MAY 2013 Applications (Citizenship)
- Thread starter chandu007
- Start date
Hi, if the guy was in holiday, he couldn't be the receiver of the packages. I agree with Simkr that some thing went wrong at the Sydney office which was not supposed to be. Any mishandling in that office causes serious trouble for an applicant. The services over there should be 100% perfect.

In my opinion, this just shows the importance of introduction of an electronic submission system. If they want to our physical addresses, they can do so seperatey via regular mail; however, an electornic system is a must. They are already accepting electronic submissions for other types of applications.
You're right. In fact, it will speed up the process because system can be linked to verification and it will show the location where the file is filled and submitted.andriy155 said:
I think CIC is making progress most of my friends got Citizenship within a Year (12months) of their application. That's good news for us.

When did your friends apply? From what location? It seems that most applicants who applied in early/mid 2011 are being granted citizenship now. Good to hear that some are getting their citizenships quickly. Everytime I have to travel I have to apply for a Visa. It sickens me.
Very weird. The person who received the applications is very lazy. Sometimes I wish I worked for the Government/Union but then I would be bored out of my mind. People who are eligible to get Green Cards in the US get them very fast. And then the Citizenship is very fast too (if the applicant satisfied his/her requirements). In Canada it takes forever and there is no way to fight it. Plus the information we get from the CIC agents is shady and vague.gta-local said:
Anybody here is married? Maybe we should include nationalities, marital status and date received PR status to see if there is a pattern. Would be fun too.
My info:
Marital Status: Married, no children
Original Nationality: Lebanese
PR Received: Sep 04-2010
Wow that is fast. But how come? 
2011 applicants are still being processed? Do you mind letting me know their original nationalities? For some reason, I think an Australian or British applicants would be processed faster than people from South America or the Middle east. This might not be true. I am just speculating. 8) ;D

However, I had to travel a lot for work and so forth, so applied in 2-1/2+ years.gta-local said:
This system as you know it is not really efficient or fair. I have been here for more than 9 years. I pay taxes, have a Canadian University degree...but still I have to wait like any other person who just landed 3 years ago in Canada.
I wish they had a system where they give advantages to candidates with a Canadian University degrees, who landed jobs in Canada and established their life here (they do in a way by having to fulfill only 2 years instead of 3 years of physical presence - but not enough since as a professional I have to travel which takes a chunk of the time)
We will make it though
Most probably he has been in Canada before becoming PR, e.g. most students do the same.gta-local said:
You would need detailed stats for this which would be skewed by the disparity in the volume of applicants - given China PRC, India, Pakistan are leading source immigrant countries logic leads that they will be leading country citizenship applicants..so if you had 1000 PRC applicants and 100 were processed within 12 months and 20 UK applicants and 2 were processed within the same 12 months who has been processed faster? You need multiple nationality applicants with the same profile e.g. worked 4 years full time, no travel, same FOSS/CSIS/RCMP clearance timelines etc to prove nationality is irrelevant. I think you would find in this case its not an issue and everyone would get the same timeline.farrous13 said:Wow that is fast. But how come?
In fact, both case scenerio they are from Africa. I know so many from Europe that got thru withiin a year. It is more about personal record(no or minimum travel, education, employment, no criminal record and more) and luck (the person that handle the file) :-X :-X :-Xfarrous13 said:Wow that is fast.
