
why keep us waiting for 1 year?

1.We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 15, 2011.


2.We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 15, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.


3.We started processing your application on November 22, 2012.

Note, that none of the events below were updated on eCAS, I actually had to get it from the call centre

4. File transferred to S'toon office on the 19/06/2013

5. Fingerprint Request sent on the 28/06/2013

6. Fingerprints submitted electronically on the 04/07/2013

7. Security clearance obtained 16/07/2013

This on ecas

8. Letter to write citizenship test on the 24/09/2013 received on the 10/09/2013.

Wrote test, passed and awaiting ceremony. They said it generally takes 2-3 months after test to attend oath if no further information is requested.
Why it took one year for them just to start processing. so weird

I found that SK office did not schedule tests from May to August, this year and last year.

I hope it could be faster
