    November 2014 Applicants

    Just wondering whether test notice comes in mail or email? Is it dependent on how one got the aor via mail or email?

    JAN 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    The date of them stamping your application on receipt should not be earlier than the date of signature in the application. If they didn't receive it on the same day then u shuld be fine.

    December 2014 citizenship applicants!

    Hi Torontonian can you plz call cic and confirm whether the aor was for Aug or December? If you had written a cover letter saying this is a duplicate application then they would have issued it for Aug. Please check on our behalf and let us know.

    Any RQ since july 2014?

    The question is to probe whether rq issued for post July applicants. Not for year uly2014. Applications recvd pre new rules will be processed as per old rules. So we can't factor an rq for a pre July one, even if it was issued in 2014

    JAN 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    wow thats crazy fast. Are they opening applications in real time or what???! Never heard anything related to CIC this fast. Man then one shouldnt ask anymore which date the CIC is now processing! Its simply pointless as they will say the "average" date of opening than exactly the % opened at...

    September 2014 Citizenship Application

    However it is good to always send a cover letter addressing "any" concerns that one might have. The file passes through atleast 3 people (Sydney, local and test) and sometimes more. So there is no way of assuming that one might overlook, or get lucky. Its safe to write a letter and explain. If...

    September 2014 Citizenship Application

    garian4u, I spoke with CIC sometime back asking about my decision to move provinces (not just address) and my concern of getting RQ. The agent told that they don't simply issue a RQ because of a recent address change anymore. RQ is issued only when multiple factors come to play at the same time...

    September 2014 Citizenship Application

    If they send AOR through email, will they do the same for test invite too through email without fail? Or they can send one by post and one by email? Any one had this experience?

    Effective date of Bill C24

    Think about this. Many of us are here for more than a decade. Did we lose our original country of citizenship? And some of us are even from dictatorships. Seriously relax guys.

    Effective date of Bill C24

    We are reading too much into the legal wordings. The minister has clearly stated "on video" that "if granted" wording is to prevent applications on the way to the Airport. There is a big reason why there have been inordinate delays in the last because people beleived they can miss test...

    August 2014 Citizenship Applications

    As far as we know there is not a lot of backlog in Mississauga or GTA in general. Infact i wonder if there indeed any? Most pre-July GTA applications are pending post test RQ stage. So the processing speed is real time in Ontario. However in the west there a lot of Jan 2014 applicants yet to...

    The Website for Adult Citizenship Application was Crashed?

    Yeah. Wait, confirm and apply. Call CIC to double check tomorrow. Dont send one if u r not sure. Months will be lost and 4/6 will kick in by then.

    Alberta Applicants

    Honest answer is no body knows given the new processing. Anyone applied prior to July 2014 will have to wait surely for 18 months, if its routine application. Non routine = 3 years? Applicants post July 2014, are finding their files transferred to local alberta offices within 3-4 months. Now...
