October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[Gbenga262001]

@razerblade , Thanks for your word of encouragement. I hope and pray I get my AOR soon and possibly have my test done on or be or March 20, 2018 because I will be out of Canada for 2 weeks in March. Hopefully it would have be done before that date.
Finger cross.

Same here as well. Thank you.
The application for my father citizenship was received on 29th nov. My mother passed away last year. I was so much looking forward to having citizenship for both. God’s will..

Dear All,
Sorry, I am posting this again. I posted it 11 days ago and since then I am checking my email every second and calling CIC call centre every day and submitted case inquiry twice. I did everything you can imagine. I sent my first application on Oct. 16th and it was received Oct. 19th, but it had the old form. I called CIC agents; one said no problem while the other confirmed to send another one with the new form ASAP. I did and sent it on Oct. 20th and was received on Oct. 23rd. The thing is that: some applicants their applications were received Oct. 26 or 27 and the got their AOR on Nov. 30. I called CIC to clarify, they told me different answers; like that, they are working on files received on Oct. 19th, so wait some more weeks. While another tells me that those applicants were lucky. How it comes; one (like most of them) tells and confirms that they are working on applications received on Oct. 19th till now, while another one makes it as a hit of luck for those applicants whose applications were received on Oct. 26th and got their AORs on Nov. 30th.
CIC agent gave me two options: either to wait until mid-January or resubmit a third application. But I see that they moved forward and sending AORs to November applicants. I like to gain some more time as I have to go back to my country urgently.
Any advice?
Thanks

So sorry to hear about your mother. It is so hard to see parents leaving us. I remember when I applied for my parents sponsorship 10 years back, he did not want to live in Canada because he had visited Canada couple of times and didn't like here. I insisted on applying for immigration and told him that he can leave Canada after getting PR, if by then he still doesn't like being here. Time has passed and so his perception. Now, he loves Canada and I am looking forward to seeing his Citizenship coming through.

It seems no one from October got AOR today. Two days ago an October 12 applicant got AOR. I hope October 13-20 also get it soon.

It seems IRCC is getting slow on October applications and hitting November applications. Today, 8 November applicants got AORs. I strongly feel that IRCC opens up application packets and check for completeness pretty soon. Then, IRCC returns applications found incomplete, otherwise place applications in some Priority list/ bin. IRCC sends AORs as per priority list, for example, 1st priority applications get AORs faster than 2nd, 3rd, last priority application lists.

Otherwise, what could be a reason that Oct 13/16 applicants are waiting for AORs and applications delivered 3 weeks later have received AOR. Moreover, after reviewing Min/ Max days for AORs for previous few months, there was a huge gap between Min/ Max days for receiving AORs, so there is a trend for that and October is not an exception due to huge volume of applications.

You need a councilor, not an advice from fhe forum members.

Stop panicking, relax, and enjoy the Canadian winter.

Every action that you described in your post was wrong, that's incredible.

What you have been told, is told to everyone who waits for AOR. My application was delivered before yours on 13 October but I am still waiting for AOR. I will wait for one or two weeks more then I will reapply. No one can give you advise. It is up to you whether you further wait or reapply, and IRCC sends AORs randomly there is no rule and nothing can be don.

I just went to india once this tear, passport has 2 Indian stamps entry and exit in English .... to come to canada used PR card so no stamp by Cbsa.

Reg “confirmation of employment: letter describing each position held, date of hiring, and work schedule”. If I just say 40 hrs/week okay for work schedule or on HR letter I should have mon to fri 9 am to 5 pm and totals to 40 hrs/week ??

Next asked me to provide records of employment .ROE... all 5 years sane company , no change . Donno in explanation letter on this doc, what to write. Pls can you give some tips .

Date of appointment, position held, full-time/part-time, hrs/week, salary/hr or however you are being paid.

Ask them if they can. BOX 16 of ROE asks for reason of issuing ROE, they can mention there Immigrant purposes or lets say if they say NO then attach that email from HR and a explanation letter saying as I am still employed with same company, they won't issue me ROE.

I was also asked FP... done today ... finger printing ...

Let me go start a thread for my fellow 13ners so they have a platform to share their reasonable fears.

Just kidding

Perhaps the thread would be deleted as a duplicate thread?
