Citizenship timeline-Saskatoon, SK

[nakash]

I have seen a lot of posts about RQ on here in many forum threads. People talking about receiving RQ after the test. However, isn't the RQ form part of the initial application anyway? I applied it June 2012 and my test is scheduled on January 20, 2014 in Saskatoon. When I applied, I sent the RQ form along with my application. Is this some different RQ that people are talking about on here? Pardon my ignorance.

Nevermind. I was thinking about the "How to calculate residence" form.

Just wondering if I am from Saskatoon, is it sure that my file will go to Saskatoon office.. Is that the way it works? Or it can go anywhere...

Yes, your file will get transferred to Saskatoon once the Sydney Gods decide it is complete. It takes 3.5-4 months for Saskatoon folks to see your case online and then I am not sure when it gets transferred to Saskatoon for further processing.

Hi Everybody,

I am just trying to find out approximately when my wife will get her oath ceremony. She passed her test and interview on Feb 4 in Saskatoon SK and didnt get a letter for the March dates this week. I hope they will have some ceremonies in April.

Hope everything goes well for all of us!

Hello fellow Saskatoonians,

Thanks for starting this thread, its very helpful. I have a question about the RQ, they ask for passport and translation but I have provided this with my application already. Do i need to send it again? Is it ok to call CIC and ask them about this? And if ny1 in Saskatoon did get the translation done from arabic to english can you please give me a reasonably cheaper option, cost wise.

My timeline as follows:
Application rcvd at CIC in Sydney, NS-Nov 28 2013
Letter of Acknowledgement from CIC-March 5 2014
RQ rcvd-Feb 25 2014.

Hi amk, How many pages is that document that needs to be translated. Try Open Door Society on 3rd avenue (that might be your cheapest option). My recommendation would be: try to find someone (a friend of yours) who can translate it for you and then find a Commissioner of Oath/Notorizer? try SGI as well.

Now I have few qestions for you: 1) Is your RQ issued by Sydney or Saskatoon Office?
2) Did you do a lot of travels. Why do you think you got RQ'ed? I am in Saskatoon as well, applied mid Oct 2013.

Hello sept15,

Thank you for your advice, i will call cic tomorrow and confirm with them if i need to do translation again snd if so i will get in touch with open door society.

Regarding RQ, i was really hoping i wouldnt get bcoz i had my pr card renewal interview in june 2013 and the cic officer said he will put in his notes that i meet all requirements. But yes i travelled outside Canada quite a bit and also just moved to Saskatoon last summer, so i should have seen it coming. My RQ has address of Saskatoon office, does that mean my file is transfered? My application status doest show this however.

Have you rcvd letter of acknowledgement from CIC? Good luck!
