July 2014 Citizenship Applications

[BLT]

Based on your comment. Iam waiting them to send my package back

I did not write N/A in front of childs education

Quickly send them a letter explaining about it. If it works, it will help. But if it doesn't work, it won't harm you.

Two and a half month.

Took that long?

most likely they send it back to you by regular mail, which takes time.
for people like us that have already submitted, there is really nothing we can do but to wait.

We really don't know.

As an example two years ago when we were sending all the documents for PR cards together We took photos together from the same damn walmart. But the officer rejected my photo and accepted my wife and my daughter photos.

What I'm trying to say is you never know. Don't be nervous.

some ppl told me if they got their application after 1.5 month and if i dont get anything for 2 more weeks, i would assume everything goes through. but yeah, what a waiting game

Did everyone send supporting docs for current and past jobs? I only mentioned them in the application but they didn't mention in the document checklist that we need to send them. They only asked for education documents. Can anyone confirm if an application was sent back for lacking work documents?

As you said nothing has been mentioned in the package asking for some evidence from your job.
I think they can take a look at your SIN number and everything is there.

But I, as a worried immigrant, like always fussed over it and attached all my T4 froms from my current job and previous job.

I really think it's over killed. If it was so important they might ask for it clearly in the package.
They want to make Sure you've been here. Working is not an asset.

This is just my personal underestanding from the mysterious immigration procedure !

Hopefully you'll get your file number very soon

Do call centre have this info about accepted/rejected packets? or if application is sent back?

1095 is the minimum acceptable, I have spoke to many CIC agents and all informed me that what people say in the immigration forums is wrong, if you apply with 1095 you file will pass, if you have more days this will not credit you any additional things as long as you correctly do the online calculator and you have no missing days, and this 1095 days works best for people who never left Canada in the last 4 years before they apply for their citizenship

i am one of them, never leave canada for 4 years before my applications but I got RQ after a month he he he he

Are you from region : middle east or South Asia?
There is a guaranteed RQ for people from these regions, because of many cheating cases.

Hi Guyz,

is there any excel file or a table to put our status and compare?

Does anyone know if the increase in the number of officers(decision makers) to 450 would speed up our applications at all?

where did you see this 450 number?

 

[Windsor_PhD]

where did you see this 450 number?

http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=872659
In the above link where it states "Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has significantly improved its ability to process applications by increasing its decision making capacity from approximately 30 citizenship judges to more than 450 decision makers."
