Hi everybody
I am new in this forum. My situation is peculiar. 1st I sent them my application in Dec 2012 after completing the mandatory residency requirements. After 3 months they returned the application stating that I have to include the proof of language proficiency even though this requirement was not there when I applied. I had only 6 months to go for completing my under-grad from University of Toronto. I waited for 6 months and again in July 2013 I submitted a fresh application where I included the transcripts from the University. I kept on checking whether the status was appearing in the eCAS and in January 2014 I went to the CIC office in Toronto since I couldn't get through to them in the call centre. They told me that there was a possibility that my application is misplaced since there that was a huge backlog. They suggested that in case I did not receive any acknowledgement even after 6 months I should prepare a fresh application package and send it. Accordingly I prepared a fresh package is on February 2, 2014 and the application reached Sydney on February 7 2014. In the meantime there was also an increase in the fee and I included the increased fee along with the application.
In the meantime, I had applied for my renewal of PR card which I have received and the only thing that is appearing in the eCAS are information about PR card renewal and there is nothing about my citizenship application. Other than trying to get through to the call centre what do you guys suggest I should do.
