The Citizenship application fee increased by 500% on promise to improve CIC system, hire 300 more personnel and cut down processing time. Past 9 months, nothing has improved, candidates still getting same old excuses - excess work load and each case is different.
Looks like CIC has absolutely no performance audits, matrix, accountability or answerable to anyone. Its biggest source of bulk revenue for government where people will silently pay.
No surprise, on some or other pretext there may be another increase in processing fee soon to support the bad economy, its easy money.
