February 2018 - Citizenship Applicant

[danny_scars]

How do we receive oath invitation. Via email? Or Canada post?

I thought it would be a piece of mail but I got mine via e-mail. Might be getting something in the mail.. but nothing yet.
On the e-mail they send the pdf you gotta print and fill out so not sure if they will mail anything..

Dear members,

I am February 2018 applicant and my application is still in process. Contacted CIC couple of week back and they told me that your file forwarded to responsible office should they need any documents or any decision made they will contact you. I started getting panic attack lately due to situation since I heard if normal processing time surpassed the case becomes non routine/cold case and no time limit for such cases, may take years. Any suggestion or advise would be appreciated from respected forum members. Thanks

I am also in same boat as you my friend. We almost have the same timelines. My application went in processing on May 30, 2018 and nothing after that!

Any updates?

I just talked to CIC today since I submitted the infamous CIT0520 last week. The agent told me that after 2015, they don’t use the term “non routine” anymore and that the average processing time for any citizenship application is 12 months regardless of what more forms and documents are being requested during the process.

the moment you call CIC call centre, they have an automated message providing information about "non routine" application. Didn't you hear and tell the agent in their face that why are they still have that wording "non routine" in their automated message??
I'm in the same boat.. I ordered GCMS notes and last time my file was accessed or had notes was in 09/2018.. after that there are no notes or updates.. I will wait 2 more weeks and then give CIC a call and then submit a web form

I didn’t hear “non routine” in the automated message. I actually called CIC because I wanted to find out if I should renew my PR card while waiting. I’m a September 2018 applicant. Had my test in February and 2 weeks after the test, the same officer from the interview called me by the phone and sent me the email with the form CIT0520. I explained that to the agent and the agent said he hoped I’d get the citizenship before September 2019 which will be 12 months from the application. And he said that I can renew the PR card if it will be expiring in less than 9 months. And he said that it’d be a good idea to renew PR around August 2019 if I don’t hear anything by then .


So that was that. Crossing my fingers. Wishing luck to everyone .

Nothing. Same old stuff.

I honestly have stopped caring for it now. My lawyers and me are getting ready for mandamus application in FC next year. We will start our demand letters process in June. Lets hope for the best.

I called CIC on Monday and I was told that my back ground check was completed on March 26th and I am in queue for scheduling a test and after 8 days today, I got invite. This is just to give an idea of timeline to anybody whose background / criminal checks are completed....but of course as everyone says every case is different!!

I am not aware of cit0520 however the agent himself told me that if normal processing time passed than the case become non routine. I googled non routine case and got freaked out
