Hi guys, I will have my test on March 14th, I called the CIC to see what is the status of my RQ, the rep. Advised me that my RQ had some verifications done and some are not done yet. I decided to call again three days later to ask what was verified and what was not as my test is coming very soon, so the other rep. Told me I can see that your background is done but there is "hold" on your file as we still need to do more analsys on your RQ and remember that the none routine file may take up 36 month ! And he refused to tell me what other verifications they need to do ! I'm not sure what did he mean by hold and why they would call me for a test while my RQ is not done yet ... Does anyone have an idea ? Thx guys
the full assessment of your RQ will be done after you had your interview with the officer . The officer will ask you questions , verifies your identity , trips , passports and takes some notes .. they are taking notes , and will forward to the judge . the judge go through the notes that officer writes about your file ...
only after that stage : your file either goes for oath or further verification in which most likely means hearing.
bill C-24 is making the decision making process more simple by taking citizenship judges out of picture . that means all cases will be verified and assessed by the officers . the bill is not passed yet but my impression is that CIC is trying to reduce the backlogs , therefore, they are not referring any more files to the judges these days ...
my point is that , these days , everything is being done more systematically and more efficiently.
I also called CIC last November , and I have been told that my background checks are done , i got notice to prepare in December , and notice to appear in January . I had my test on feb 10 .
I called CIC yesterday , and I have been told that nothing is done on my file after the test . she said that CIC did not even put my test result into the system .
my impression is that January's files been reviewed by judges at st Clair , and their approval letters been sent to Scarborough.
there is no update on my file , and that is because my file has yet to be reviewed by judge .
so far , we haven't seen any oath letter for those who took their tests in February , and we all been told by call center that nothing is done after we had test .
