Hi All,

I applied in London. Here is my time line:

Timeline -
App Sent: 05/1/2015
Received: 05/07/2015
AOR in eMail: 06/17/2015
Processing Started: 07/22/2015
Test Invitation: 9/5/2015 (by mail)
Test Date: 24/9/2015
Decision Made: NOT YET!!!!!!!!
Oath Date:

The thing that worries me A LOT is that it has been 55 days after the test, however the decision has not been made. The interview went fine (I think) and the officer checked all the stamps on my passport and compared them with the residency calculator. The thing is that I have travelled US by car four times and there were only one Canadian stamp for return. All these travels were before June 2013, so, the US arrival and departure online record only shows the dates I entered US not the departure dates :(. I tried to be smart and ahead of CIC ???, I requested from CBSA the departure and arrival records which I submitted during the interview!. The weird thing is that it only shows two trips to the US and not all four trips!. I think this is where the delay is coming from :eek:. I am wondering if I can do anything to facilitate the process ?

By the way, my wife has a separate application an almost identical to my case. They requested finger prints before the test and during the interview, they requested passport translation. Also, still waiting for DM.

Don't worry. the delay to change the online status doesn't mean necessarily anything. I've seen people in the forum who are already Canadian citizens and their e-CAS is still showing "In Process".

The missing stamps or record also don't mean necessarily anything. Many people here have missing stamps on their passports (me included) and this was never an issue. Officers know that land trips to US will most likely not be recorded by border officers.

Yaay viva Edmonton.
Unfortunately Edmonton is very slow from test to oath. Some of my friends March/ April applicants had their tests 2 months ago with no oath invitations at all.
Montreal is doing great job from application to oath just 6 months.
So true! I had my test in Sept. and still — nothing

If I'm not mistaken the reason fro fingerprints usually is because of a common name. Yes, it is non-routine now. But don't worry. For what I've been reading in this forum, even people who were requested the fingerprints did not have a delay in their process of more than a couple of weeks.

That's not an issue at all. My wife was requested to submit the fingerprints before the test. The test date was very reasonable!
