Office location in Vancouver?

[Anford]

Hi,

I'm really desperate and it doesn't make any sense that Vancouver office is so slow!
I live in Downtown Vancouver and I really want to talk to somebody who answers my questions better than CIC operator on the phone.

It seems like they have 3 locations in Vancouver and all of them in Downtown.

• 800 Burrard Street
• 877 Expo Boulevard
• 1148 Hornby Street

Does anybody know which location is processing the actual citizenship applications?

Thanks

I am a BC applicant myself. Though my processing office is Surrey.

If you check this website, https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/canada-appointment-only.html, there's actually only 2 offices in downtown Vancouver.

Also, if you want to talk to other BC applicants, you can check this out: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/vancouver-citizenship-test-invite-masterthread.721269

Thanks! You're right, there are only 2 offices... I've been watching the other thread and I also just applied for GCMS notes even though I know it's not going to help with anything It just gives me a feeling like I'm trying to do something about it

All the best! Though I am quite surprised that you haven't been invited to write an online test. From other threads I have been following, Downtown Vancouver applicants moved very quickly as in their status got changed to DM a few days after their test and they were invited to an oath ceremony shortly after. And here I am with the Surrey office who has not updated me ever since I wrote my test on Jan 4...-_-

I got my test invite last week (February 18th). I applied urgently though so the timeline isn't super helpful for others. Just know there is work being done.

It's very frustrating... and I also think my case is very easy as I'm a single applicant, been in Canada since 2014, never had any issues with my immigration history,

What is your timeline? Best is to always have it in your signature for other members of this forum.

Yeah I am a single applicant here and been in Canada since 2014. I am sure processing times differ case by case, so I guess my question is what about my application is questioning which will not be answered lol

Oh I meant how you contact Vancouver office directly? You said you have been asking directly to Vancouver office so I thought maybe you have a phone number to this specific office?
