Did you have your kid(s) on your application?

Its a good news for RQ applicants....Calgary is now processing 2014 RQs in superfast mode, that's less than a month. On the other side non-RQ recipients still waiting. CIC is not giving any value to the queue, on another note...Mississauga office is processing thousands of applications within a month, I strongly believe Calgary is not even close to 200 applications a month......


very unfortunate to under Calgary CIC office jurisdiction......

1. What are your respective timelines?

2. Did your wife get the Form CIT0171 (RQ full version) or CIT 0520 (RQ Lite) Documentary Evidence of Residence?

3. Who issued RQ - Sidney or Calgary (check the postmark on the issue letter).

Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver showing movement, I have no idea what Calgary is doing........few Oath schedules and no citizenship test invites, its waste to have an office here, unnecessary burden on tax payer. I am not sure if everybody went on long vacation ??

Does anyone know from a friend at least how long the citizenship application process takes in Calgary? as in from start to finish? I need some kind of average wait time so that I know when to start to worry.
I was told by CIC agent to call them back on October 29, 2014 if I didn't get a test invitation by then, which is a year and a half after receiving my application. I'm not sure what kind of action they will be taking at that point...I hope I get invited for the test before then.

One of my friend applied after 2 months after me in Toronto. Even he got the finger print checking, he is taking exam first week of the next month. For my file, nothing changed.. Just waiting..

Some of my friends who applied last year still waiting the exam date.. I applied by August 2013, and I do not expect anything before next year..

Guys keep in my mind dineshabe was told by the CIC agent that he should be getting the letter for the test in May and if he doesn't he should contact them. I'm really hoping that in the next week or two we would definitely see some activity.

@Panorama47, you should call and see what response you get from CIC call center agent.
