Kitchener Waterloo Citizenship Applicants

[M.Sanoh20]

Hi all,

Please consider writing to your MP. I’m going to write to all four MPs in Kitchene-Waterloo. The new MP for Kitchener centre, Mike Morrice, is a great guy. And will take constituent’ concerns seriously.

I have wrote to the Waterloo MP and she was no used. Nothing was done, I don't think they have control over CIC/IRCC. I was left disappointed

 

[M.Sanoh20]

Maybe if we all join together and protest they might take us seriously and hire more people

I think we should do this. We should gather in front of Kitchener office before it gets too cold

Yes I agreed

lol i believe thats a bad idea, there are lot of steps in between especially when the paper file moves from one office to other and there are lot of files, hiring and training VO needs set of expertise so its a tough task. Was protesting a solution entire canada would have done same in their local VO. Just a Thought

Well, I wrote to Canada MP and this is what I got back. Maybe some action will be taken. Kitchener office is extremely slow that's where the problem is. Other locations are faster

Dear Mayongbe:

On behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I would like to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence.

I recognize why you have written to the Prime Minister and asked for assistance; however, I hope you will understand that he is unable to personally intervene in this matter.

In your correspondence, you raise an issue that falls within the portfolio of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. I have therefore taken the liberty of forwarding your email to Minister Fraser for information and consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Oh wow that is scrazy that we have to wait for that long. There is nothing wrong with helping others, but ways help your own people first.
For your spousal application, is the person you are sponsoring from Canada? If you don't mind me asking

Oh, I was the person being sponsored back then lol. Yes, from inside Canada. It was in 2017-18.

Hi everyone!

I just got a "decision made" on ECAS, just no notice of what is yet. Fingers crossed I hear something in the next week. It looks things are moving a bit in this office.

A small update,
Today I recieved the Certificate of Canadian Citizenship after 10 days of my oath, I noticed the certificate was issued in Niagara Falls - IRCC office,
that means Niagara office is wehre my application was processed and Kitchener office didn't do any thing.

Thank you! and good luck to all

I applied in May 2019,
Processing started in Sep. 2019,
Test done in June 2021,
Oath taken in Oct. 2021,
Certificate received today Nov. 8th.

The whole process took 30 months to finish, but once you touch the certificate with your hand you will forget all these days of worry and wait, and you will have this feeling of accomplishing something important in this Country.

Oh wow that was such a long time. Is it because of covid? Because when covid started back in 2019 everything got put on hold and 2020 locked down too. Hopefully I will get mine sometimes in 2022
