Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[Goku]

Damn it! I sent another application already. Do you know what's the formal withdrawal procedures??

Yes you have to email them with letter stating reason of withdrawal with your sign at bottom. Raise a CSE and go on from there

Also, to clarify, if you have two applications in the system - that means two payments have been taken. That means no refund.

I sent the previous receipt, didn't make another payment. eventually, I am gonna have to wait for AOR of the previous app before I withdraw the second

 

[jsm0085]

You won't get an opportunity to withdraw the 2nd one as the payment won't be valid. It will be returned to you. I can't tell you how frustrated I am reading these posts. You all need to stop putting in duplicate applications.

Just a random thought:

We can address the files which have been waiting over the 6 weeks estimated time, pending AORs. This is not just causing panic but also frustrations and despair to many applicants seeing applications delivered far later are getting AORs. I believe the Minister's office is not aware of this at all. To make things worse, CIC agents have never barely come with fruitful and precise information. I now see that CIC is not maintaining any queue, but rather randomly working on files without any synchronization with dates of the applications being received. I am myself waiting for over 7.5 weeks for AOR whereas they usually mention 4-6 weeks time for AOR receipt.

I have previously in the past corresponded with the Ministerial office: Hon. Ahmed Hussen (Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship).
AND THEY TAKE PERSONAL EMAILS VERY SERIOUSLY TO DELIVER A TIMELY RESPONSE.
We can personally send an email to the Minister HIMSELF addressing all our files and the issue that we are facing.

Is anybody here with me?
Please respond.

No, this is a dreadful idea. Look at the averages over the last 12 months. It’s perfectly normal to wait 1-3 months for AOR depending on volume of applicants.

This is the kind of nonsense that is causing delays. Just sit back, wait and chill. Nothing untoward, abnormal or strange is happening.

Yes, I am also oct 13 applicant, no AOR yet. But sending individual email may not benefit, I also sent an email areould two or three weeks ago no response yet. But if you send email on behalf of all of us then it may work. We will share our Post/Mail tracking numbers with you. I mean sending one email on behalf of several applicant. If we send individual emails then you will get automatic response to contact your own member of parliament, the minister will not follow it.

... If I were a citizenship officer, and I find multiple applications on my desk, for no serious obvious reasons, other than some applicant who can't wait/be patient, I will process that application for that same multiple as the number of times he sent fresh applications - So if you sent it twice, you will have to wait twice; three times, then 3x normal wait time, and so on...

I don't understand how people have lived in this country for at least 5 years, and still don't know how things work

This forum has just reached next level of lunancy and are going to email minister of citizenship because they did not receive their AOR yet.
This is unbelievable.

I had invited in citizenship oath ceremony in 2015 but due to my personal circumstance, I had withdrawn my citizenship in 2015. I am planning to apply for citizenship now again. In my case, any one knows if I should check yes for question 3(Have you applied for Canadian Citizenship before?)
I've been trying to call CIC but couldn't reach them since my last call.

I think it should be yes.

I did not mean to email the Minister because I did not get AOR in 7 weeks; you got it wrong. I was thinking of informing the Minister to follow with the IRCC so that their officers process files as they are received like: FIFO and not random file processing as they choose. Please use proper words and look at your verbiage while using words like: 'next level of lunancy' (should be lunacy btw)
I beleive, what I mentioned has all levels of sanity in it.
