Question about citizenship process-Answers please?

[Flocan]

Hello
Does anyone know how applications are processed? I mean is there any opening and quick check/screening of applications the day they are received at Sydney or do they wait a little while before treatment?
I called Cic call center and everytime the answer is different...
I sent my application in march 2014 and received at sydney office 03/12/2014
If my application was incomplete should have it be returned to me by now?
Some had their application returned after 2 weeks and others after just one month
Hard to understand how it works
Thanks

You're gonna have to chill bud. If your application isn't returned within 60 days, you can be sure that everything is good to go. Anything sooner is too early to call. Go wash some dishes or something to keep yourself busy.

Thanks for your reply, not easy to wait without any clear picture of the process.
I am looking for other views on this

If you take time to read the forum, you'll realize that we're all in the same boat. There is no clear picture. The 60 day rule is the only one that has some credibility.

Where did you get that 60 days rule from?

Where did you get that 60 days rule frome?

There's no rule. The 60 day estimate is based on our observations and experiences only.

If you're looking for a list of citizenship processing activities with associated timelines - you're not going to find it.

Any update?

CIC just seems wildly inconsistent in general, which is probably the most frustrating thing for most people. This is especially true when comparing the various offices to which Sydney can transfer your application to.
