My MP wasn't able to help. His office got the same answers as I did. :(

No, unfortunately nothing still. I called immigration and the only thing the agent told me is that the local office received my letter and that they are still working on it. In 3 months it will be 5 years since I sent in my citizenship application so I'm thinking of sending a letter to the...

Hello Ron, I'm in a similar situation, except my waiting time is even longer! :( I've been in Canada for close to 11 years. I sent my application for citizenship grant in October 2009. Had the citizenship test in January 2011 and nothing since. No RQ, no other requests from immigration. I call...

No, no fingerprints and no additional documents... Last agent I talked to suggested I write a letter to the local office, which I did today and we'll see if I get any update from them. I'm presently pregnant (due in two months) so I'm focussing on that and if nothing happens in the meantime, I...

No criminal record, didn't leave Canada for longer than a week a the time (once in 2-3years), have a good job, so that's what I was thinking, maybe they lost my file? I will give them another month because of the upcoming holidays and then I'll have to do something about it. I'm pregnant now...

I hope someone can give me some answers to my situation... I've been waiting for an answer from immigration for over 4 years now. I applied in October 2009, passed the citizenship test in January 2011 and nothing ever since. I knew I passed the test and an the immigration agent confirmed that...

Hi, I'm posting on this forum again because nothing has changed since last time and I hope I'll have some help from other people about my situation. I sent my citizenship application in October 2009. They started processing it in September 2010. My file was transfered to the Montreal Office in...

It's been two years since I had the citizenship test and over 5 years since I sent my application. Called immigration and yet again, same answer : "still in process" and the agent didn't have any other answers for me! When asked if it's normal to wait this long, the agent said "no" since I...

Hi Anuzgoel, I'm in a similar situation. I passed the test in January 2011 and have been waiting for an answer ever since! I've contacted my MP and they weren't able to help me either because they got the same answer as I did. The local office (Montreal) was doing an investigation on my file...

I spoke to an immigration agent and he told me that if I don't get my Permanent Resident Card on time, I could send an urgent request with a copy of the airplane ticket and then I should get it in about 3 weeks. However, I just checked the immigration site and there is finally an update. They...

The whole process for PR was very long, almost 4 years! I can only imagine that the citizenship is going to take almost as long if not longer since it's already been over 3 years since I sent my application. :( P.S. I'm from Ukraine.

In my case the issue could be the fact that I didn't have my expied passport (the one I used to enter Canada) when I had my citizenship test and the agent didn't like this very much but did not say there would be a problem either. Do you think they are sending a request to my country for the...

Thank you for your encouragement Rose! All I needed to know is that I'm not the only one who's applications is taking this long. My PR expired at the end of August and I sent the renewal request at the beginning of September. I was hoping I'd get my citizenship by then...

I've been waiting for an answer from immigration for almost two years now. I passed the citizenship test in January 2011 and still waiting. Just got off the phone with an agent and he told me my file is still in process. He said they did my background check, my criminal check and now they are...

Hi, I've been in Canada for over 9 years now. Became a permanent resident in the summer of 2007 and then sent my citizenship application in October 2009. I passed the citizenship test in January 2011 and nothing since! Every time I call, there is the same answer "still in process". Last time it...

Hi, Has anyone else have the same problem and if so, is this normal? My application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) was received on October 26, 2009. I got the study book on October 26, 2009. They started processing my application on September 16, 2010. My file was...
