I have not heard any thing yet, I did apply in June and I was told my file is not located and advised to resubmit and I resubmitted another file in September and then I was told my file of June 2014 was located.
the email confirmation came in late September (email acknowledgement), and nothing else is yet
According to the other thread with people who received email AOR, I don't think anyone has so far received test invitation after getting their files transferred to the local CIC office.

My file was not transferred to any office, the last communication was the email confirmation (AOR), and every time I need to check the updates of my status with the ECAS, nothing comes.
How I can verify my file status without contacting the CIC over the phone as they themselves do not know any thing and cannot access my file other than saying that my file in progress.
cheers

Just finished call to the CIC, the agent this time is very professional, when I called yesterday, the agent did not tell me the details, she told me that my file is in process, but the agent was very specific, he told me all the verifications are finished, and my file will be transferred to the Ottawa office and they will invite me for the test.

that means, when file is transferred to local office, all verification have been done? and there is not any verification there? Do you know which office ask for RQ? local or Sydney?

I hope that is true. Don't want to discourage you ..but do not trust them. I heard this twice in my case that everything is done ..completed you will get test.(I did not have eCAS access that time).

I think that is true, why they lie to us, the system is very slow but they transfer the file and it will take its time, and I know people whose files were transferred to Ottawa's office beginning of December 2014 and yet they did not hear any thing.

It is Ottawa office, the RQ can be asked any time during the process, and I know people were asked RQ after their citizenship test.

Hi - This question is for those who have received passports:

Does the passport office give us any tracking # while we receive the passport? Does it come into a mailbox using CanadaPost or through a courier?

What is turn around to receive passports under normal of normal processing?

I have applied for passport through one of the passport offices under normal processing and have told me that I would received in a mail. Receipt mentions mail-out-date exactly 10 day from applied date. Just curious to know about above questions. Appreciate if any of us had any prior experience. Thanks
Today, I have received our passports through Canada Post xpresspost service(signature required). I had done under normal processing and it took 5 business days to receive. Now I feel Canadian ;)

There is a form to fill out if you do not need your place of birth to be included in your passport ... was wondering if anybody ever used it?

I applied @ Mississauga Passport Office. Not sure and I did not hear anything from my guarantor as well regarding call. And regarding place of birth, no I was not aware of it... but, thats OK.

Beware with not wanting your place of birth to appear on your passport. Read this (scroll down to Place of Birth): http://passport.gc.ca/info/section1.aspx?lang=eng.

Congrats kumbu.bumbu, do you have any idea when you will be called for the citizenship test?. I know some one who his file transferred on December 9, 2014 and until 23 January 2015 he did not hear any thing.
My file when I called, I was told that it is completed verifications and will be transferred to Ottawa centre (in transit)
