November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[Goodluck abi]

Guys, Mississauga/Brampton is a pain ... can I request all the Mississauga/Brampton applicants to mention their location when they receive their test invite ..we all can look forward if it starts to move. It is very frustrating to see 25% of the November applicants finish their test while just 2 applicants from 44 Mississauga / Brampton applicants get their test invite which is less than 5%.

I am assuming calling the help desk does not really work - but if we have to is there a number we should reach out ? I read about some requesting notes on their application do they help?

They can work on the application faster, Bt they r jus stupid to put the file on their desk Cos it’s 12 months processing time. Scarborough working faster than Mississauga and Brampton which I believe they have more applications than Mississauga... I don’t mind to write my test at open field or party hall

Hi everyone , my test s around the corner I have done some practice tests online but I came across this video and realized that there are some tough questions that I did not even have a clue about . For those who have given their tests can you please advise if they ask any questions like in this video? or the are more easy like apna toronto etc.

Updates usually reflects in 30 minutes. So, in a short while, open spreadsheet from my Signature and go to November sheet. You'll see your name at the bottom of sheet or do CTRL+F and search with your name. There are around 360 applicants who applied in November and are in sheet. You can draw conclusion that you are in similar position as lot of applicants.

Same for me (parents).
Nothing since Jan 16th.
And the spreadsheet does not reflect this special case of elderly people who do not need test. Their timelines can be different so I think it would have made sense to have it somewhere a checkbox, Requires test, that way we would have been able to filter and see.

hey guys, so I just called the Canadian citizenship line because I haven't received any contact from them for over 2 months. The lady told me that my application was transferred from Sydney office to Mississauga office 2 months ago after they cleared all of the security checks. She said they should of have already reached out with the test invite. Since they still haven't, she is sending them an email to check if they received my application. Sydney office seems to be fast but the hold up seems to be in Mississauga. Was anyone else in the similar situation?

Sydney is just a staging area from which applications are then sent out to area offices based on where you live. Mississauga is one of the busiest offices in the country, so it will be a bit of a wait. You can look at the spreadsheet in previous months to get an idea of what to expect.
