different addresses but within same city.

Lets keep it simple as a good job. Although being employed may help, I believe the type of my job was not too much effective on processing time. Normal processing type is around one year for people with straightforward , clear, and accurate application with no RQ.

I liked living (study and work) in Windsor. People here are very friendly and city was nice to live (pretty quiet) and safe (one of the safest cities in Canada). Yes, there are a lot of factories here especially automotive manufacturing industry. I was employed all the time and I consider my job...

thanks. I lived here so far more than 5 years. i have had few times short trips to the US, and once traveled to visit family. Totally I was away for less than 2 months. CIC officer checked stamps on my passports (old and new one) before citizenship test, compared with dates I reported in my...

Hi, put the date you first came to Canada as an international student.

yes, started school here as international student. Got PR after 3 years as a FSW. Thanks! not sure if the Windsor office is fast or not. Most of RQs issued by Sydney even before the files be transferred to local offices. I know also few people who RQ-ed by Windsor office after citizenship test.

you are half right. I am single, but male. ;)

good idea to try a lottery :) never done that.

thanks. I am Iranian passport holder, and whole citizenship application since application submission to oath took 8 months to me. I was expecting longer time, but fortunately it was very quick.

Just a short update that finally I received invitation letter for OATH. I wish this would be a good sign for all of you who are waiting for a long time. My oath will be on Feb 22.

your local office is one of the worst in Canada. I read a lot of people with RQ from that office with a longer processing time. 4 years waiting is not fair.

can you share your local CIC office if you don't mind?

If we receive RQ, there is no way except being patient and providing accurate and helpful documents to prove we have lived in Canada. From discussions posted at different forums, some RQ cases have been cleared pretty soon, even in a few months. Seems it is mostly depends to the local office and...

Thanks! yes, my intention was to give some hope to folks here. seems most of people in this topic had a very hard time with their citizenship application process.
