Hi so12345,

Would you mind sharing when you were issued an RQ? Thing is, we applied as a family too, and only the husband was RQ'ed, just wondering how long we might need to wait, our status for both still shows "In Process", no mention of transfer to the local office.
Thanks!

It depends on what CIC request on the July 7 letter. If it's additional support documentation or more information to complete your application, it probably implies yours is a non-routine, and may take longer. But, sometimes, it doesn't have that much of an impact. The most sensible way to find out is to call CIC and ask.

Hi Itenka and so12345,
I have similar case as yours. Applied as family in Jul 2014 and only I (husband) got RQ in Oct. submitted RQ in Nov. But my eCAS shows nothing except that the application started processing in Sept. Please keep updated about your progress and share your timeline.

Thanks, so12345!

Our timeline is similar: our applications were received in Sydney on July 28, then the status changed to "In Process" on Dec 9, 2014. But we took a lot longer to respond to the RQ - we mailed the docs to the local office on Jan 19.

Would I need to inform CIC if my phone number changes ? or just a change in an address?

I think it is better to inform both. Address : definitely yes.
