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

[Kan_Sri]

Hi,

My test was February 14th, and I passed it with 20/20. The interviewer asked me a few basic questions but kept looking at all my passports. Unfortunately the dates more entries on my applications than stamps on my passport. So she checked off “No” on the question travels matches the passport, and she made me read and sign the form.

So when we were done, i asked her if everything is ok, and she said everything was fine, she will forward this to the officer and they will make a decision and send a letter for oath.

Now on Friday, my status online changed from in process to “Decision Made” but I haven’t received any email or any mail. I called in today and the agent said there was nothing sent off and to wait.

So long story short, my question is whether you receive a letter by mail or email when a decision has been made? And could it be a negative decision? How long after decision is made that you get the oath letter?

Thanks in advance

No email or notification is sent for Decision Made for ANYONE! you have nothing to worry. As of now - all you can do is wait. Usually if it changes from IP to DM after the test - it is a good sign. IF they had any questions - they would have requested more documentation before it goes to decision made.

Depending on location you can check the tracker to see - average decision made to oath invite dates.

You need to wait until you receive the letter from IRCC. In the letter, you will find the mailing address that you need to send the police certificate.
I suggest to send it by "xpresspost" with Canada Post because it has a tracking number.
All the best!

I didn't wait for a letter from CIC. I received police certificate yesterday, i went to Hamilton IRCC office and handed it over by hand and today I'm Decision made.

Hello,

How is the office that processes the file determined?

HS

location of the applicant determines the office where the file is processed. In toronto/brampton/Missasgua - there are multiple offices, hence the application can go to any of the offices based on work load.

Hello,

I am October 2017 applicant. Still the status shows "IN PROGRESS".
When a decision is made, does IRCC send an email or snail mail? will the status still remain "IN PROGRESS" until the Interview/test is cleared?

Thanks,
HS.

No notification is sent out for IN process or Decision made. Only ECAS is updated.

Test pass is just one of the conditions for decision made. Other eligibility conditions are also scrutinized such as criminality check and residence eligibility.

Why would it be a negative decision? Your interview went fine, except that travel thing which the officer seems to have verified and hence your status changed to DM.

You won't receive a letter when the status changes to "DM". Your next step is the Oath letter. Not sure which office is processing your application - but if its scarborough it may be a long wait for Oath!

Very Tough Experience for Test...
I applied for London visa last week..(World's best stupid mistake without noticed I have Citizen Exam on 13 March 2018).
My passport was in UK embassy. I was very nervous coz i don't wanted to miss this date. Then they allowed me to sit in exam and said its up to officer to accept it or give you next date. so Whole exam i was just thinking hope they will allow me...and I got Exam paper B which was bit Hard than i was expecting.

Some question they asked in different way which i hardly understand ..
(I got 16/20) I was not sure even if i pass it or fail it. then i go for interview she checked my all papers and i explained my situation and...at the end Thanks to that officer...who said Congratulation you passed the test and you will get Oath Letter in you mail. now good to go...woowww....

Really....biggest stupid mistake i ever made...
Please update timeline

Quick question - I had received FP request that I have completed two weeks back. Is it possible to find out that RCMP sent out the result to IRCC or if IRCC received it? The FP request was initiated at St Clair office in Toronto.

Thank you !

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/tracking-rcmp-fp-so-worried.548231/#post-6781461 (and other posts) mention that you can check in with the RCMP to find out if they have submitted the information.

You can call the IRCC and ask if they have received the fingerprints (if it's been a while since the fingerprints were sent, as it takes time for IRCC to process their incoming mail).
