I'm happy to share a good news with you all about a reader from other immigration forum. The applicant with his wife passed the Citizenship test on Sept 16th at Scarborough Office. Immediately they were given the Oath invitations for the next week.

Well, the million dollar question remains when would the St.Claire Office start working ???

Hey everybody,

My wife and I just came back from the citizenship test today at Scarborough Centre.
The exam was not difficult, I finished within two minutes.

After that, we were called for the interview. The immigration officer reviewed all the documentation and ask a few questions.

Finally, he gave us the notice to appear for the oath next week. Yes, pink sheets were being delivered to those applicants who had passed the test and didn't have any problems with passports stamps and dates. The officer told us that since last week, they were allowed to give oath invitations right after the test interview.

We are very happy to be able to become Canadians next week. Just wanted to share with you guys. Thanks for your support! Smiley

Very lucky candidates. It is mainly because their application status was regular and they don't seem to have got RQ. :'(

Agreed, this candidate did not have RQ &was immediately issued the Oath invitation for the next week. I personally know candidates from the Mississauga offices who had RQ but on the Test day, their doc's were verified & Oath invitations were issued for the next week.

However, I never heard any single case from candidates of St.Claire Offices where the Oath letter issued quickly enough, almost everyone was essentially dragged for months before issuing their Oath letters. More ever, noticeably every second candidate at St. Claire seems to have had RQ issued, unless some criteria was used and assigned all such files from entire GTA for very detailed scrutiny to St.Claire offices. :-X

Yes, St. Clair office is like a special investigation's branch. Regular candidates are not sent to St. Clair only special cases and those whose RQ needs to be extensively investigated. Unfortunately that's the process via St. Clair.

Hello Readers:
Here go my thoughts why some applicants get oath letter without any delay whereas others don't.
Applicants who:
1. came to Canada without any delay after getting the immigrant visa,
2. landed to this country directly from their birth countries,
3. did not live or travel to any other countries before or after getting the visa,
4. are living with family and children are going to school,
5. did voluntary jobs or involved with social support groups during their job hunting period,
6. applied for citizenship at least two months after meeting the basic residency requirement of 1095 days,
7. and above all have clean image,
get oath letter on time or have their applications processed faster than others.

Even if you have a stable job in Canada, a citizenship officer gets little to believe that you will live in this country after getting citizenship because of one or more reasons as I mentioned above.

Color, creed, race, religion, demography, or political view have very little or no influence on the processing time.
