Oath Timeline after test at St. Clair Office

[006007]

Fellows, those who have already taken the test but file was returned to RQ queue for unknown reasons, especially for those clean and clear files which are totally eligible for the requirements but were put in the RQ shelf.

Here is a possible solution:

"On October 16, 2014, Chris announced that more than 200,000 people have joined Canadian family since 2014 and backlog has been reduced by 13% .... Recent reforms allowed decision making officers to make progress on the backlog of non routine cases. Almost half of all cases in which RQ was issued have been resolved....a record number of decision makers will evaluate applicants to prove they meet the requirements. "

Let us write a formal letter or email sent to Chris, reminding him that there are a lot of victims like us whose files are clean but for some unknown reasons, were sent to RQ shelf for delay. And the worst part is no "decision makers" take care of those cases, just let them staying on the shelf, collecting dusts. We should suggest Chris to put an eye on those dusting files and let those "a record number of decision makers" to resolve those files soon, as promised by him.

Hi Forum Members,

Finally my wait for the Canadian citizenship has ended. Yes, I received the pink letter yesterday for the oath ceremony on Nov 1st at Scarborough.

It was a long journey of 37 months and this forum has helped me a lot to understand the process of citizenship.
I wish all of you Good Luck and hope this endless journey will end soon.

Thank you so much for your support and guidance!

Sharing my experience of the oath ceremony:

- Scheduled at 8:30am at the CIC Scarborough court room
- Arrived late, at 9:00am
- Denied entrance to the court room as the ceremony has already began
- Was told to wait for a re-schedule, which normally takes weeks
- Talked to a CIC staff, and he took my invitation letter and "see what I can do"
- Called my name 15 minutes later, said he would try to seek for an additional seating for me, in the following ceremony.
- Granted to sit in the 10:30am ceremony
- Got into the courtroom at 10:15am, and Submitted PR card (no passports, IDs and original record of landing needed regardless the invitation says)
- Judge arrived, continued with opening proceedings
- Took my oath in both languages, repeated after the judge, line by line
- Judge issued certificates, name called one by one
- Sang the national anthem the first time as a Canadian
- Ceremony closed

A little bump due to the late arrival, but was glad that it worked out. Overall, it was a very memorable experience, and of course, I am very excited to be part of the country, officially.

I am deeply upset by the incident which took place in Ottawa. Don't know how it would effect our Citizenship applications. Any comments by you flocks? Please keep it only subject oriented, No religious, cultural or ethnic comments please. Remember we all suffer equally by the incident.

Hope not....but you never know. If it does we will be victim of somebody's wrong doing
