Kitchener local office after Bill C6

[Mustafa100]

Why Kitchener office is very slow, we paid them money to process our applications on time ( 12 months ) or at least same as other locations ( Toronto, Montrial , etc.. )
Qutrit didnt get his test invitation after 12 months of application, is this Normal?
Can we do something ?

His application was received on Nov. 9, 2018 so although it is coming up fast technically it has not been more than 12 months yet. By the looks of most KW/Waterloo applicants, they are getting their test invites plus or minus a week before or after the one year anniversary of applying.

What is the best course of action to figure out about my application?

Good morning everyone!
Below are my numbers:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 13, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on February 26, 2019.
3. We started processing your application on March 21, 2019.

Last time I contacted CIC (web form), they did say that my application is in Kitchener office now to verify the eligibility if we meet the requirement to be Canadian Citizens. No invitation for the test yet. Any thoughts?
Thanks a have nice snowing day

IF its more than 1 year then give CIC a call. they will be able to help schedule your test ASAP.

Right now for Kitchener office peeps are getting test invites within 12-13 months. And then it takes another 1.5 to 3 months for oath ceremony.
