Dear Luna, although you did not include me into your list, I've got some of your magic right in the early morning, my eCAS has been changed to IN PROCESSLuna-Toronto said:Puda, Sengabo, benk, DenverCo and AsianIndian,
Small technical problem, by mistake I sprayed you all with "Love" potion instead of "magic"
I shall fix the problem and spray you all tomorrow with my magic potion. ;D
Lots of LOVE,
Luna
So, thank you! your magic works!
Good luck to all!
As a matter of fact, family applications seem to have priority over single....Just from observation in the forum (not just Dec. applicant)DenverCO said:Things are moving only for the lucky few

I think Asagalen is the admin for that. He said he was travelling (for a month or something like that, I remember it was a pretty lengthy stay lol). So let's then wait for him to be back and clean it up. It really needs a clean up and update.puda said:
Mine is a family application and it's been stuck on "In Process". It was fast up to that stage....then stalled.AsianIndian said:

I called the damn stupid call center this morning and a lady picked up. She REFUSED to give me any information!!!! She asked when the file was sent and she said you have to wait 24 to 36 months!!! I told her I was able to access my online file up to end of March and have not been able to get in. She told me to just wait for the letter for test invite. I was VERY nice to her and explained that I have a difficult time getting vacation to attend tests and have to submit my vacation 3 months earlier for approval. She was so difficult! I am FRUSTRATED! This is the 3rd time it has happened. All she had to do was to pull my file and see where my file is and thats it...but NOOOOO she had to hold her stand and kept reminding me of the frigging 24 to 36 months crap!
Pissed off!!!

Sorry to hear that. Looking at the recent posts about the call center experiences, it seems that the call center reps are advised not to give any information unless the application is 24 months old. This may be due to the high volume of calls they are receiving.trunorth said:GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2015?? Oh yea??
Fees have increased but process is erratic and unpredictable as ever.
Call the call center and they give you the standard 24 to 36 month crap before you can get info out of them. But in the attached, by 2015 it's supposed to take 12 months? Sure...
Sigh!
Yeah, even now it's a hit and miss, i just read on a discussion board that a guy applied in mid Feb this year and he already has his test date finalized, whereas there are applicants from January 2015 who have no clue....trunorth said:

I think you should go back and say you have never been able to access your file online. Coz imagine they sent you a RQ and you have never heard of it?? That's what I am thinking sometimes when I don't see any update on my application... I will probably call them again in 15 days. Although I feel that it's taking longer now... So I would wait 15 more days if I were you. We have other members here that have been waiting for longer. (Almost 2 months)Zoro2PhD, AA-Dec14, kevink1, arrrrmin, NewtonUA and ConfusednScared what about you guys?? Any updates??? You have been waiting for longer than me! (Been waiting for 30 days today)
Hi Guys, What I don't understand is the assumption by fellow forum members that if December applicants are not posting on the forum or updating the December spreadsheet, then it means they are no longer active?AsianIndian said:
. We all are not compelled to report every tiny un-useful information just for sake of posting on the forum. Applicants giving specific information such as given by forum members who have successfully given their test "thecoolguysam" and "yyzhuang" or by "Fonkou' about the fingerprint request he received, are useful guidelines for the rest of us who are on this journey. There is a lot more useful information posted by many members apart from the ones I indicated above but the ones mentioned above were done only to emphasis and acknowledge the usefulness of this forum and I apologize if I have not mentioned all the forum members who contributed useful information.
The light heartedness such as Wearing suits to await AOR or wearing Bermuda shorts to receive test invite or spreading of Magic sprinkles spread by some forum members gives a human touch to this journey as it makes you realize that everyone though far away from each other is still a member of the fraternity
I cannot vouch for other forum members who are not posting or updating their details on the spreadsheet, but I for one visit this page as well as the December spreadsheet everyday. There is no update on my case from CIC and as reported by others, cases are stuck "in process" or "received". There is nothing anybody can do to make them move any faster then when and if CIC decides to move them to the next stage.
As indicated time and time again in many posts by forum senior "DonValley" and "Eileen", there is no useful correlation data to be obtained from spreadsheets other then the information of the forum members and where their individual case is at. One cannot get any data that would shed any light on how CIC works on each case so that one can say with certainty "I applied on December 30th 2015 , CIC will Send me AOR on 15th January, 2015, Transfer to local office on 20th Feb 2015 , test on 12th March 2015, and oath on 1st April 2015"
I also find it quite amazing that people complain that applicants from other months i.e. Jan, Feb Mar 2015 are moving faster then the December month applicants. One has to realize that every applicant case is different (if one reads the forums) and therefore it should be evident that everyone's case will move forward at a different speed.
In life one always needs to look at people who are less fortunate then oneself to appreciate the blessings one has. The applicants who are "transferred to local office" should feel more fortunate then those "in process" who in turn should feel more fortunate then those in "received" and these ones should find themselves more fortunate then those who do not even have "AOR".
My own family applied in August 2014, their case was sent to PSU and as per the forum once the case went to PSU there was no time factor applicable to the case to move forward. Fortunately within 2 months the case moved from PSU to Local office. Now they are waiting for the test invite. I applied in December 2014 and I have only AOR from CIC, no further updates.
One should not get obsessed by the ECAS updates or Call center updates because the life we live is not on a "PAUSE' while our citizenship application is in process.
I hope I don't offend anyone with above ranting, but I realized that if I don't post, I might be removed from the December spreadsheet as I have no update from CIC other then "Received" since February 27, 2015. :-[

No updates from me too since the "transferred to Local office on March 11" stage. Waiting patiently with fingers and toes crossed. All the best to all our December friends.
