This is called RQ ( residence questionnaire). They will probably ask you to collect some documents to proof that you were living in Canada, like you rent/ lease agreement, car insurance, bank statement etc.

He already said its a fingerprint request, not RQ.

I am not pretty sure what they mean by Fingerprinting!! Maybe it depends on the nature of the application, but for curiosité of mine, how did you apply for fingerprinting?

Your name or similar name shows up during background check and CIC needs fingerprint to make sure that it is not you. Nothing to worry about if you are not on the criminal list system.

Oops sorry! You do not need to worry about finger prints

Any police station should be able to process this request.

They asked me to do a digital fingerprint which will be processed the same day and sent to RCMP and they send it back to them , they give you a list of offices that you can do them and I did it in 55 town centre court.

So I called CIC again this morning as per the advice of some of you guys (to call in the morning lol). And I didn't even have to lie that I couldn't access the eCAS. I just told him that I was calling to check the status of my application. And, unlike the agent from last week, he asked me for my info and accessed my file. Basically no new information. He just said that my file is still in Sydney and hasn't been transferred yet, but that it was complete with all the documents needed. I failed to ask him about the background checks. Do you think I should ? Anyway I am 46 days post AOR, and the record right now is 56 days. So I'll keep waiting and see if I break that record on Friday of next week. Anyway, I am calling them again on June 5th if I don't have a test date by then...
In the meantime, I wish good luck to some of you who are writing their test tomorrow !

Sorry for the long wait. I know it is stressful. Do they start the background check in Sidney or the local office?

First I need to mention something for you guys. really appreciated if let me know ur idea. Actullay, the following case is bit made me worry. When I filed my application, just one week after, I realized that I had 2 mistakes in section of the ''previous history of 4 years before the date of your signed application'', section 6 of the application form, Citizenship.

In fact, instead of typing 2011-**-**, I have typed 2012-**-**. The point is, if the officer follows the dates, she/he can understand what is going on with this report of the previous four years just before my application (I mean the dates typed in order). Regarding this matter, I called the CIC call centre to let them know what the origin of the problem is. The lady said that if necessary, the agent would call you later for clarification, but NOTHING YET!

My question is,

Can this histroy of error cause me trouble during interview, RQ or whatever since I have completed the residency requirements to be here in Canada for 1095 days?


My current situation for citizenship: We have started processing your application on 09 April 2015.

Thanks in advance,

I'm glad the early morning call worked for you! It seems your file is ok, may just had a slow officer. Be more patient, your day will come!

Friends, I am sooooo happy today ;D ;D

I received the long awaited news about my Citizenship ceremony here in Australia. I will be attending the Citizenship ceremony on 21 May 2015 and finally become an Aussie. It took more than 9 years for me to become a Citizen of this wonderful country as i came here as a student.

I will be moving to Canada after that and then the mission(Canadian Citizen) starts. My wife already has her Canadian Citizenship application in process.

All in all it took 4 months for the Citizenship process to be done and dusted here in Australia.

I wish everyone here and my wife a speedy processing for their Citizenship application.

Harry,

Wonderful news! Patience pays off my friend!

We are aware of your spouse's application and hopefully she gets the test date before your Oath!

It is matter of weeks for you to be here then...

All the best
