Ok people, just got the worst pice of mail ever. Please i need help!!!. according to the CIC i have not fulfilled physical presence to apply for citizenship. They must be bloody joking!!!!!!!!. I got my PR In July of 2016, I applied for Citizenship in March 2019, so thats 2 years and 7 months roughly. That leaves me with 5 months short right????. Well I applied for my PR in 2011 and got it in 2016 so thats 5 years of wait, in that time i either had a work permit or was studying, how can that not be 1 year towards my presence. like i am 200 days over the requirement an d they are saying I haven't done enough, are they mental!!!!!!. what is this!!!!!

Did you receive this message in post or in email? What permits/visas did you have from 2011 to 2016?

I sent my application on March 5th. But, I am still waiting AOR.

I called CIC today morning. And, the office told me that my application is not open yet. One good news is that it's not returned. :)
I can wait more..

How do you know that its not returned yet if they did not open at all? Do they return after they open and see if the file is incomplete or do they check the completeness of the file first before the real process starts?

I contacted them through webmail form. I sent my application on march 5th but i dunno when they received it because it was sent through regular mail "big mistake". I will be waiting till end of this month, if nothing still, i will be sending new application. But this means getting again police certificates from 2 countries i've spent more than 6 months in each...it's gonna be a painfull process to get it again :(

He confirmed that the package is just not open yet. I worried if my package was already returned. I don't know if they will return it after they open and check it. But, the current situation is that the package is arrived and waiting for review. :)
