Vancouver Applicants
- Thread starter Oct13
- Start date
Just to add to this, I also had my test and interview a few days ago and another thing I'd advise is to get travel records for countries that didn't stamp your passport on entry/exit if you can.
When the interviewer was going through my residence calculation he said that my home country wouldn't have stamped my passport. This is true but fortunately I had ordered entry/exit records from my home country so I asked if he wanted to see them and he said yes. He then used these records to tick off all the dates on my residence calculation. He also used my I-94 records for a few entries to the US where my passport hadn't been stamped. I don't know what he would have done if I didn't have these, but he did say I was organized and he approved my application there and then.
I hope this helps.

Yep, looks like its just you and I...Pel said:
.I called the call centre yesterday, the lady said my application looks complete and just waiting to get a test date and should be as soon as a date becomes available. Really? How come those who applied after I did (in Vancouver) already have taken a test or have received a test date...
.Very frustrating with the lack of information from CIC

We haven't received anything yet as wellnadalowna said:
test was on July 11th. We called cic today and they said that no updates and our test results haven't been added to the system yet((( the agent said it was weird because it's been almost 4 months after the test... He said he'll send an email... I hope we'll hear good news soonBonny_14 said:We haven't received anything yet as well
Hie Everyone.Im a Calgarian who sent his single and very routine application on February 10 2014 with processing starting on March 28 2014.Now i will be moving to the Okanagan this coming february and i have a few questions,if you could help me clarify a few things that would be most appreciated.Now will my local office be Vancouver Cic? And how are timelines at Vancouver and how soon will i be invited to write the test? and the oath thereafter? How long do file transfers take place and wil this delay my application at all? Do i risk receiving an RQ with this move? And say i get invited for the test and maybe oath before receiving my BC drivers license and BC medical card,will my Alberta ID docs be acceptable? Do address changes get investigated thoroghly? Im just worried that Vancouver Cic could invite me for tests and oath soon since my application is very routine and i wont be a resident for a minimum of 3 months.Is this an issue there? All contributions are very welcome,thanks.
same story.. I called cic couple times about a week ago and was told that my file looks good and it's just awaiting for the test date appointment. That would sound ok to me if I didn't know that my file is in Vancouver office since July. Another cic lady suggested me not to be worried until March 2016 ))) yepraymasa said:Yep, looks like its just you and I...

I realize that cic doesn't process the applications under first come first served basis unfortunately, but that's getting too much now.
Will probably order the ATIP... ???
If you order ATIP, let us know what you find. Perhaps I should do that as well.Pel said:same story..

They should process on first come, first serve basis. I can understand that non-routine application may take longer. But when there are no issues and some who applied in July (4 months after you and I did) have gotten test dates, yes, it is too much..

will update the thread upon any news from cic...raymasa said:If you order ATIP, let us know what you find. Perhaps I should do that as well.

Good luck
Not to worry until March 2016? It's easy for her to talk because it's not her problem. After March 2016, she will say "give 1 more year, then we'll start to look at it".Pel said:same story..

I think you better don't call them, I read about tons of negative comments from calling CIC. Better fax them, at least they don't reply to you, so you don't hear those discouraging words like 2016 etc.
this happened to me too
when I called CIC for my test date, the agent said the estimated waiting was 24months
I just said that I was going for my vacation so wanted to know If I had to cancel my ticket. She checked my status then said " I have a good news for you, ur test date is scheduled in next month so stay in Canada"
lol
