Oath Timeline after test at St. Clair Office

[QAI]

My two cents, oaths might start getting issued in October.

 

[QAI]

I suspect CIC is implementing demographic filters to maintain the balance of ethnic composition of the country by delaying the process.

With abundance of resources at the disposal of CIC, the excuse of workload does not make much sense. CIC knows the process bottlenecks, how it causes inconveniences to candidates and might know the solutions too and but DOES NOT want to resolve them.

When candidates met required criteria why their files gathering dust for years. CIC department acts without any accountability, Online show status "In Process" for ever. As such, things moves at snails pace. CIC has Call Center staff who mostly acts as attack dogs....

Honestly speaking, CIC can do much better if it has will, transparency, accountability and been monitored by some federal agency.

I think our files are sitting and collecting dust. Things have gone cold turkey. No way does it take that long to process residency questionnaire.
I think you have point though about demographics and only allowing so many applicants becoming citizens from some countries.

Did a call centre agent tell you that? Did you get an RQ?

Yes,I got Rq in May 2013,and text Feb 2014,call Cic was told that I need waiting for August 2015.

Many RQed members on this forum already got oath letters within three months after taking test, that took place within 24 months, way before of estimated 36 months waiting period. Even a few of them received the oath letters a day before when they were told that they would be waiting for 36 months because of receiving RQs. So, it is very likely that call center agents some times give just flat answers without going into details, or simply because of the result of less coordination among different units within CIC.

Who told you to wait until August 2015? The agent who interviewed you at St. Clair or a call centre agent? Did the agent your spoke to at St. Clair mention the RQ at all?

At times the Call Center agents rudely tells, you had RQ and must wait till the completion of 36 months even to follow up. After all, the CIC work as 3rd world country's charity organization without any accountability to the candidates. Possibly under the secret directives of Federal government to grant only certain number of Citizenship quarterly to maintain country's demographic composition & statistics.

Perhaps CIC is the only department where CITIZENS are NOT affected. Thus, government got no pressure to improve it neither the MP's are bothered as candidates are no voters. In reality after becoming citizens ONLY, they will be confident to contribute more for the adopted country in terms of buying the properties, spread over the country than to concentrate in few pockets and ease the pressures on cities infrastructures.

We must not lose faith in the system that has given millions of oath letters, so far. Because of few exceptional cases, the whole system can't be blamed, just an opinion.

Looks like we all tiered of reporting our status and experience, absolutely zero posting past couple of days.
Summer holidays, I guess…….
Passed exam Feb 12th and waiting.

Oh I do believe we will get our oath letters someday, I just get the feeling that they have nobody looking at our case almost like they are short on staff.

This is true. They piled up cases without segregation to pass the new citizenship and immigration bill. I would be surprised if there is not a lawsuit. I will be excising my rights soon if I don't hear from them. I did my test end of June and I am expecting them to treat me like everyone else and send me my oath letter within 2 months.
