    Have you not received anything from an ATIP request? How much time has passed since you submitted an ATIP request?

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I am in Vancouver so the whole process may be difficult if I need to engage a lawyer in Toronto. In addition, I am sure at this point, IRCC isn't going to budge if it's merely a letter from a lawyer. So, realistically how much less than $15k (not even taking into account for the possible...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Thanks for the multiple posts mentioning my handle. I have talked to a lawyer and she talked me out of doing a writ of mandamus. I really appreciate that I talked to a lawyer with some senses and not simply a bloodsucker, but she told me the cases she has seen recently did not get resolved...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I second this. Citizenship is a privilege, but IRCC is structured specifically to process immigration, refugees and citizenship applications. The fact that they are not carrying out this job properly, it begs to question if the tax payers' money (mind you, taxes come from PRs as well, not just...

    I truly believe I won't see anything happening until the clock ticks 3 years. If this is not mismanagement, I am not sure what is.

    I can see that, but the counter argument is seeing quite a few of us are stuck at security checks for who knows what reason, why would IRCC voluntarily expedite processing for jobs requiring really high security clearance?

    No, it's for employments anywhere. I am not going to search for it, but I remember at least one person have tried that with an employment opportunity in US and was successful in pursuing for urgent processing. Also, I think it's very rare that a job opportunity within Canada that would only...

    Please advise..best option for my spouse

    No, you have mistaken what I meant. I mean IF the spouse received a job offer from this new country, but her current citizenship doesn't allow her to work in this country, but a Canadian citizenship would, then it is a reason to ask for an expedited process because it affects the family income...

    July 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Mandamus is much less effective now because of the huge backlog at the court with all the mandamus cases ended up there and IRCC not resolving them

    Please advise..best option for my spouse

    Here's to plant a seed in your mind....would your wife be able to work at this new country with her current citizenship (non-Canadian)? If not and if she could get an employment offer from a company there, this is a legit reason to ask for expedited processing.

    I agree. There are no doubt a few people here went with the mandamus route and their applications got approved within months of that. Yet, who's to say if their application was already nearing completion and mandamus was more of a coincidence than a cause?

    Withdraw and reapply?

    Honestly you barely crossed the 8 month mark and you are already thinking about withdrawing and reapplying, look at us from 2023 AOR. In all seriousness, unless you know what caused your file to get stuck, even if you reapply you may end up at the exact same spot.
