Thank you so much for your prompt reaction and the useful information. Do you have an idea of how much will cost me huring the service of a Lawer for such type of case. And for my application there is nothing particular except the request that the request was actually the CIT 0171. And that I really did went out of the country sevral time. But ensure that I really fullfilled the necessary physical presence.

Hi
I have cleared the Citizenship test in July 2019, but during the interview, i have been asked to provide passport translated doc (CIT0520), and i provided the same in July 2019. Waiting since 8 months, no update.
I would assume, that my application went for secondary review, ordered GCMS notes recently, doesn't show any activity since Aug 2019, at the time my file been transferred to GTA- CEN IRCC office.
In the GCMS notes, it is shown that Eligibility residence is in progress. But since no activity since Aug 2019, does that mean my application is simply lying in the table?
Could you and others please share your updates and experience, really appreciate and very helpful.
Thanks.
Hi Smash 1984. I leave in Montreal. Which Parliament member should I reach? Provincial or Federal?
Same as you. Am from Montreal, passed exam in august 2019 then received CIT0520, send the documents in september 2019 and still in process...
Reach out to the federal MP. Immigration is one area where they can help out.
I got the status of my PR as well as interview scheduled really quick thanks to my local federal MP.
They do have a direct line to the immigration minister, so it can sometimes help.
I haven't reached out to MP yet.. Have you took appointment and went to MP office or reached out by email or phone? I am currently in US, which isn't helping my situation either.
Do you have any template which i could use to reach out to MP?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Hi
Looks like we both are in same situation, even though our immigration office is different.
Lets keep in touch to help each other, if you are fine.
Please PM me.
Thanks.
Hello smash 1984,
Could you please tell how much time it took for you from the time you reached to your federal MP and the time you got response from IRC?
I conatcted my federal MP 10 days ago. The same day they called me back and sent them authorization and required information. I am now waiting for either the MP bureau or Immigration to contact me.
The federal MP's office was actually a walking distance from my place so I took an appointment on the phone and walked to the place.
I dont have any template but this was last year pre-corona. The MPs have a direct line to the immigration minister's office so if they want they can definitely get information.
My advantage was that the secretary of my MP (both were from NDP actually and quite friendly, i'd vote for the guy when i become citizen) knew someone at the Hamilton office of IRCC and so expedited my file. The waiting times at that time were about 8 weeks but she was able to get me through in 10 days.
Hi @Liman1 , I was lucky that these were pre covid days so my MPs secretary sat me down with her, got the authorization form signed and called the Minister's office right in front of me. From there she found out my PR application was approved but scheduling landing was taking at least 8 weeks. She then called in someone she knew at Hamilton IRCC office and talked to that person. I got an email a couple of days later for a scheduled landing interview the following week. So all in all probably all of it in 10 days (from the time i called to get an appointment from my MP to my landing interview).
