is RQ issued from CPC Sydney or from local office. When file is transferred to local office, what do they process ?

I understand they can come from both, at any time. There have been cases of people getting RQ after taking their test, even.

I believe local office is primarily responsible for assigning test, oath, providing the certificate, etc. CPC-Sydney does the majority of actual processing, security reviews, etc. So once it goes to the local office, it more or less sits in queue for the next step (e.g. test, then oath), unless they see a need for an RQ, which then adds further delay.

I'm not an expert though, this is just what I've gathered from the forums.

so this means for a typical case it can be assumed that CPC Sydney does the actual work on the application (confirm the applicant is qualified etc.) and the local office does the scheduling and gets everything ready for the Oath?

Hi folks,
I took the test this morning in Vancouver, got 20/20. Interview was smooth, officer was kind and took only 3 minutes.

Yes, at least that's how I've interpreted it. And based on my ATIP, it doesn't look like there's much more to do for my file, after it goes to local office. CPC-Sydney will have already done mostly everything by that point. The problem with my office is they only do something like 2-3 oaths per MONTH, not sure of how many tests they schedule, and they're still running at least a full YEAR behind schedule.

So did you get your Oath date. Can you tell us which country are you originally from? and if you did get RQ or not.

Hey guys,
I passed the test this morning(vancouver)
My interview took a while(5-10mins) since I've been travelling a lot in last 4 years.
The officer was friendly and an the end she told me that everything is OK on her side, I need to wait for the final decision and allow 3 to 5 months for the next step.
Is there any step other than the ceremony?
Is it possible to get a RQ at this point?

 

[om saif]

congrats guys !! very happy for you.
for the ATIP report, one important question that will tell when should expect the test invite. say you ordered that report June first and received it July first, what should you see in that report? exactly what is happening until July first or until the time they wrote the report and received the request?

Congrats! and best of luck for a speedy final step
