Hi All, I just wanted to update you that after a 14 plus month wait I have finally recieved my test invite for Monday, December 10. Any suggestions about test preparation ? Is the "Discover Canada" book good enough or any extra reading is suggested as well ?

Congratulations !!

Hi ItsmyID, As I mentioned to Ottawan in the previous note that the complaint wasn't harsh or anything. I pointed out that there has been an inordinate delay in processing my application for which I would like to request for an update and if the application can now be pushed ahead. There is...

Hi Ottawan, No I didn't get a reply. After you submit the complaint they do mention that it is not possible for them to reply to all the messages but they take the feedback seriously. Having said that at this stage with 14 months having gone from the date of the application I know that they...

Hi Qorax, Yes I will do that today as well. Actually I am on the phone right now waiting for my turn to speak with an agent. Keeping fingers crossed.

You and me are sailing in the same boat my friend except the fact that I have crossed 14 months now. Here are some steps that I have taken ( not that they have been successful !!) fr your reference :- 1. Reached out to CIC via phone and email. As the wait times are very high for speaking with...

That's strange. I am not too sure why it is taking this long for your oath to happen. Anyways in my case it has been more than 14 months since application and I haven't even gotten a test invite forget anything else. Wish you well in your process and I hope you become a citizen in 2018 itself.

Hi Littup. His team has been following up and all they have heard back is that criminality check is going on after I submitted my fingerprints. It has already been 1.5 months since that happened so I am not too sure what is going on. I think I am now going to consult a lawyer to know more...

I am going to do that tonight as that is the only other option that I can see which I have. I am frustrated and exhausted with this entire process to say the least.

Hi All, I am an Ontario resident who applied for citizenship in September 2017 and am still awaiting a response. Here are the broad timelines of my case :- Application Received by CIC : September 2017 Application Processing Start Date : November 2017 Fingerprint Request Received : September...

Hi All, I am pretty sure that all of you would have got your citizenship by now. Congratulations !! However I am amongst the unfortunate few who are still waiting for a test invite inspite of applying for citizenship in September 2017. Here are the broad timelines of my case :- Application...

I think CIC is probably the most mismanaged of all the government departments. I hate it when they say " Processing time is 12 months " as if everything will be fine on the 365th day and you will have your citizenship on that date itself. I have 7 days left for it to be 1 year in IP for...

Sorry to hear about the fact that you have waited for almost 6 - 7 months no after the test. That's strange. I do advise you to follow up with CIC on the same if you haven't done so already.

Brother it's infuriating and frustrating to say the least. It has almost been 1 year since I applied for my citizenship......1 YEAR.....I have not heard of anyone who has been waiting 1 year for their citizenship grant application. I think it's better to be a refugee here in this country.

Congratulations on your citizenship. No I want to try for the foreign services.....in fact I should apply for IRCC...hopefully I can get them back on track fast.
