Hello,

I live in Mississauga and I got a PRE-TEST RQ last year (July 2013). I sent all the requested info within 5 days to 3085 Glen Erin Drive in Mississauga as it was the only return address in the cover letter. My question is that is there any way of finding out where the applicant's citizenship file is? Do you think that since my case has a pre-test RQ, could my file still be in Sydney (NS)? ... and they just asked me to send the RQ supporting documents to the CIC office in my city of residence (Mississauga) in advance in an effort be more efficient and save time? This way CIC will already have all the RQ documents ready when the file actually arrives in Mississauga? How does one know?

Also, after meeting my RO, I applied to renew my PR card. When I check my PR renewal application status online, it says that they started processing on XXX date, and the file has been sent to the Hamilton office and that they may contact me if required... HOWEVER, when I check my citizenship application status, it only says that we started processing your file on XXX date. BUT, there is no mention of something like "its been sent to the Hamilton or Mississauga office" similar to the status details for the PR card application. That's the reason why I wonder about the location of my citizenship application. I hope the requested RQ documents I sent were sufficient as I did not hear from CIC again, nor did they send me a reminder of any kind, or a request for additional info (Thank God !)

I know RQ cases are delayed until CIC feels like working on them, but if there is a slim chance that my file has been transferred to the local office... typically, on average, how long can one expect to get test invite?

Any comments on my questions would be appreciated. Thank you.
