Hi guys,
I'm a long time fan of this forum. It was super helpful to have these timelines when I was going for my PR. I couldn't post my details at the time due to personal reasons. But I'm very happy to share my citizenship status.
Location: Ottawa
App Type: 1 Adult / Urgent (Job offer from the Government)
Physical Presence: 1,763
Application Sent: Jan 2 2018
Application Delivered: Jan 8 2018 (upset with Canada post as it was supposed to be 2-3 business days)
AOR: Jan 9
IP: Jan 11
I'm one of the many affected by the changes made to the Citizenship Act in the Summer 2015. I would have made my physical presence requirement during that Summer. I also completed my first degree in Canada during that time which is my proof of English. C-6 didn't make any difference to me as I would have been eligible anyways at the time the bill took effect. I was going to wait a few months in 2015 after meeting my eligibility in terms of years and I waited a few months now --that's why I didn't apply in October when the bill received Royal Assent, just to ensure I certainly have the number of days required, and hopefully avoid RQ. In the middle of all this going on, I received a job offer from the government which unfortunately can't provide more details on. I assume IRCC verified the offer because this is moving fast.
I've seen a few Urgent requests in January. Have you guys checked your ecas? What's the status?
I would love to take the test in the middle of Feb, which means I would need to receive my test invite by next week or the following. What do you guys think of the possibilities of this happening?
