HI, THIS IS MINE:

CIC RECEIVED: 2012-10-12
E-CAS: 2012-11-24(RECEIVED)
FIRST LETTER: ?

Soon you will get the letter on mail. Your timeline is even faster than mine. I was not able to see my E-Case that fast like you, as It took 55 days to happen.

Count about 2 weeks after Nov, 24, 2011 and you should be receiving your letter by mail.

Good luck.

When was your application delivered to the CPC?

Swede not to hijack the OP's thread but out of curiosity did you apply for citizenship with basic residence (as per your signature timeline).

I'm not quite sure what you mean with your question, but long story short I've been a PR since 2010-03-05 and as of 2012-10-23 I had 1211 basic residence days of which 1177 days of physical presence in Canada.

I think he meant asking whether you declared non-permanent resident residence time, which is surprising keeping in mind your signature implying you landed from UK and applied less than 3 years from the date becoming a PR.

 

[Kayvanblue]

thanks good info

 

[Msafiri]

Swede - EasyRider is on point. Your signature has a landing date that may indicate you haven't reached the 1095 days of physical presence unless you are claiming a year from non PR time.

 

[Swede]

Time spent in Canada before I got my PR status, but within the last four years, counts for half (I think) when calculating residence. In any case, if the residency calculator says I'm in the clear I won't complain...

 

[Msafiri]

Swede - thanks all clear now.

Swede - thanks all clear now.

No problems!
You still need at least 2 years of physical PR presence, though.

Nice! Then I should definitely have dodged the language test-bullet...

...and I should see something in e-cas in a week and change.

 

[Swede]

My application has been received!

So:

2012-10-25: Application sent to CPC-Sydney
2012-10-29: Application delivered to CPC-Sydney as per FedEx
2012-12-10: Status changed to "Received" in e-cas

A total of 30 business days (assuming that the CIC had Nov. 12th off due to Remembrance Day, otherwise 31 days) from delivery to reception. Making good time so far!
