June 2014 Citizenship Application.

[51smoker]

called cic this morning, she said everything is fine. once my app is transferred to local office, I might be able to see ecas, which will probably happen in months. Basically, every call centre agent is tell a different story.

Hang in there guys.... we are all in one boat and shall get through this together sooner rather than later.
C-24 announcement bumped up application numbers enormously and every case worker works differently and hence differing updates.
Good luck to all of us!

Go and have a good brew of coffee and enjoy the beautiful weather

I am getting a little worried about my application because I sent it to Sydney on July 7th and it was received on July11th. Until now I am not seen anything on e-cas or any AOR by e-mail.
I am wondering what's going on with my application. Anyone else going through this same problem?
I am going to wait until the end of this month and if I don't see anything on E-cas then I'll have to send a Case Specific Inquiry.

Also to those of you who received your applications back because of missing documents, did anything show up on E-cas?

Yes I am a July applicant but I decided to ask in the June forum because I am received replies from a few questions I asked before. I would appreciate your helpfulness. Thanks.

Same situation like yours. Sent to Sydney on July 7th. No news at all, neither email confirmation nor e-CAS. Have you sent then case specific inquiry? I haven't done so yet. Will probably send it in early October.

Called CIC and the lady said that they received lot of applications around Mid-June so the files numbers been created (Applicant who have received Email confirmation) but have been put into inventory to be processed.They are processing files for June-19. Some officers used old method thus some applicants got AOR letter by Canada Post and not the email with application number. Those who are getting processed by new system got email. She said me to that I may/many not get AOR by postal mail but e-cas should be available in 3-4 weeks time. eCas is not active as applications are still in inventory to be processed.

FYI: I submitted for address change and added representative through online case enquiry and details on my application updated as the lady confirmed my new address and details of representative.Online case enquiry works even if they do not reply to you. My application is still waiting to be processed but they are hoping that it will be in process soon . Moral of the story we need to have patience as they have lot of application from June. And in case you want to enquire or add/update any information use case specific enquiry. Hopefully once our application status changes to "in process" it will be processed faster.

That's some good information there. Thanks. I submitted a Case Specific Enquiry yesterday to update my address.

key to the process is 1. when Sydney creates your file and clears all background checks
2. when local office receives your file and find no further issues, then test invite will be sent
3. after test, it really depends on the capacity they organizing ceremonies, like ppl in GTA who receives oath invite right after test but ppl elsewhere must wait another 2-6 months.

I think sydney only creates aor and all the processing is done at local office. Sydney does not hv time to do all bg checks for all applicants. That is where local office comes i This way local office will only hv to deal local applications. Point is if sydney starts doing bg then system will crahs as it would hv to do checks for all canada. Therefore once filetransfered to local office actual processing begins. Sydney only does initial screening and creates files. Thats all

Very likely

According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/grant/adult.asp, under Clearances:

The applicant must not be subject to the prohibitions contained in sections 21 and 22 of the Act.

Applicant must pass all clearances: Immigration, criminality (RCMP) and security (CSIS).

The CPC-S initiates all clearances. ...

Enjoy !

Hi,
I like to mention something , that CIC has issued a modified OB 407.. Like OB 407B,C, in which they shorten the RQ triggering criteria.
But generally CPC-S will handle all giant background screenings

Thanks
