Oh so that was an email, I thought it was eCAS update. Never mind, still trying to find the light at the end of this endless tunnel.

Just got this from CIC:

"Our records indicate that your application was received at St. Clair IRCC on 2016/06/20. Your file is presently in residency queue awaiting residence assessment. Once the assessment is conducted notification will be mailed to you by the local CIC."

Thanks,
St Clair office is bad news! My file landed/transfered there in August and hasn't been touched since then. 9 out 10 times; once a file is sent to St Clair is most likey for hearing which could take years *sadly*

Been 7 months since receipt of my RQ docs. Was asked to follow up after 6 months of submission. Last month when I called the lady on the phone said she had put a note in my file for them to respond to me and was asked to phone back after 1 month. I called up yesterday and the guy on the phone says I should give them another 2 months to respond.

Very simple renew Indian passport and send a letter with citizenship application explaining why you didn't renew passport and simple answer is there was no plane to travel anywhere out of Canada.

I was told to call them on Jan 20 if I don't hear from them by then. We are being treated like criminals is all I can say. Depressing.

hang in there buddy, my lawyer told me to wait for 2 years mark (which will be the end of march 2017) hoping to starts seeing some movements, but also added that if the CIC wants to spend 10 years review your application they can do and nothing or no one can stop them from doing it, so that's depressing. we just have to be patient.

Hi hopefully this does not delay your process further. Is there a specific reason you got the CIT 0520, Alot of absences? Anything special with regards to your case ? What kind of docs they ask for .. with the CIT 0520 form.I wish you luck

As I said earlier ours is a family application, my wife's decision was made in Sept 2015 so it is oath invite for sure. Cause my ATIP said I was scheduled for hearing so I guess, no hearing now and straight oath. Hope you too get a DM soon and subsequent oath. This is crazy with some of us guys being singled out.
