Since the ATIP I received has nothing updated and I'm limited to speak to CIC. I stopped by MP office and this's an email sent from the PM office.

Dear me,

I spoke with CIC regarding your file today. It is processing at a normal rate. Different files go at different speeds depending on the level of verifications needed.

Thank you,

Very vague and meaningless. The only place that can answer particular details about our file is CIC Calgary and you must pay a visit there on their "open days" (for test or oaths) or email them cic-calgary @ cic.gc.ca (as told by my friend who work in Harry Hay Building).

Did you see 'approved' & 'oath ready' on your ATIP report?

Did it say 'passed' for FOSS & Security checks? I am surprised nothing has been done if you applied back in August 2014. No test yet?


Criminality
Security Clearance: PASSED on 2015/05/20

They corrected my presence days from 750 days to 1,100 days. I was asked to send in copy of first entry to Canada to prove it. It was initially sent in when first applied wondering why they asked for again. Lol wasn't my fault anyways my app is non routine.

Yeah I saw people come for questions at the same time as ceremonies so you check the ceremony schedule or email to them - you get a better chance to let in or talk to officer if you can convince the security lady why you must be seen there. They always tell us to call hotline for questions which doesnt help!

Hello

Appeared test today and passed. The CIC lady told me that it will be 1-3 months for the oath invitation but most likely on September. My question to you, when CIC does send invitation letter how much of notice period do they provide?

Regards.

Guys,
My application has in 'Decision Made' state since about a month now (i've passed my test on May 2015, application sent in Aug 2014), and I'm thinking of requesting ATIP report soon.

I'm seeing that a few people did get oath requests yesterday, I'm willing to wait until end of this week to see if I get my oath invite,, and then apply for ATIP if I don't hear anything.

Can someone please point me on how to apply for this? Should I request my information under the 'Privacy Act' or 'Access to Information' act? Also do we need to submit/scan any supporting documents?
