November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[The Arsenal]

My friend got DM today, HE applied in Nov 2017 and wrote test in April 12 2018. We bought have vacation plans to travel in August, any idea what he can do to get called for oath quickly? Why is all offices so slow these days.

Nothing can be done and that's the harsh reality.

Well, today I am exactly at six months since I sent my packet (Nov. 17th), I do not have a test invite yet and if you look at the different spreadsheets Montreal hasn't scheduled one for about six weeks. Let's say I get my test invite and test taken by the end of July. A couple weeks for decision made, and then two months for oath to letter. That takes me to sometime in October. I applied in mid-Nov., yeah lots of drama there.

Ohh I thought you meant 1 year from now as in may 2019. What you said is totally possible. To be honest if they offered me a deal to get citizenship in November 2018, I would take it because I don’t expect anything before November.

Quickly? No. But he can just reschedule the oath if he can't make it.

Why are they slow? They aren't. They are meeting their obligations which is pretty good considering the 10's of thousands of applications that came in October alone.

My location is Brampton and IP since Feb 2.
I was curious about the office where my file is going to be processed (Mississauga/Scarborough) and managed to call CIC today. The agent told me tat my file is still in Syndey awaiting dispatch to Mississauga. Not sure if anyone else in the same scenario.
Looks like the wait for test invite is yet to begin....

yes, even we have been in IP status since Feb 6. We are from Mississauga , not test invite yet.

They really should have a status for being "Pre-transit" because IP is a bit of a misnomer if it's just sitting in Sydney for over 3 months waiting to be sent!

Yeah you are right.. I think the drastic increase in volume of applicants could be the reason..

Has anyone faced problems in Citizenship application because they were working in US while residing in Canada. I moved to Canada as PR last year and I work for US company. I don’t go to US often as I can work from home..
