Hi Everyone,

I emailed the Vancouver office to the process of my Oath letter urgent due to some family illness situation. I got the email back after three days as follows:

"Hello,
Thank you for your email. We are waiting on clearances to be passed. Unfortunately, we do not have an estimate as to when this will be completed as it is beyond our control.
Regards,
Vancouver Citizenship Office"

My understanding was that the Clearance is done before the Test and Interview. I have my computer notes about a month ago which mentioned that my Clearance was done before the test and interview date. Now they are doing the clearance again, this does not make sense. Does anyone else have the same problem?
Have you got decision made in your ecas yet?

In addition, the following documents are requested:
  • Passports
  • Entry/Exit Records issued by other countries
  • Provincial/Territorial Personal Health Claims Summary
  • Rental or lease agreements
  • Letter from landlord confirming rental period
  • Property titles or Mortgage documents

I don't know if it is full blown RQ or something new from IRCC,
this form CIT-0205 always gets confused with CIT-0502 but in the form i received does mention CIT-0205 (11-2017) E
anyone received Cit-0205?
are you still waiting for test invite, please share your experiences, thank you

btw this " we do not have an estimate as to when this will be completed as it is beyond our control." means our app can go over 12 or even more than 12 months process, what do you guys think?

Yes, it can. 12 months is an average for routine cases, meaning some applications finish within 12 months, others take longer, especially if ones case is non-routine.

Lots of people are still waiting. It's slowly coming in for everyone, and will likely be in Mississauga.

You could follow the following thread about Scarborough applicants. if interested.
