october 2017 citizenship applicants

Yeah, I’ve thought about this as a real possibility as well, confused identity.

Oh well. It’ll only be a week until they get the report from the RCMP, so I’m not going to lose sleep over it. More annoyed that I had to take the time to do it and spend the $70!

Hi, I see that you're located in Newmarket. If I may ask, where did you get the fingerprinting done ? I thought it costs around $50-$55 max. $70 seems more than what people reported on this forum.

Went to a place in Richmond Hill. Didn’t check around much, TBH. The police services facility wanted $105, so $70 seemed good. I was just happy to get it done quickly.

If Newmarket has no dedicated office it could be one of CIC office in York Regional like Vaughn, Thornhill or Markham, but Markham has longest waiting list & proccess times due to hire number of new chinese & eastern european applicants and 1 in 3 people in Markham is new immigrants ariving in Canada after 1999 therefore has highest applicants number after Mississauga which also highest number of applications than even Toronto the only deffrence is Toronto has many CIC offices always prepared no matter what volumes on time.

I’m in Newmarket and mine is being processed in the St. Clair office.

Thanks for sharing. There is an RCMP office in Newmarket on Harry Walker Pkwy. I wonder if they do fingerprinting, and whether it would be quicker than using 3rd parties. I, too, am expecting to get a FP request in a few weeks.

Wow, St. Clair ? That's a surprise. I thought it would be at the Scarborough office. I looked at some of the past months data on the tracker sheet, and saw Newmarket applications being processed in Scarborough. I suppose it depends on how overloaded they are.

It’ll save you money if they do because RCMP doesn’t charge for FP due to citizenship requests. The fees charges by third party places are just their own service fees.

Thanks. I'll call them next week and find out.

I’ll be doubly annoyed if I paid unnecessarily lol

Are you in Newmarket?

We should get a Newmarket meeting organized lol

lol not very many applicants from Newmarket sadly. Wish we had our own IRCC office nearby. St. Clair office is all the way in Etobicoke, seems like a pain. I hope it's faster than Scarborough though. DM to Oath times at Scarborough are crazy long (6 months+)

I think it is random, some York Region applications are sent to Scarborough and some to St Clair. Good luck everyone.

Congrats, I think the time zones also play a part. Good luck with your application.
