My eCAS finally got updated. But it seems to be a bad news.

  • We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 22, 2016.
  • We started processing your application on October 7, 2016.
  • We sent you correspondence on February 13, 2017. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

it definitely not the test invite. Maybe RQ maybe fingerprint request. :o

Its probably FP request. You should get an email right away. Check your junk. You did not have your test yet?i am also a september applicant. FP just adds another month to the process. Not to worry. Are you in toronto?
 
Yes, it is the FR request. The lovely brown bag lying in my mail box. Now I know my local office - the famous St. Clair. Thank you VraiVie.

I have not yet received my test invitation, and yes I am in GTA area (Vaughan). Thank you for the kind words.
 
Did my fingerprints today. Very quick process and it will take at least 72 hours for RCMP to mail the results back to St. Clair Office if there is no criminal records found (I am pretty sure I don't have any). Let's wait more!

Thank you. However, my case now is officially non-routine.

no it is not. it is considered as a routine app. I was also requested to submit a finger about 3 months after I did the test and it took them 25 days to make a decision on my file and issue an invitation to attend the ceremony so your case is still routine. that said what I think is delaying your application is the location you live in so fingers crossed for you and the rest of September group. Mind you I had also changed my name before submitting the application. To be honest, there are time I thought too my application is non-routine due to name change, fingerprint request and so forth and so but the reality is that it is just that they might be dealing with a high number of applications. That is all to say that your application is routine as per my understanding.
 
Guys need some input,

Did my test and interview 17 jan. Still in process, Called cic twice they said in process. second time lady side security clearance is going on and it can take long if you have a match or something. I already had FP and got cleared no issues. The interview went good as far as i know. Its been a month just silence. Any input will be appreciated. Should i order the notes? ATIP?

Thank you
