Dear Friend,
My citizenship application was received by CIC on Sep, 27, 2012. I have written and passed the test on April, 7 2014. A month later I received RQ because I noticed that I had converted my travel dates wrong and ended up having 1091 physical presence days. However, because of my uncertainty in my travel dates I submitted my application a month delay meaning that technically I had more than the minimum required 1095 days. Anyway, since the date I had responded to the RQ (june 1,2014) with strong proof of my presence in Cnada (my full-time job record within the last 4 years, T4, travel dates from canada border agency, mortgage payments, medical history, properties, and etc), I have not still heard anything from CIC in Winnipeg.It s been almost 39 months since my application and nothing has happened. I have requested ATIP and looks like since may 2015 there were updates in my file such as clearance,and etc. I tried contacting call center a month ago and they told me that they would send a note to local office. However, based on what I have read in the forum, call center gives contradicting info. I am planning to hire a lawyer and go for "Writ of Mandamus" as I was told that could be the only way to have the case finalized otherwise it will never finish. I need to know if anyone has the same experience and any advice on this matter is a highly appreciated.
thx,
