November 2013 Citizenship Application

[rohit234]

Have you received any letter regarding your test or it was shown on your eCase?

The latter. According to ecas the letter was sent on Thursday.

Thanks.

I called them on Jan 30th and they said transfer to LOT happened on Jan 21st or 23rd.
Yes, I've checked ecas status today.

Hi Rohit,

Did you get your AOR ? If yes, when did you get it ? If you didn't get it yet, then this is the first time I see a case where someone gets invited for the exam without receiving the AOR !

Congrats Rohit !! Did you travel during the 4 year period É

it's so strange.....I sent my application on Nov. 2, but cic said they received my application on Oct. 31....Is it because I signed application in an earlier date??

 

[mrbravo]

doesn't make any sense. double check the date you sent your application. you received date has nothing to do with the date you signed your application

Yes, I received AOR. I think it was around January 10th.

Yes, three times. I have provided some supporting documents along with my application. OHIP history, history of crossing the border from my home country, tax returns, T4, etc (based on what they demand for RQ).

Rohit234....What Rohit234 is mentioning. answers the mysterious question which is " what would happen if we send all the supporting documents such as employment history, CBSA report, History of exit and entry from home country " some people were saying this would raise flags but from Rohit234 experience, it actually doesn't and it seems that it speeds up the process.

I had my CBSA report, exit and enrty report from my home country, tax returns, T4 etc and was reluctant to send them along with my application. I was wrong.

hope future applicants learn from Rohit234 experience.

thanks

Well if it happen with one applicant doesn't mean that 335k applicants are wrong , when cic specified the document required for citizenship they didn't mentioned all other documents like health record or CBSA record ,
If its really expediate the application process then they can easily ask for these document upfront with initial application , one case doesn't mean it's a pattern .

My test is scheduled for February 26th.

Wow. That's great news! Congratulations!
