That's just ridiculous! At the rate it takes them you should be able to apply a year before you meet the residency requirement because it takes them so long to process everything!

Yep, it was 27 months for me as well, from application to oath. I wrote my citizenship test back in October 2013 when they were last in Victoria. It sucks waiting so long!

There were 70 of us that took our oath in Victoria on Thursday, January 30th. CIC staff won't be back over to Victoria until July allegedly.

When I went to my ceremony in Victoria this past week I was told that the CIC staff wouldn't be back in Victoria until July.

I would guess they are here this week for the whole week, I got a notice to take my oath on Thursday January 30th. I live in Victoria and applied for citizenship back in October 2011, completely routine application, no RQ, no fingerprint request etc. They received my file in December of the...

After reading maomao's post I went onto ECAS and there is a note on my file saying they sent a notice on December 27th to go and take my oath at a citizenship ceremony on January 30th at 2pm ;D Yay, finally!!!! Maomao, you don't happen to own a store in James Bay do you??

When I wrote my test and did my interview in October I asked when I could expect to take my oath, the CIC person said that they would be back over in Victoria "early in the new year, anytime between January and March, so I hope you're right about the end of January maomao :) End of January...

Victoria we no longer have a dedicated CIC office, it was closed about a year ago, staff come over from Vancouver office to interview, administer tests and oaths. They are here for a week right now. I have been in Canada since 1975, from the UK originally. Didn't feel the need to apply for...

I applied in October 2011. ECAS shows that they started processing my application October 2 2012. I just received the letter to write my citizenship test on October 22 2013 The wheels turn slowly....way, way too slowly so be patient.

I'm a Victoria applicant, but close enough. I suspect we are even further behind since they closed the CIC office here in yet another of the Conservatives budget cutting moves :( CIC received my application Oct 31 2011 (that's what the letter or acknowledgement said) Received my letter of...

No, of course not! For one there's nowhere on the application to put anything like that and for another, I wouldn't be that silly!

Anin I have no idea why this is taking so long, only that my application must be on the bottom of a pile on someone's desk somewhere. I have only 2 to 3 weeks absence outside of Canada each year, proof of which is on my passport and with my PRC file. Just proof of a completely inefficient...
