February 2014 Citizenship Applicantions
- Thread starter itsmytrack
- Start date
Just wanted to share the fact that we became Canadian citizens today as we had our oath ceremony earlier today. We applied in February 2014 and our application time from start to finish was 195 days. When we sent off our application earlier this year we thought the routine time of 24 months would probably take us into 2016 before we could call ourselves Canadians.
Our journey has come to a fruitful end much sooner than we could have imagined however I would like to wish all who are still awaiting their citizenship the very best and may the day come soon when you too can become Canadian citizens.
Good luck to all and the very best to you all for the future.

Hie everyone. Glad to join this forum, its always nice to share experiances regarding Canadian citizenship process.
Application received February 10th 2014 , In process March 28th 2014, single Applicant , No RQ, travelled only twice to my country of birth, maintained the same address since 2009 and the same occupation. I called CIC in june and was told my application is in "TRANSIT" to my local office which is Calgary. Now, my questions are, does "in transit" mean its still in Syndey on its way to Calgary or is it in Calgary but awaiting to be received?
My other question is I ordered my ATIP report and I received it and its 18 pages long!! Nowhere does it say , "In transit", and it has an assigned officer with a number on it.Jurisdiction is Calgary, Responsible office is Calgary,All security and immigration checks are done and have been passed. No hearing, no test scheduled. Case stage: Assess Case status:OPEN. My question is, does this mean my file is in Calgary now? Or how else can I tell since the some of the dates for actions taken on my file where right on the 28th of March the initial processing date?Any idea as to how long a Calgary applicant like myself will have to wait for a test date?
Another thing, CIC now has a single decision make model, and with the number of ceremonies Calgary has been having since August the 1st, would anyone here agree that Calgary CIC is moving faster than ever and possibly all 2013 Calgary applicants will be cleared off sooner rather than later? Would it be too optimistic or realistic if an applicant like myself received a test date this fall at least?? Thanks everyone, your comments are appreciated.

It takes 30 days, from date of receipt of request...its just a little under infact, but its quite a wait though! I know, I was surprised mine was 18 pages long, that was a lot of info, frankly I find it a bit confusing, I cant tell exactly which page shows the most recent activity, they all seem to have been updated on the same date as my processing date and a few pages have been updated sometime in May .
also nothing for me till now ..applied in Feb. 13, 2014 ...test done in June 18 and waiting for the oath invitation ..Niagara office
I just received a letter for my test and my wife's test.
It is in 2 weeks. Montreal. Applied in February.
What is surprising is that my status online is still "received"
