Hi,
The Vancouver Office has been in Back log for a long time and now I don't have any hope of receiving any result in near future because now the Victoria office has also transferred their stuff to this branch. I have the following time line:
Landed in Mar 2006
Citizenship Application Submitted July 2009
Citizenship Application Received August 2009
Received Test Notice November 2010
Test Date December 2010
PR Expired Mar 2012 (Renewed again)
File in process till today(as per online status) although as per CIC Call Center agents file has been completed all security checks twice.
This is the time line @ Vancouver Expo Blvd Branch for me although I have been working and paying taxes and have not left the country except for 50 days.
Now CIC Contact Center reps are saying we cannot help you as the file is @the local office and we have no way to contact them.
Pray for me and Good Luck to all who applied at this office

Hi Rose,
Sorry don't know how to msg on here or your msging tool is locked
My timeline is as follows:
Applied just 2009
Did the test 2010
But I applied with my parents, and both received RQ so I separated from them and was told that my criminal record is expired.
This was back in may and was told that it takes 6 months for it to be completed.
Still waiting on that. Nothing new.
Plz msg me if you have any questions bc I don't log in that often
Thanks

Hi Checkmate,
The security checks are done by the Citizenship for all new immigrants through RCMP, CBI and Immigration Department in order to confirm that the new cititzens are not criminals kind of internal inquiry. I agree with them on this point and we have nothing to provide but if there is any issue you will only know by contacting the CIC Call Center. So stay in touch with them.
Good Luck

Hi,
Finally I got a confirmation for my Oath and it will be any time this month. A they have sent a letter and its on the way so after 2 years I will be done. Thanks to God and then Vancouver Office. I have been so frustrated and lost a lot of self confidence that y my file took so long but I think GOD sees you and rewards you if you are on the right path. Since Test in Dec 2010.
Good Luck to all who are waiting

Hi Balut,balut said:Hi Roxy, No word yet...the process will take 3-5 mos if you PASS/ meet all the legislative requirements as per their info given to us during the the test.....so let's just wait for a while...
Thanks for the update. I am aware of the wait time they mentioned during the test, which I find quite ridiculous, especially when other offices in BC tell applicants their test results on the day of the test...
Anyway, thanks again for the update and please stay in touch- I'll do the same. Cheers!
