I just wrote a letter to my MP about the timelines in the Calgary office. This is the text:

"Dear Ms. Crockatt,

I am writing this e-mail to express my concern for the long processing times of Canada Immigration and Citizenship (CIC) office in Calgary.

I participate in a forum about the citizenship process, where we exchange experiences, problems solutions, etc., including timelines in citizenship applications around Canada. I've seen than offices in Ontario for example are sending invitations for people who sent their application last November 2014, while the Calgary office is sending invitations for people who applied late 2013 or early 2014. As you can see, we aren't talking about weeks behind other offices, but months and months. This delay continues inclusive now that the fees for citizenship applications were increased in a 300%, from $100.00 to $400.00

This makes me feel less important than people in Ontario or other provinces where applications are processed more efficiently. I hope you can help in finding the reasons of this delay in this local office.

Best Regards,"

Well done Zaraben! I am sure that they don't care, but at least they heard the voice.

I wrote to my local MP as well but no reply. I do not think they give rats ass about what we go through.

Hi Alex-78! Who is your MP!

You would get a better response from the CBC, CTV, and/or Global News departments if you sent this to them as a news tip.

I agree. I don't think the MPs care when we can get our citizenship as it's none of their business and they can't feel our pains. But if it's exposed to the public, I think they might do the as there is an election in the upcoming time.
