Tracking June 2015 Citizenship Application - Please Share your Timeline

[raisins]

I am in the same boat - still waiting for the test invite after my file went in process in Aug 2015. Ordered ATIP end of January and got it a week back - no progress on my file since Sep 2015 when it was transferred to Scarborough. All of the assessments showed a ' not started' status except for RCMP which was a pass. Suspect that the security checks are still pending but no way to confirm as that information is blanked out in the ATIP..so well, its a waiting game...

Same here. St.Clair Office. In "test to be scheduled" status for months. ??? Just wait

Karianna and Raisins,

Do you think it might be possible that your test invitation has been lost?

You can call CIC to check whether it has been sent out or not.

As you are aware as well that sometimes, online status is not updated timely.

Hello,

I was in a similar situation to yours, on my application I requested my name to be put exactly as in my passport (PR and provincial documents did not have my full name). I received a call from CIC officer telling me that if I wanted to make a change in my name, I needed to provide provincial ID's, and for that to happen you need to legally change your name. So I just decided to drop it, wait until getting my certificate and then get a legal name change after that. That was the fastest route to get my citizenship, otherwise I would have had to wait for a longer time.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the reply LostinCalgary!

eCAS status for my family is updated ... they had sent the Oath invitation for the ceremony to be held on 15th March. Good that it is during the March break, my kids can attend the ceremony .

Timeline for my family's application :

Application Received on 9th June 2015
Started Prcessing on 26th August 2015
Test on 22nd Feb 2016
Oath invite sent on 26th Feb 2016

Online status for my wife is updated as Decision Made, but for my kids it still showing up as In Process. However, all of them have the Oath invite updated. Good luck to all those waiting.

Most probably, your kids status might have NOT been updated on systems although their files were approved along with your wife's file.

Please keep checking your kid's eCase status as well, call the agents to get the details.

Well, the ATIP showed all the assessments with a 'Not Started' status - so not sure what they are waiting on.
Which number do i call them on - the number for the scarborough cic office or is there a generic cic number for all queries ?

Karianna,

I see some applicants call 1-888-242-2100 (CIC general inquiry line) to check on their applications.
Or you can try to make an appointment with the office in Scarborough to seek for further info.

and now you are going to take the test.

Good Luck!

Yes, just got a mail from CIC. I thought they would send the notification via email.
Anyways, at least the applications in Toronto are actually moving forward...though slowly
Thank you for everything Victoria
