And is anyone preparing to receive an RQ? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I hear everyone is getting them now... I guess it's worth it in the end to start collecting the documentation if that does happen...

For a variety of reasons the government may choose to either acknowledge by email or by their system. For instance, if ECAS won't accept some input from your application (name, etc.), they won't bother raising it; rather they send an email to cover their workflow. Note that unlike PR applications, which have barcodes to automate validated data entry, the citz app does not -- they manually enter data, which becomes prone to mutations.

Now, if you just received emails, call cic to get an update, citing the email.

To all applicant who received AOR by e-mail: Your application went In Process the day you received you email. I called CIC to know my application update while I also received AOR on 02/09/14 and the agent found in application is on process in their system. He said ECAS may be active sometime during the process and possibly when CIC send another e-mail for test schedules which is the next step unless CIC send any email on RQ or for to send specific documents/fingerprint etc..

+1

this is consistent with what i was told when i called them. The agent told me my eCAS 'may eventually become active at some point' but they do not have info when i should expect it because it is considered as an application in the new processing routine. Also confirmed my app was considered 'in process' the day I receive the email.

51Smoker

By everyone, I mean the majority of applicants. I Have 14 friends who went through citizenship in the last 5-6 years, 11 of them got rq'd. (They are all from different countries, cultures and have not much in common.)

Im waiting for mine... I've made peace with it.

I don't believe applications in the last 5 - 6 yrs are a good indication of what will happen from 2014 onward.

1. CIC has made a number of changes/updates to the RQ and now issues a much simpler form.

2. The new citizenship law which changed the process from 3-step to 1-step (officers can sign off on applications, no need for Judges).

3. Some people on the forum who received pre-test RQs this year are already citizens.

Unless there are specific RQ triggers with your application(e.g. extensive travel, unemployment, baby born outside Canada, etc), I would not worry about a RQ. Ofcourse, there is always that possibility of getting RQ for 'quality assurance' purposes.

Would unemployment be a reason for getting an rq?

I was unemployed for almost a year between 2010 and 2011...
