A colleague of mine mentioned sometime ago his application took I guess more than 15 months including more than 6-7 months decision made status and after contacting his MP nothing changed and the response he heard was that CIC will get back to him in ‘due course’ after completing their process and he was told -I don’t know by who and to what extent it is accurate?- that citizenship is a privilege not a right and it does not mean he meets the requirements that he ‘must’ get it and he has no ‘right’ to compare himself with ‘other’ applicants. His advice was to keep a low profile and stop communicating with CIC directly or indirectly (through MP) because nothing will change nor speed up anything and to keep always in mind that it is not a ‘right’ it is a ‘privilege’ regardless the completeness of your application.
