September 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[harirajmohan]

There has to be a reason and an explanation. I wouldn't want to go an extra mile in their place. CBSA records not complete? You didn't check the box for them to obtain the records when submitting? I don't believe this would be a special type of fun for anyone to request a pile of paper "just because". Anyways, at least proves that files are being worked on.

CBSA records not complete earlier - thats why many people used to cross the US border and go to their country and come back via US border to Canada for oath directly.

Now cbsa has records and now the citizenship rule weighs just on residency days and language requirement( and of course on other criteria such as criminality etc) but officers should never need documents on where i worked, where i studied, where i stayed, which hospital i went and which school my kid went. Its totally irrelevant in asking these when they cant deny just based on not submitting any proof of work/study/healthclaims/kid's school records.
Another problem - Why would any officer want my son's school records when there is no requirement of physical presence for them - they totally waste our time and theirs - even if there's they should not be asking on it as it proves nothing towards eligibility. So there is no point in asking these when its not all part of eligibility. These officers were verifying these documents 20 years ago when they had incomplete cbsa records to avoid fraud and these officers are still hanging to these wasteful processes of verification in my understanding.

Instead of asking all these documents they simply need to verify cbsa records - very simple and just one step replacement for all these documents verification(and the time that gets wasted for them and us).

So i still believe that there is no reason for them to ask the documents that doesnt satisfy the requirement/eligibility.

They wanted everything again...... things I already included in the original application. Only new thing is the health claim summary... which is going to take awhile now since Alberta Health is having a crisis with COVID.

ECAS now says decision made (Since at least December 8th)! I'm guessing there's going to either be something in the mail about this since there was no email update.

Hey I got my online test done and got email for video oath yesterday. Also, got an email from the clerk that he wants to talk over the phone. So i think its a phone interview. Did you get anything like that?

vow, its pretty fast on the gap between online test and oath. Seems the officer is active
Congrats.

The call is to set up the video call trial for the oath readiness. Its not interview as interview will be done by the officer. Many received email and call like this before the oath date.

I dont think so. No one received that. I think its interview which they take after passing the test which I did not have when i did online test.
