[Macarad]

Let’s sing happy birthday to my Decision Made? It turns six months old today.

Hopefully, we wont have to sing anything for the one year anniversary

Misery loves company...

I feel you =/

25 months since my application was received next Tuesday.
My sister is getting married in December, I have no idea if I will be able to make it.

I couldnt find any email ID for my local office in citizenship pdf. Does anyone have email ID of Mississauga or Scarborough office?

It should have been the email 'from' address when you get correspondence i.e. notice to do citizenship exam.

Edmonton is CIC-Edmonton-Citizenship@cic.gc.ca so walk back from there. CIC-Mississauga-citizenship@cic.gc.ca or CIC-Scarborough-citizenship@cic.gc.ca ?

Hello to All,

I was asked to provide color pages of passports and I did so. My local office is SCR. Now it has been nearly 2 months no feedback or further update. I sent the pp copies by registered mail and obtained delivery signature as proof of receipt.

Can someone advise me if I need to followup via web form / call them or wait.

Appreciate to share your experience and advice.

I sent and heard back after a full month

// response from Mississauga office//
Sooooo unfair ..

We apologize, we cannot give you a specific time frame. Since the beginning of COVID-19, IRCC has been increasing its use of digital tools to process Citizenship grant applications. E-applications were implemented in November 2020 in a limited capacity, and other virtual tools have been implemented to move towards virtual processing to the extent possible.



Applications are processed utilizing a first-in first-out processing model, with a small number of the oldest e-applications being processed as well. This ensures that the oldest of paper applications are processed while also allowing the move towards online services. Service delivery and processing times may vary depending on the complexity of each individual case.



The pandemic has had a considerable impact on overall processing times and they may vary from location to location depending on local inventories. IRCC is closely monitoring processing times and is working towards decreasing them as quickly as possible---

So, they denied they jump the queue? They maybe think we don't have access to who is progressing.

Got a Response today from the Missisauga office. They are prompt in responding as I emailed them on Friday.

I sent the email to: CIC-Mississauga-Citizenship@cic.gc.ca> and <IRCC.DNCitMISScheduling-ConvocationMISCitRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca>

This is there statement:

Your application was originally processed by the CPC-Sydney office, but they were not able to complete it. Your application has been forwarded to our Mississauga office. Your application is in the queue to be assessed by an officer. We will contact you in the future, in regards to the next step on your application.


I dont know what to make out of the Sydney office not completing my application.

I think during the pandemic early on, most applications were processed centrally. It seems that now they distribute them to local offices.
