Hi all,
I am a 2011 applicant and got RQ for my partner in June 2012, was out of the country at that time and we sent it 4 months later and since that time no news at all. They gave us hard time while renewing our PRs last year but we got it after 9 months of submitting the renewal application. 36 months of waiting for our citizenship test/oath without even getting invited to make the test, so we decided to hire a lawyer and work towards Mandamus to check if this delay is a violation of my rights or not. It is really unreasonable delay in CIC processing of a simple citizenship application since I am in full compliance with any residency obligations, and maintain my PR status at all times. Whenever I call CIC, they say that it is a security check delay. it's usually a background checks expiry loop where one of my 3 checks is always expiring thus having to be re-run and by the time that is done one or both of the other checks have expired and guess what re-run time again!
I am writing to see if you have suggestions of the best lawyer in filing Mandamus and the cost? Anyone heard about Clarisa Waldman in Toronto? Any reviews? Thanks
