my friend from surrey applied oct 2014 and they will have their exam this end of the month. pretty much fast huh
Was his file transferred to Surrey or Vancouver, because there are people who live in Surrey and yet their files were transferred to Vancouver
If that's the case, then it's normal, but if his file was transferred to Surrey for sure, then that's fast!
Plz let me know as July 2014 applicant and my file in Surrey and waiting......

cit 520 received on 28 oct 2014 after the test
Application since june 2013 - getting close to 2 years now

can we ask the cic to stop making prejudices in timelines at different visa offices.
It needs to be determined if this is done willingly or just given a blind eye by higher authorities.
As per constitution all new immigrants are equal and there should be minimal to very less variation in timelines at different visa offices.
This is kinda big partiality if people from may 2013 are waiting at some visa offices and people from dec 2014 got test or citizenship oath at some offices.
Or can we request some higher authority like minister to resolve this issue as it is depriving people in economically growing sections of cities like surrey

why did you get a cit 520, did you have any unexplained absences?

On a side note, I agree with you there should not be such discrepancies between different visa offices.

hi, well, don't worry coz you're not alone. My dad had submitted his application (ROUTINE application) in DEC 2012, and had just taken his oath in MAR 2015. The application took 2 years and 3 months to be processed.

I just called 10 minutes ago and I was told that I have not been scheduled for the ceremony yet. However, I should expect to be contacted anytime from now till October this year(24 months from when I submitted my application).

Sigh...I don't understand why our cases have to wait more than 5 months and still haven't received anything yet. I am the routine application, they never ask me to provide any additional document and lots of ppl who r taking the test even later than us already have the passport....

yea i know this is bs.There should be more accountability. I always thought that after the test it didn't matter weather or not you were asked for any documents or how long it took, they must either schedule you in for a ceremony within six months.
