[bangloboy]

I'll share my timeline with you as well:

Received Application: JULY 2012
Started Processing: DEC 2012
Received RQ and I replied to them: JAN 2013
Got Notice to Prepare for Cit Exam (St Claire Office): JAN 2014

Does anyones RQ timeline mentioned on the website? Mine has nothing of that sorts. Just the last update that they srated in DEC 2012. Let's hope this doesn't take more and more months! I also pray that start introducing the same day test/oath they did in Calgary

ugh. hang in there Lassie. It's been frustrating for sure. I never know if I should give up and reapply or what. It's crazy seeing people that get it done in 7 months!

I also received the Notice.
I just called CIC again and the call center agent gave me a very cold answer: "The form does not give any extra information. You will get the notice to exam anytime between now and May 2015 (16 months!).

Hi Everyone.
I have recently received a notice to prepare for my test, and today i have contacted CIC to get a further information, and the agent over the phone told me they are doing a background check on your application, do anyone know how long it would take to clear the background check.
