Nothing yet. Called them today just to hear the broken record again: No RQ or fingerprints or any other requests. All checks are done, everything is great and ready for the next step as of April this year. The next step being the Calgary office to schedule the test. Some applicants from East Canada who applied several months later than myself and who received a RQ have been sworn in already! It's very disheartening and irking at the same time to realize how slow and inefficient the Calgary office is.a.R. said:
Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

How about contacting your MP ? A few weeks back I read a post from another applicant (Maria Ash probably) at the same thread who contacted her MP in NW and his office surprisingly told her that they have never heard anything about the slow processing of Calgary office . So if she could find any/some of the other Calgary office applicants (living in NW) who are facing the same issue , they could raise the issue . She was asking for any other applicant from NW .Not sure if any one from NW contacted her .RussCan said:
Last test notifications were more than 2months ago on this thread, whats going on @calgary office...........are they working on current applications?
The official processing time for routine applications is 2 years. Mine has been 11 months. Any reference to other forum posted examples of faster processing get discarded by the CIC bureaucrats saying - “individual cases get processed differently based on various factors”.informatics said:
This makes contacting the MP pointless at this stage for me.
