? So offices still process files that are 5 years old. I thought 36 month is already a nightmare for RQ files. I dont know how Chris Alexander could promise that by the end of next year citizenship files will be finalized in less than a year. Doesn`t seem this guy knows what hes talking about.YYC_CICGUY said:Here is the news I got - Calgary and other offices are now clearing backlog as old as 2009.......we are literally stuck in this mess. I am sorry about all geniune applicants who were waiting so long in the queue, but they held all other applications in order to accomodate the backlog thats not fair either.
