Yesterday I got test invite for March 22, almost 4 weeks after I submitted my RQ docs.

Hey guys.

Hoping someone can help me or if they're in the same situation and for you to update the table.

I have sent my application on Oct 13th from Montreal; AOR on November 8th, and status has been application received since then. Been reading threads about the online system not updating adequately, but not too sure how true they are.

Anyone else in the same boat? Thanks.

Have a new line on my ECAS today. Notice to appear and write test on March 27 send on Feb 23. It was not sent to my email as far as I can see. Nothing in regular mail nor in bulk mail. Will update if I get something via snail mail.

Some other folks on the October thread reported the same. Nothing to do, but wait.

My friend you should call them to find out what’s going on I’m october 18 from Montreal and I’m taking oath next Tuesday

I think I made a small mistake for one of my travel of 6 days which I had before became PR and instead Apr I entered May(for both entry and exists) in calculator. I have been in Canada since 2011 and that was my only travel outside the Canada. This really doesn't have any impact on my present day as before PR only calculated to 1 year. In the test interview CO brought this up and I admitted that it was an honest mistake. he told me it is okay and he would approve my application. My status changed to DM next day. My question is should I do anything to correct this error permanently? I don't want to be accused of misrepresentation 10 years from now.

Scores and scores of citizenship applicants make mistakes in declaring their travel history. If you only traveled outside Canada once, it was for six days, and you reported a trip outside Canada for six days, the fact you got the dates wrong is NOT significant. If this really is the only discrepancy in your application, congratulations you did a better job than the majority (including better than many if not most of those who insist they correctly reported information in their application), and IT IS NOT A PROBLEM.

Revocation of citizenship is a very serious matter. Even in the Harper-era purge, contrary to hyperbolic and unfounded accusations to the contrary, those targeted for revocation overwhelmingly involved the more or less MOST egregious cases of fraud. (Note: the real problem with the Harper-era purge was the denial of fair process; any prosecution is subject to making mistakes, targeting some innocents, and it is absolutely imperative there be a fair procedure employed so those who are innocent or have a defense get a fair opportunity to respond and have their rights protected.)

Appears you will be scheduled for the oath soon. Congratulations.

Normally, it's dated in the same day of "In Process"

so i've been IP for a month and I haven't received RQ yet. that means i probably dont need RQ?

Post by @mqy is not at all correct. RQ can be issued at any time during the process. For a long while most RQ was issued pre-test based on criteria screened at CPC-Sydney, and thus the pre-test RQ was usually (but not always) issued proximate IP. However, it is not uncommon for processing agents to identify risk indicators during later stages of the process which will result in the issuance of RQ. A common example is RQ issued during or following the interview. The latter could be triggered, for example, if the interviewer identifies a discrepancy in passport stamps versus the presence calculator, or if something about the applicant's address or work history triggers concerns.

In the last three or four years, RQ issued during or following the test-interview seems more common than pre-test RQ issued around the time the application was noted as IP.

In the meantime, the new PPQ - QAE process has been implemented (relatively new, but implemented at least as far back as May, 2017). This purports to randomly select applicants rather than be fact-based, criteria-driven like RQ (RQ has long been issued based on reasons to question the applicant's account of time in Canada, that is, reasons-to-question-residency, risk indicators, or triage criteria). Most (but given a recent report, NOT all) reports indicate this has been proximate IP. And if it is truly randomly imposed, that would indeed suggest that applicants who have not received this within a couple months of IP probably will not get it.

HOWEVER, as I noted, a recent report indicates PPQ received nearly three months after IP.

See topic titled "RQ versus Physical Presence Questionnaires, including CIT 0205" for more in-depth discussion about the PPQ.

There is some question whether the PPQ has replaced RQ. We do not know. Again, see the other topic for more in-depth discussion.

is their anyone out here who was a provincial nominee and after pr moved to a different province and had no problem getting Citizenship?

I got my PR in Manitoba, throughout Provincial Nominee Program, moved to BC within 2 weeks. No problems in regards to Citizenship. As per s.6 of the Charter of Rights, mobility rights of citizens/permanent residents.
-"
6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.

(2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:

1. to move to an take up residence in any province; and
2. to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province. "
