July 2020 - Citizenship application

[Tobyvan94]

Do you think they will be paying interest on the $630 paid to them nearly a year ago?

I believed there was a thread or someone mentioned that it might be possible if it's more than year to return money. But I think they counting time since getting AOR and not receiving application.

Having a common name isn't necessarily the issue. I have never met anyone with the same name as me. I have lived in Canada for over 30 years and 27 years at the same job and home address.

My Landed Immigrant and PR status have always been kept up to date. (My PR card has just lapsed and I am in the same situation with the renewal times with that).

I do not need the language or immigration test because I am over 55. I have been asked for fingerprints (which I supplied 3 months ago) and my case is still in limbo like most other people.

I think the COVID excuse is starting to wear off.

Do you think they will be paying interest on the $630 paid to them nearly a year ago?

I am in the exact same situation. The Covid excuse is a lame excuse. Unfortunately I am also in management consulting and have worked for government orgs before. Highly inefficient with lots of manual processes and the reliance on people to manage and track work, while at the same time working minimal hours to get s%$t done. It wouldn't surprise me either that piles of paper are sitting on someone's desk, where that said person has gone on vacation, off sick or just plain can't be bothered. No one will be picking up the slack and the pile will be collecting dust.....I am sort of joking but at the same time, reality might not be too far off this story.

The question is, what can we do? Let me know if you are successful clawing money back from the government - good luck with that one!

Security clearances are valid for 4 years.

So someone got their PR status 2-3 years ago, doesnt need security clearance as it was done during PR application?

Likely but I do not know about the nuances of the process.
