Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?
- Thread starter alexsteward
- Start date
walelo - even if there are no issues with your documentation, get a lawyer after 36 months. As per CIC website non routine applications should be done in 36 months. It all comes down to how bad and how quick do you want the passport.
wsm_al - I'm guessing you haven't received any test notification. Have you called CIC recently?

I called CIC and a gentleman kindly told me that there is a delay in general in the processing time and my file has not been worked on yet. There is no much updates because they did not work on my file yeta.R. said:
. He said he wouldn't expect anything in the next several weeks. processing times is now 24 months.wsm_al,
Your call is classic example, its utter waste of tax payer's money both from Citizenship processing "drama" and the call center agents, whenever you call them 24moths, 24months 24months. I dont blame them but the whole department is broken and doesnt provide any transparancy.
Thx

Yeah none for Calgary so far however hopefully soon we will be also getting benefitted from it .CIC cannot run two different processing times in the same country . It cannot run like this for long ....fingers crossed
Bunch of lies , :'( As the link says:
Is Calgary not in Canada anymore??
October 16, 2014 — Scarborough, ON — Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today announced that more than 200,000 people have joined the Canadian family since the start of 2014. The Minister also announced that the citizenship backlog has been reduced by 13 percent since June to its lowest level since spring 2012. These achievements are among the direct results of the government’s recent changes to citizenship processing.
Nearly 50,000 people have become Canadian citizens since a new decision-making process came into effect on August 1, 2014. That is a 172 percent increase from the same time period last year.
Recent reforms have also allowed decision-making officers to make progress on the backlog of so-called “non-routine” cases, including ones where residency questions persist. Almost half of all cases in which a residency questionnaire (RQ) was issued prior to November 2013 have been resolved with the applicants receiving their citizenship. Thousands more applicants who had been issued RQs are about to write their tests. These files will be evaluated by a record number of decision makers with the onus on applicants to prove they meet the requirements.
The Tzu Chi Foundation hosted the ceremony attended by the Minister during which more than 100 people took the Oath of Citizenship. It is one of 85 ceremonies across the country taking place during Citizenship Week 2014.

I have contacted my MP. The lady in the office asked my some questions about my application. She called me back in 3 days and told me that non-routine applications in Calgary could take up to 56 months.
I expressed my frustration about the discrepancy in processing times among CIC offices, especially when their website says 35 months. That's insane.
