Security Clearance After Passing the Citizenship Test

[ENGLISHFORCITIZENSHIP]

Totally false. See this link http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-im...-after-passing-citizenship-test.478498/page-6 You dont need to submit Finger Print and Police clearance if you have submitted them when you became a PR and not have spent outside of Canada more than 6 moths after becoming PR. I also hope other senior members also feedback this.

What? six months for security clearance? I read some people here said it was 6-8 weeks. Who is right?

Six months from the time they start processing your application.

Six months from the time they start processing your application.

Thanks.
The question is does everyone need 6 months to complete the security clearance, or you need 6 months to complete the security clearance. If everyone need 6 months, why did they send the oath letter to you and we saw the process time of some people were shorter than 6 months.

A friend of mine came as a PR and was finger printed at Pearson airport when he landed. Now when he applied for his citizenship recently he was again asked for finger prints and he submitted. He did not spend more than 6 months outside of Canada. Police clearance is a separate issue, don't include that with finger prints. As of now he has obtained his passport and every thing is fine. No need to worry in my humble opinion. The total time to get passport from applying is 4 months for him. He lives in Regina

There is no fix time and six months they tell you just to be on safe side as this is the maximum it can take or even more than 6 months in more complex cases. Usually its sooner

He did not get the oath letter. Lady at interview informed her he will get a letter after security clearance and it could take 6 months which is what they tell you to save themselves from being blamed if they tell you 2-3 weeks and you don't get it. There is no fix time for security clearance and it could be done in few weeks or few months

They never gave me the oath letter though my online status stated that they had sent me an oath invitation letter. I asked the cic official why is my online status showing they sent me an oath invitation letter yet my security clearance is not yet complete. She told I know it's misleading but they sent out letters to all people in that region since its served by itinerant so that if everything is okay i.e. they pass the test and interview and their files are complete they will be given their oath letters and they can attend the oath ceremony the following day. I saw the oath letters printed out for all people who came that day to write the citizenship test. My advice give it about 3 Months.

Can someone tell me if RCMP clearance is the same as security check? I took the test today and they told me that my file is still waiting on the RCMP clearance. I've gone through this thread and can't seem to find a clear answer.
