@ Calgarian_SW congrats... I haven't received anything yet, I even called cic after I read your post but they told that there was no activity on my file yet.

@Boxsir As per the current Calgary CIC progress, you should have your test sometime in March 2015, unless a major speed up happens in Calgary. The normal processing time for routine applications is currently at 18 months.

@wasm_Al The officer was interested only in the 3 year residency requirement, my wife had traveled after we submitted the application but the officer never asked her about that. The officer did check her passport stamps on the new and expired passport to make sure there were no unexplained exit...

I wrote the test this morning and my experience was similar to the others, they let us in a half hour early and we stood in line which was surprising to me because I was thinking there would be seats at least during the interview but that wasn't the case. Officer asked me about my ID's and how...

Again, his interview was in Scarborough, ON. The questions he told me about where about his intention to go back to Dubai (that's where he was living before coming to Canada), where he had worked in detail, how come he was unemployed for six months after landing, rent or own his house, kids'...

To tell you the truth a friend of mine told me that a while back and I never bothered to verify the information. So I could be wrong...

I was referring to stamps on the passport that need to be translated. @eminem I wish it was that easy to translate it from the beginning. Translations are only valid for 3 months, so even if I submitted a translated copy of the passport stamps when I submitted my application, by the time the...

The problem I'm having is that they didn't give me enough notice to get my documents translated, 2 weeks with a long weekend in the middle is too short of a notice. Most of the translation offices I have spoke with are very busy, let alone the high rate they charge now ($5 per stamp). I suggest...

Wow 3 test invitations in one week, I hope this means that Calgary office is making progress. Good luck to everyone!

@a.R Canucks is another word for Canadian people, it also happens to be the name of a Vancouver team

Security checks are done in Sydney, and once they are done with all checks for all adults in the family package, they then transfer the file to the local office. But there is always a possibility that one adult security check takes longer than the other which causes the whole family to be...

LOT=Local office transfer , you can get that information only by calling CIC call centre.

A family application is when you submit an application for each individual in your family but its all compiled in one package. it gets one file number and gets treated as one. the only difference is that the background checks on the adult applicants within the package are done separately and...

But what is your timeline Scorpion ??? Can you update the spreadsheet please

The problem is that no body is complaining, in the GTA the offices work together to reduce the backlog and files are sent to scarborough, mississauga or st clair to balance the work load. But in Alberta there arent enough offices to accomodate for the increasing number of applications...
