Is this normal or abnormal ??

[chinthu]

Hi ..

My husband sent his citizenship applications to CIC during april2010 but he didn't receive any guide yet as stated by others. When he called CIC call center a wk ago they said its too early to check the status of his application as it may take another 2-3 months to open his appln kit ..

can somebody tell whether this is normal or something strange is happening with his appln??

he didn't received not even a notification or ack frm cic ...

Your replies are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I got my guide very fast, I think within a month or two of applying but after getting the guide, I waited so long for the test I thought they had actually lost my application. I would not worry about it yet because it's only been 3 months. Everybody's timeline is different.

If he wants to start preparing for the test right away, he can download the study guide at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-test.asp and he can play with the practice test at http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

I got the guide and letter of aknowledgment 7 months after applying. I applied in August 2009 and still did not do the test. All my friends who applied at the same time with me are in the same situation. In your case it is too early to start to worry. Just forget your file for a while. It is a very long process (13-16 months to finish).
