Hi Guys,

Here is my time line.

Received : 11/oct/2012

Started processing: 07/feb/2013

Pre-test RQ: May 2013

RQ sent: June 2013

Letter to prepare for citizenship test: December 2013

Just received letter to write citizenship test on feb 06/2015 from Mississauga office.

I do not know when they again transferred my file from st.clair to mississauga.

good news! it's moving finally. have you ordered atip yet to see why file is transferred back to mississauga? maybe because rq review is done.

I think after July 1st 2015 everybody's application will be processed, as they will not be getting too many applications, due to increase in residency requirement.

we really hope so too.....

@ Supercarp, I ordered it on Jan 5th, not yet received from them. will let you know once it reaches me. I hope everybody who met requirements gets their citizenship fast.

I have 1246 days of physical presence in Canada, still I was RQed. Never traveled to United States. Only country I traveled is India, which stamps both entry and exit stamps. On test day I am going to tell the officer same thing, this is as easiest it can get to process the application. I cannot even travel to any other country other than India.

So you sent back the RQ on June 9th and they received it on June 6th. Interesting.

In my ATIP report Below is mentioned at one place

Responsible Office : St Clair CIC
Rentention Period:6
Location :Res Assess Sehlf-Mississauaga

What does Rentention Period:6 means?

I also received the exact same letter so I wouldn't be excited about it as it looks like this is just generic letter that they send out to everyone that is past the 36 month mark. This is getting ridiculous.

Can't help sharing this amazing and very informative letter received from CIC recently. Basically I called CIC after 36 months expired and was told by the agent that our family's case was transferred from Ottawa to St.Clair. The agent said that CIC is supposed to provide an update on the status and the reason for the delay, and advised that he will send a note to the officer reviewing my case. And this is what we received a few days ago in mail:

"Dear Client:
This letter is in reference to your application for Canadian citizenship and is further to your correspondence received at our office on 15/12/2014.

Our records indicate that your application is currently in residency queue awaiting residence assessment. Once the assessment has been completed, you will be notified as to the next stage of the process.

Should you require additional information on the requirements to become a Canadian Citizen, please visit the Help Centre page of our website at (link) An individual who has an active file at CIC can obtain information on the status of his or her file at (link) Also, in exceptional circumstances citizenship applications can be processed urgently, the criteria fro urgent processing can also be found on this website. (link)

I hope the above information is helpful. For future updates on your file or change of your address, please contact our Immigration Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 or visit our website (link)

For further information, please contact Call Centre.

Yours sincerely,

Citizenship Official"

Isn't it nice? I'm tempted to send this so called letter to the minister's office as an example of how CIC staff waste taxpayer's money.

P.S. somehow I can't post pictures or links here, so had to type all that stuff in...

Kelshear or someone had a spreadsheet and I found 10 odd people including me who applied in 2014 getting Pretest RQ and also a test after.

No one has anymore updates after

Hi, is there any guide or something to know what we should answer when the form CIT 0171 ask for Address (city, country) ?

I know it's better to write the full address but I would like to know what is the correct answer.

Thanks,
