Vancouver Applicants

[Bakaboy]

I get this from ECAS:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on July 7, 2014.
2. We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on July 7, 2014. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
3. We started processing your application on August 27, 2014.

I haven't received any acknowledgement letter or study book yet. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Actually they send the study guide and the acknowledgment letter on August 27, 2014 not on July 7, 2014. CIC officials or the people who manage the eCAS are LAZY to correct the error of their inputs. They can't do that sending acknowledgement letter and study guide on the same day they received your application. They did that to all of us applicants! we all have same messages on our eCAS. You will received you Acknowledgement letter and the study guide in two weeks time or earlier from today. Cheers

My e-cas shows that the oath letter was mailed out on the 25th. I have not received it.

From your experience, do you see that delay a normal one?

You should post this in the July 2014's thread.

I just needed to know, how long does it take til we can apply for a Canadian passport? I thought that as long as we have the Certificate after the oath as proof of our status we can apply. But apparently base on another topic, we have to wait for a few days. Is there any veracity to it? Anyone who knows base on personal or expert opinion. I was planning to proceed directly to Passport Canada after my would be scheduled oath. Excited Much!

in my knowledge, you can apply after 2 days of your oath. It's for them CIC officials to forward or enter you certification number to update the citizenship database. 2 days is not that bad though. cheers.

My e-case was updated last night for the oath on Sep. 15th. I have not received the letters yet.

Just checked cic website they now have time slots for sep 15th. You must be receiving the letter for invite soon as well.

Thanks. There are two ceremonies listed on the CIC website on the 15th, but the one at 1:30 is not listed! It should be listed soon

why not just go to passport canada next day after you get the certificate and give a try? on the letter indicated 2 business days, but on oath, officer said 3 business days. ie oath on Monday, apply on Friday.

Good luck
