July 2013 Applications

[tstarks]

tstarks,

Same thing here, CIC agents told me a FP request was mailed to me on March 3rd, however I did not receive it yet. When I told CIC they said I have to wait for 8 weeks before considering the mail is lost. Meanwhile, my application is stuck in Sydney.

Thanks for the Wadelmaki. Unfortunate and frustrating to see, especially after how quickly we have seen other peoples files being processed. Is yours a family or individual application?

Also, were you working in the Middle East before? I am thinking that the fact that I was in the UAE prior to coming here has set off red flags.

My application was a single one! I lived in another place that sets off all the alarms (USA) and I was a resident there prior to come to Canada and I had that in my application. So, I was mentally prepared for a long haul despite the fact that I sent all of documents with my application. On top of that I live in Alberta, so the recipe of a long wait is there.

The part that I am understanding; how come my FP letter get lost while everyone else got their letters few days after they were mailed.

There are people in October who became citizens and our files are collecting dust in Sydney.

Hi Guys,
Not been active for some time but finally I am a Canadian citizen now. Had my test on March 20th and they just called me on the 25th asking to come for oath on the 28th.

I am from Mississauga and I would say they are very fast indeed. I had stopped calling the call center also coz they would just say that my office is still in Sydney.

So don't know if they have the correct news. But good luck to all of you who are still waiting and I am sure you will hear soon from them.

Halifax, when did you take your test/interview?
What's your timeline? I'm assuming your CIC office is Halifax.

Thanks and congratulations.

is it a problem if someone lived in US before?? how come?? one of my friends lived in us (illegally) but he left the us to his home country 3 or 4 years before landing in Canada. Will it be an issue for him??

Thanks Torontonian...
My test was on the 13th and Oath on the 24th. As you can see from the timelines tables, I applied almost mid July and my application was transferred to local office in January... The whole process took about eight months,,, wish you all the best
