Wadelmaki,

Yeah Im really suprise how quick the process was. Im expecting at least a minimum of 24 months. Mine is a single application, went back home 3 times and always employed.

Congrats Jaz, I assumed the snail mail comes first or did you get the eCAS updated?
All The Best!

scooby.tw,

The typical is 24 months to test in Edmonton. There are very few people who got test invite in less than 2 years (Jaz1234 & msc1971) are part of the exceptions.

Do you know when your file was transferred to Edmonton (the only way to know that by calling CIC)?

Wadelmaki,

My file was sent April 2013, and was started processing July 2013.
I haven't got the update from CIC after that..
Perhaps, I should be more patient while waiting calling CIC.

Thank you Canuto! Yeah snail mail came first yesterday. I will check my ECAS and see if they update it.

Hello Everyone,

I had my test first week May. I applied Nov. 2012. Notification to take test last April 2014 - Passed. Still waiting for a notice of Oath Taking. I had an interview right after my test and the interviewer/officer said that they will contact me if they need more documents or if I need to appear for an interview in a judge. If nothing is needed, I will be notified to take the oath. I forgot the exact words but it was to that tune. Is this normal? I mean, what they say right after? I had no RQ but I did quite some travelling and was studying/unemployed (looking for a job)/ then employed ever since. The officer also checked both my passports and checked all the dates in the passport against my application. I hope I get my oath taking notification soon. What happens if one gets denied? One has to re-apply again?

Sorry for all the questions. I know I don't have anything to be concerned but I know myself that by nature I am a worrier thus all the questions.

Thanks .

Dasha, Best advice is just don't worry and go on with your life and enjoy your summer. Worrying won't help expedite things one bit or help avoid RQ or ... If you will get an RQ you will get one, and if you will get an Oath you will get that too. If you never traveled any where you might still get an RQ, you might travel 100 times a year and then get an oath within a month of your interview. they might like your blue eyes and get you an Oath or they might hate how crooked your teeth and put you at the bottom of the heap. No one knows how these things run. For all I know, they probably scatter the applications on the ground, grab a chicken, cut off its head and throw it in the room, and wherever the chicken dies, that's who becomes a citizen and they then have chicken barbeque for lunch (if you watch southpark, you probably know that episode)

Unfortunately the citizenship system is setup to be extremely biased and lacking any equality. They want to delay us from obtaining citizenship and in addition they are making laws that strip you from citizenship easily, so it is a losing battle. Folks from Toronto area are known to have much faster applications. Calgary has like 18 ceremonies scheduled every month while Edmonton only would have like 5. Welcome to Canada.

Hi Immig19! No I did not apply for urgent processing.

 

[CIC1973]

for those who got the oath letter. what do you see in ecas? would it still say "in process" or would it say "decision made" or something else?

 

[Jaz1234]

My eCAS was updated 2days after I received the oath notice. It still shows "in process" until now. Maybe they will change it to "desicion made" once the oath taking is done?

 

[CIC1973]

Thanks Jaz
