January 2018 - Citizenship Applications

[drjafs]

keep bugging the CIC guys every 5 minutes by webform
they are not working
all on government jobs are like that. not bothered about work

Honestly, I feel no one should even think of doing such a thing. While we hope to be Canadians, we must also improve our level of tolerance and patience. I feel the CIC has a huge load of applications to deal with and this requires due diligence as to who qualifies to be Canadian citizens which no doubt consumes time. Let us all hope for the best and motivate each other in a positive direction. All the best to all of us!

Lets once again reinforce our optimism in life and hope our dream come true one day. For sure what is meant for us will come our way and what does not... perhaps it was never meant to be for us in the first place. We can support one another more by being positive and pray for all good for everyone. All the best to everyone! Cheers!

You are absolutely right. There are many things that we don't know about how their system works. We cannot assume that they are not doing anything as they have to be extremely diligent in giving out citizenship. However, bureaucracy is bureaucracy in the end and some cases are bound to succumb to it. Patience is the key. Everybody will get it eventually.

...and here I am posting my first time as a Canadian . Feels good

Oath Ceremony went really well with some patriotic videos, Speeches , giving Oath, getting the coveted Citizenship Certificate and Singing National Anthem.

And in Judge's words '115 people from 30 different countries assembled for the event and same 115 people left the hall as citizens of 1 great Country'

I wish god speed for my fellow applicants.

Try contacting your local MP - maybe the MP's office can get you some update / status of your application.
Plus, you can ask them about your application through webform - they usually speed up the process if 12 months have already passed or if it is near 12 month completion.
Did they ask for fingerprints yet ? Because when they ask for fingerprints, the next step is test invite (- at least that's how my application got processed).

How they Will ask for fingerprints and when??can you please explain ??

I recently got my new PR with my new name and it’s updated in status, I just wanted to know if anyone knows what is a special case, Thanks
