the same for me too..any indication?godhelp said:
by the way godhelp..what do u think about processing time for April-june batch..?have you confirmed any information?
NO CLUE AT ALL. I TRULY HOPE I MIGHT BE WRONG.NOBODYLIKEME said:
BUT I FEEL April--June applicants processing will be slowed.
They are interested in Clearing backlogs first. Also they are
really moving fast with old applicants to make them Citizens
asap so they can vote in October. If they plan to make April
applicants citizens before October so they can vote, then it
will be lightening fast. But the way statuses are moving these days
from Received to In process, or people receiving AOR that might not
be the case. Crossing fingers things move fast.
thanks for reply. so what written on CIC website for applications before April 1st is not just an example as many people think...godhelp said:
Based on your timeline, it is reasonable to draw an inference that CIC has been looking into/reviewing your claim for citizenship. Hence, the slight change in wording on ecas. It is quite possible that you might see your case moved into "in processing" stage tomorrow or before the end of this week.NOBODYLIKEME said:
Cheers
I hope so. But I think the change in wording happened with all applicants..is not it?CANMAPLE said:
Re: April 1 - June 10th applicants
This is from the CIC website:
New citizenship applications are being finalized in a year or less, and it is expected that the backlog of older files will have been eliminated by the end of this fiscal year. Individuals who submitted a citizenship application before April 1, 2015 will have a decision by March 31, 2016.
The dates in bold above seem to be references to the fiscal year dates that Canada follows. The current fiscal year runs from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. I don't think applications received post April 1, 2015 will be treated any differently than those recieved before that date.
Hopefully this would take away some of the stress around these dates

hey, yeah mine too has been updated to read as "We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on April 15, 2015" but no idea why have they changed it

I think it's changed to stop the confusion
Many people were waiting for a physical letter with the old words

Any news yet I guess we have same time line (application received on April 30)Amine Concordia said:Applicants that applied between April 1st and June 10th should have the same processing time as those who applied after 11th June.
They will get the Citizenship in less then one year
I didn't get the AOR yet :-[alhotmany said:
I called CIC yesterday (Monday), they are still opening the applications received before April 24, 2015.
They told me the same thing when I called them in May 28, 2015.
That makes me believe that CIC reduced the number of agent opening new applications and gave priority to process old applications.
Since the citizenship act reforms are coming into force in June 11, 2015 there is nothing we can do if we get our application back.
Wish you the best
