Scarborough office / timeline after test
- Thread starter laxmikanthms
- Start date
This is for my wife:
We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on November, 2014.
We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on January 27, 2015. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
We started processing your application on February, 2015.
Your file was transferred to the Scarborough Citizenship Operations office on February, 2015. The Scarborough Citizenship Operations office will contact you.
We sent you a notice on March , 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test on April, 2015. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.
Still waiting for the oath invite.
My timeline was along the following lines: Mississauga, Glenn Erin
Applied Nov 2013
Received sent letter Jan. 2014
Sent to Local Office: May 2014
Asked to come in for interview/test: Sept 2014
Passed the test 20/20 and interview was OK - given oath letter for week after, citizen Sept 2014
We applied for her a year later as she had been out of the country 6 times and each time was a month to two every time, I went out 4 times on business and were short trips, up to 2-3 weeks max. She was well over the 1095 days and we submitted all the documents + RQ letter + all evidences along with it from the start with the initial application for both of us. I think this may have saved us some time in CIC not coming back to us asking for more dox/proofs.
Hope this helps.

Here is my story for those outhere waiting for an update on their case:
January 2012 - Application Received
March 2013 - Passed Test
May 2013 - RQ submitted
..
..
Absoulute silence while my File was getting dust
..
..
January 2015 - ATIP Received
March 2015 - Case Especific Inquiry
After waiting for 36 months, I finally decided to ask for ATIP last January. ATIP showed absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty much my File was stored somewhere in a lost cabinet getting dust and only checked by CIC raccoons and squirrels, which probably were crying or laughing at my case.
I strongly believe asking for ATIP helped CIC officials to realize my File was lost in 2012-Forgotten Applicants cabinet. Right after that I filed out CIC Case Specific Form online for those 'non-routine' applications, CIC came back to me to let me know my File was recently submitted to CIC Scarborough office for Oath ceremony schedule.
eCAS hasn't been updated yet. Long story short: get your ATIP and fill the Case Specific Form online once your processing waiting time exceeds the 36 months period.
CIC has left 2011-2012 applications way behind their priorities and right now are giving extra time to process 2014-2015 citizenship applications. My neighbor applied in August 2014 and got his Citizenship in February 2015... niceeeeee !!!!!....
Finally got my oath letter in April 28. Ceremony is scheduled for 11th of May, and it is going to be 40 months since they received my application... My eCAS system still shows "In process" for my application.
thanks to everyone for your wonderful help..... I wish all the best guys

I thought I could sign off from this thread. But, when I went to Passport Office to apply for passport this morning, I was told my certificate is not valid yet!!! This is 2 business days (4 calendar days) after my oath... We were told during the Ceremony that we should be able to apply on Monday morning... I had to call CIC again and was told to wait for another 2 business days. You never know, waiting is endless here! :'(
(I also ran into my judge for 3 times in the building
)
My ECAS has updated, though.
