Likely fingerprints.

I got the same line added to ecase... I have passed test in July....We sent you correspondence on August 19, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

Asking experts what docs might be required?

Got mine today, it was a fingerprint request

Unfortunately, my wife received an RQ (Request for Supplementary Evidence) today (letter dated 12-Aug-2015). Here's 3 docs they requested:

1) Any passport valid/expired, that were valid between 2011-10-06 and 2015-02-20. You must provide a colour photocopy of every page.
Note: All PP stamps/entries, including visas and permits, must be translated to English/French.
Q: She has only 2 entry/exit stamps on her 2 passports that are partly in Arabic (given in UAE) since we traveled from Canada to Bangladesh via UAE. Do we have to translate these? Everything else is in English.

2) Provincial Personal Health Claim Summary
Q: How long does it take?

3) Entry-exit records/ record of movement from USA for the period Oct 2011 - Feb, 2015.
Note: A full entry-exit record is required. Providing I-94 form travel history only will be considered incomplete.
Q: How long does FOIA online request take?

She was given 30-day (8 days already passed just to receive the letter) period to comply. Otherwise she should call CIC.

Surprisingly, when she had her interview on Aug 7 at CIC-London, the interviewer never bothered to ask anything about her residency. All she talked about was what she does etc. She only had few trips to US with me (some are not included as they are day trips). She was even told that she would get her oath in mid-October.

I would really appreciate if someone can answer my questions. Thanks.

Provincial health history summary took less than 2 weeks for me. Do you know the process? If not, I can post here. Thecoolguysam has previously posted about FOIA.

Ecas just changed to Decision Made this morning. No update in the note section (last thing is still about the test invite letter).

Here's hoping the oath date isn't during the 3 days we plan to travel to see family in Oct (probably good I've held off buying plane tickets).

Finally DM this morning.

I called SSCC number and I was told it can take up to 1 month; but generally it's shorter. I filled out Request for Access to Personal
Claims History Information form and will mail it to Kingston address today.

Re: FOIA, I already sent an online request. I heard it can take a week for some; but months for others. Fingers crossed!

Time to start reading the book and getting everyday in order. Exciteddd.

Congrats Samreentariq!!

Similar timelines for us as well and similar ATIP report.
Now, I can be hopeful, but since our office is Ottawa, may be slightly a longer wait...
Citizenship counts.ca has good apps for practice questions and these are mostly
straight off the book...

Congrats Sameertariq, i feel hopefull too now.

Should i request for ATIP? or is it pointless now, i heard it takes a month.

I see that you went to 'In process' on June 3rd which is a good 2 weeks before I went to IP. Personally I think you should order one, yes it does take a month to get it but at least it will show where or at what stage your file is in. ATIP has been my biggest friend I ordered only 2 3 months apart and they gave me a pretty accurate picture of what stage my file was on, taking that info and matching my timelines with other members timelines close to my area helped sort of predict when to expect the file to move to the next stage.

I am in Scarborough so I would expect it to be here, I will know more details once I get the letter, no letter yet just the ECAS update.
