Wow that is long, but think u should be getting a letter to do test anytime now, I not too sure about wait times in Winnipeg , for me I applied in may 2011 an my app was transferred to Ottawa office in April 2012 an I did the test on January 15 2013 an now waiting for oath 8)
My application has been going for much longer!
Application Received Feb 2011
Processing Started Oct 2011
Application Transferred to Winnipeg Office Jan 2012
Nothing since then, despite ordering CMHS notes, and the call centre emailing the local office twice about my application!
Send a fax to the local office directly. Nevermind the call center.
Google winnipeg local office fax number.
In ur letter, inquire about the reasons for delaying ur file. Mention that u applied 24 months ago and no invitation to the test yet.
Also, give them a phone number with voice mail where u can be contacted.
Send the fax and hope that a person will pull ur file from the dusty shelves and give u a call back with good news.
That's harsh seldom what in the world could they be doing with your app that long. Cic really sucks bad they take your money for application an then treat us like sh-t the system needs to change.
I called the center and they said its been unusually long right now. I saw on the ceremony site http://www.cic.gc.ca/citcer/english/results_resultats_eng.aspx?type=1 that a judge is back in winnipeg, there were no ceromonies in dec and jan so Im assuming there was no judge in winnipeg for that time... this should give you some hope Seldom, my appl. went to winnipeg in feb 2012 so maybe both of us will get a letter this month to take that test.... lets cross our fingers
There is no citizenship judge in Winnipeg right now. That is why there is a long waiting time there. You probably have visiting judges from other offices.
