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

Which agent told you? You mean the officer at the interview ? That’s what I was told by the agent on phone at CIC call Center about cases not being called “non routine” anymore after 2015. Actually , if you search on Canada.ca site, they mentioned similar thing too as in if someone applied before 2015 and still hadn’t got the citizenship yet, it would’ve been considered non routine .


Every case and situation is different. Do not worry too much. That’s what I keep telling myself and others too. At the very least, we can keep renewing our PRs to get with our lives while waiting .

That agent was obviously lying ( or didn't know what he/she was doing), the 'Non-routine' term is clearly listed on IRCC's website and Q&A section, also the recorded message when you call IRCC - before you get a live person, it always says 'if your application in non-routine, it will take longer to process, and you may contact us after 6 months (after being labeled as non-routine)...'

Took the oath today at Scarborough location. Took 14 months in total.

For those still waiting, all I can say is not to stress too much about timeline, some cases get processed faster. When I applied for pr, usual time line was 13 months. Most of my friends were getting pr in 3-4 months, I waited 21 months. It felt very unfair and my career came to a stand still. It definitely has affected my professional career but it's in the past now. Hang in there. Good luck.

I don’t know about that. I saw that someone else in the forum who called CIC , was also told the same thing about the term non-routine not being used anymore after 2015.

But anyway, really wish everyone to be over with this waiting game .

You can call IRCC again and listen to the recorded message yourself- that message always plays before they let you continue on to your next “press 1”

Can someone be kind enough to help me in this:

1- for section 11 most of my employers never had a physical office in the city/province I work and live so under section " Address of place of employment, study or other activity " I have put the address of the head offices, which were on my T4 and the under the section of "City" I have mentioned the city I work/live.


2- and if I am currently working for the company under the "To" ( date yyyy-mm) section I have written "PRESENT" or can I write "TO DATE" or should I put the signing date there.

Is it the right way to go about it.

An acknowledgment or correction (suggestion) will be highly appreciated.
Thanx
