Application Recieved on October 25, 2013.
Letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 25, 2013.
We started processing your application on December 27, 2013.
We sent you a notice on June 19, 2014 to appear and write the citizenship test on July 25, 2014 at 8:30 AM.
July 25, 2014 - Test Score 20/20 - Interview took about 20 Mins - Concern was raised about my passport not being stamped for 2 of my trips and said he would request CBSA report.
December 9, 2014 - Phone call from CIC officer, apologizing for the delay in my application, he assured me that all is well with my application and that they were clearing a backlog which was now completed. He said I should get the oath invite soon.
Dec 19, 2014. I received the Oath Invite scheduled for January 13, 2015.
Moral of my story = Go to the test with a copy of the CBSA Report.. Very Crucial!!!! I would have saved myself some 6 months of waiting.
Good Luck!

Congrats, I had almost the same situation as you, except for more unstamped trips. Hopefully, I wont have to wait as long as you did. I asked the citizenship officer at the interviewed how long it takes to get the report and she said its about 48 hours and that its not a big deal for them to get. She said it should not add to wait period for the oath (knock on woodbigdee008 said:UPDATE!

). . . I assumed wrong that they would have checked CBSA records as part of their internal control . . . despite the fact that I consented on the application forms to pull the records. Although, I did not have the CBSA report with me, but I doubt if would have made any difference as the officer insisted that she cannot use what I have but what she can independently confirm.Notalawyer - what is your timeline and is your local office kitchener?notalawyer said:Congrats, I had almost the same situation as you, except for more unstamped trips.
