Hi dr_majed8835, During my first interview my passport was being renewed so they had to go through my Records of Movement - I travel quite a bit too for work and there were a lot of stamps that I had to verify. Most countries will have the English translation written somewhere in the stamp- but...

Here is the rough timeline (no exact dates): April 2012: CIC received my application November 2013: Took the citizenship test March 2014: Additional documents requested May 2014: RQ requested Current processing time: 25 months.

That's interesting, thanks! And also heartening to know that I'm not the only one. Have you already received any updates since you sent in your RQ? Also, I wasn't sure how to obtain Records of Movement as the Philippines doesn't seem to offer this...

Hello all, An update- I've now received an RQ, with more requirements than the last. I assume I'll have to send the exact same documents (passport copies, travel proof) and then some, and I'm now wondering if it's worth considering dropping my application and then re-applying after a couple of...

My faith is restored! Thanks for posting this. I have so much more energy to gather the documents now....I'm a few days short and I can definitely explain that most of my days outside of Canada were due to traveling to conferences for work. Hooray! Again, thank you :)

I guess I have a long time to wait then....Assuming I send my RQ before March ends. Do let me know what your timeline is after! :)

I agree! I think if my application gets rejected, I will re-apply to the Mississauga office...hopefully they'll still accept applications by then.

Which is definitely what's happening with my case. I wish I'd realized this sooner. :(

I took my test in November 2013 and had a similar experience. I passed the test but they needed to verify some entry/exit dates. I was recently sent an RQ, so it's not very great news for me. I don't think it will be the same for your case though, as it's only one stamp. My case was more about...

Hi everyone, An update on my application - I received a letter in the mail from CIC for the RQ - although it only required me to provide the passport pages and my supporting travel documents, nothing else (ex. records of movement, rent/lease agreements, etc). So it's still 50/50 at this point...

Wow that's awesome news! I'm hoping this is indeed the case. Thanks for making my day! :)

I took the test in Mississauga. They were very nice over there.

This is a great document, thanks for doing this!

They didn't say much over the phone - just that there were two dates that I didn't mention on my application (which I didn't do intentionally) and that I should look into it. I think they're going to mail me something but they didn't say what exactly. Maybe it's the RQ?

Thanks, I certainly hope so. I'm of course very willing to explain all this to a judge if given the opportunity. But with citizenships becoming harder to come by (or so I've heard), naturally I'm worried.

Thanks! What usually happens though? I'm curious if there's a likelihood I appear before a judge, or get handed and RQ...versus an application rejection. It's too bad this happened AFTER I took the test :(

I applied for Canadian citizenship just shy of the 1095 residence day requirement (I believe the online calculator mentioned 1098). I believed my travel information was accurate and submitted. I have since been called to take the test and passed. Unfortunately I did not have my passport during...
