[Karel0726]

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on November 7, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 29, 2017.
3. We started processing your application on January 16, 2018. Is this normal? I applied for family. Me and my son. My daughter applied same day different envelope. She will do her test next week.

I got my test today. 19/20. After test I was informed that I do not qualify and I have two options.
1. to withdraw my application because of my days ( 927),
2. To wait for a CJ hearing.
Why did they asked me to do the test ?

What happens in an individual case depends on many, many, many factors.

If you applied in November 2017, my guess is you claimed to have been present in Canada for more than 1095 days but when an IRCC processing agent assessed the facts in your case the agent concluded you were present less than 1095 days.

You are entitled to a Citizenship Judge decision IF you claim you were present at least 1095 days. IRCC cannot summarily deny your application if you claim you were present at least 1095 days. So they have to provide a fair procedure and that includes scheduling you for the test and interview even though the processing agent has concluded you did not actually meet the minimum presence requirement.

If the facts are that you were not physically present in Canada at least 1095 days, there is no point in doing anything other than withdrawing the application.

The real question is if you were not physically present at least 1095 days, why did you apply?

Note: if you were claiming some credit for pre-PR time in Canada and IRCC is not giving you that credit, please provide more information about this.

Why don’t wait to complete ur days b4 u apply, my advice for u now is to withdraw so u can still get back some money, and apply again.

Or wait for the six months to lapse it's not a long time really.The headache and heartache you will go through to fight this is not worth it.Six months will be here and gone in no time at all and you can reapply easily .Just my opinion I always look at the least resistive and the least stressful route to take.

If IRCC is in error, it should be taken in front of the judge. If OP could provide more info as to the time they are claiming, some forum members would provide opinions on the matter. Withdrawal means losing the fee.

Really the free version is good enough along with the book ( which I printed from CIC website).I don't think you should purchase online tests but if you feel inclined then by all means do so.For me the free one was very very adequate .

Thank you for your reply.
Free version has only 50 or 100 questions. Or is it like when you opt for 20 questions every time the popped up are a little different.?

I think this poster is a truck driver and included the days he crossed over to the states in the application, which don't count. Being a truck driver even waiting six more months won't necessarily accumulate enough days. And since the eligibility period is a rolling window, he/she may not ever get enough days...

Hi!

My case is as follows:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 18, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 21, 2017.
3. We started processing your application on December 12, 2017.

And I have yet to receive the test invite. I applied from Mississauga, ON. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to speed up/find out about the process?

Thank you!
