Re: disappearance of 4th (transfer to local office) line - so called computer "glitch"

What kind of incompetent IT department will allow this "glitch" to go on for months?

Its obvious that in spite of increasing the fees from $100 to ~$650 in ~2 years, no money is being spent on IT infrastructure. The money is probably used to fatten up CIC officials' pay packages and pension. The applicants get absolutely no respect.

If call centre agents cannot provide update on an application unless the ridiculous wait time has passed, then the least CIC can do is maintain an up-to-date online status so people won't bother calling the call centre.

Mississauga and scarborough offices are the biggest citizenship case handling wings of cic

Could be these reasons for mississauga office ,

1. Software problum ,

2. They have changed their working policy ,as do clear old cases instead current cases , put them on hold.

3. Some neccesery chacks and all the procedures has to be done before test and oath right away.

4. Facing Too many applications since jan 2015 because of announcement new rules impletation.

5. ? Somthing eals.

It makes sense now, since all tests have been cancelled at this location as well as Oath Ceremonies, maybe they decided to redirect all Mississauga applicants to other local offices for whatever reasons.

Good luck :)

I don't think they physically transferred our files. I think officers have an option of scheduling ceremonies anywhere else in the GTA. This is good news for us. It means that our files don't have to wait long to be reviewed by an officer and that the fact that Mississauga office has almost no oath ceremonies/ cancelled all tests does not mean that we will not be scheduled for an oath/ test. Of course, it means that by closing Mississauga for oaths and tests the process of being assigned one will take longer, but it looks like the wait time is being distributed between all GTA applicants

Well I am not sure they will transfer files soon. I had my test back on June 11th in Mississauga. By then the officer told me to expect the Oath letter in 4-8 weeks. On June 12th, my ecas changed to 'Decision Made' but nothing else since then.

Two days ago, I called CIC and the call centre agent was kind enough to double check and let me know that I shouldn't expect my oath ceremony any time soon. She said that although the decision was made, the team didn't do anything else on my file and it is not yet scheduled for any oath.

Did she say your application still shows as "in process" in her system? That's what CIC told me. Call center agent said that "decision made" update can simply mean that an officer worked on my file. Once the officer was done, he/she needed to put a status and the only one available to them at this stage was "decision made".
