CIT 0520 after citizenship test

[Jaroddz]

Sent my complete RQ with all the docs yesterday and it was received by CIC today. Fingers crossed. This is the final stage of submitting all the docs.

Hi Andrew, any advice do you have regarding the RQ and the documents to provide?
I'm starting mine tomorrow.

I don't know buddy. if you have any specific question I can answer then I would be more than happy to help. I have sent them all the damned docs they requested. Do submit a translated passport copy even if the stamps are bilingual. I have sent all the bank statements, credit card statements, rental agreements and receipts so if you have any questions do ask.

Hi Jaroddz: did you get your case ATIP/ GCMS report. I guess you requested last month... Please share key details if you can....thankyou

My one piece of advice to all those who are replying to RQs. Always send along a cover letter firstly informing exactly what documents are included in the envelope. And short notes on each type of document explaining points you think might be confusing. Keep in mind that a total stranger ( the CIC officer) will open your envelope and pull out a thick bunch of documents. If he/she finds a cover letter explaining what you have submitted and some notes , then how much easier will it be for him/her to proceed with the evaluation.

100% agree.
In my case, I added a page number to each single document and provided a cover letter and Index showing the document title and related page number. I believe that did help as St Clair only took 2 months to review my full RQ (more than 600 pages) and issue a decision.

I did the same but - It's been about 4 months and I don't believe my file has been reviewed as yet.

It's definitely advisable to make it as easy as possible for the CO to go through your documents. However, I wouldn't get disheartened if they do not respond back within a few weeks / 2 months.

Thanks, I'm going to start collecting the requested documents and add the cover letter as well.

Meet your local MP and explain your problem. MP can follow up you case with CIC.

ATIP is helpful but not at stage of CIT 520 or full RQ , this is a long process and will be handled by dedicated CO
i am waiting my ATIP as well , overdue too . contemplating the options to withdraw the application rather than going into this dilemna
