Feb 2015 citizenship applicants

Re: Feb 15 applicants

Canadiandesi2006, I understand buffer days for people who don't travel but in my case I came as a refugee claimant in 2010, got my hearing in 2011 and of course not left since then. I prefer to not travel on the passport of the country I have run away from!

I will apply with 1100 days but as far as my understanding is I meet all the requirements, what is your rationale? Judging from your timeline you are amongst the people in 2012 who got mass RQed I don;'t think they are doing that anymore....correct me if I am wrong.

You are good to apply with 1100. Dont wait a month, thats too long.

Guys any help on my previous question regarding the residence calculates dates. Which date am I to put the arrival date in to destination country which is stamped on passport or the actual date I travelled from Toronto. (Due to transit they are not the same sometimes a day or even 2 later then actual travel day+ the time difference)

Absence dates pertain to Canada so the date you leave Canada and the date you arrive in Canada are the ones you input in the residence calculator.

How did you guys put your photos in the application? Just loose or in the same little envelope from the photographer?

How much did it cost to send application?

It depens on factors as : courrier or regular mail, weight, the place you are sending the application from, etc ?
For our application 2 adults+ 1 minor and only sent the documents on the checklist from Montreal, the cost was about $35 using Purolator and I requested a signature on delivery. Package was delivered the following day ( less than 24hours).
Anyway this is peanut compare to the application fee.

True.
I am single applicant sending requested docs only from Toronto.

If your current passport was issued 5 years ago, copy of the biopage of this passport is sufficient.
The Client Id can be found on your PR card.

Hey Everybody, I have received my Acknowledgment Receipt on Jan 20th through Email. What does that mean? I thought you have to receive a book in mail rather than E-mial..... One more thing, I checked my application status and it says my application was transferred to Surrey, B.C. office. what does that mean too? LOL I guess I have no idea whit the steps. Should I be studying for the test? My UBC finals are in a month and a half, so I gotta know sooner if anything special is happening.
Really appreciate it guys if you could help me out here....

Hi Kia,

What is your timeline? when did you send your application? The Citizenship Process folows about 6 steps

1) You mail your completed application to the address CIC provides. All you get is confirmation from Canada Post or if you used FedEX etc. You can also request signature for peace of mind that it was received.

2) Usually after about 2-4 months depends you receive a letter of acknowledgement or AoR which confirms your application is now in queue with a Citizenship Officer.

3) Next You should get your book in email with the AoR to study for the test, your online tracker or ECAS should also be active so you can check online in what status is your application.

4) Your file is transferred to your local office who will handle all further steps.

5) Invite to Take the test (time frames from region to region and local office involved)

6) Oath invitation.
