Hi Deen,

Well the thing is that first the officer said it s all good and he will get his oath letter in 2-4 months.
Plus his status has been changed to DM since end of June. And yes we provided the tickets and itinerary plus letter from his employer for his travel records.
So he is all clear.. ..just don't know why it takes so long to send out the letter.
CIC has no structure in place and it s super frustrating! We have been waiting now 1 1/2 months since the DM update.
maybe it s a case of not enough space for applicants to take the oath ceremony but than they should clear the people who passed the test first instead of mixing it all up.
We had the same stupid issue with his application in the first place. That it got "lost", so we had to send a new one 6 months later. And than they found his original one. Wtf! I just hate incompetent unorganized people.

Patience, I know! But they seriously have to overhaul this process and get some structure in it. It s just not acceptable and we live in the 21 st century where it s not that hard to creat a right software program to help with the timelines and organization. There is no excuse for this.

Sorry had to rant ; )

Wish your husband the best of luck.

It seems there is an initial residence assessment at Sydney and subsequent one at local CIC office. Subsequently, once you are called in the interviewing officer checks the physical to confirm whether the facts as submitted are in order. If the interviewing officer is satisfied the file is given to Level 2 officer for final clearance.

CBSA records only indicate what date someone entered the country not when they left so this leaves the door open for further possible questioning.

For others who may be in a similar situation, it makes sense to photocopy your passport in full before handing it in to collect the new one. Secondly, keep the evidence pertaining to the travel on hand and even submit it along with your application i.e boarding passes, ticket itinerary,

Not worth risking suspicion leading to delays in my opinion.

The reason I know about these two Level 1 and Level 2 officers is because of CIC citizenship file you can request from ATIP. And it seems the 2nd has the authority to un-do whatever first may have said as Decision is not made at that point. However, since you did provide both the tickets and letter from employer and Im assuming it must have been a reputable/sizeable enough company for them to go accept it then its all good. In any case since DM most likely its a waiting game. For my wife who was processed in Scarborough you can see my timeline but the status remained in process until the very end and when DM appeared the 5th line of ceremony followed few days after.

For sure agreed the process is a little unsystematic and inexcusable in this day and age. Files getting lost.... is just really what can we even begin to say about this. I wonder if they say this just to get an additional set to confirm that all evidences match, who knows :)

But that is great to hear about your husband's case and I think you should just relax and coast to the oath rather then work yourself about it, its done :)

Guys,

I am loosing hope now to get my Oath Letter. Its been 5 months no light. I now feel that they lost my file.

I can not believe and make no sense even after 5 months they are not able to make up any decision. I am really frustrated. Even My whole PR application was processed and completed in 5 months.

What is the possibility of them loosing individual file?

Don't worry my friend. I am from 12th March as well. There are few others too. They definitely did not loose the file.

It is just weird that they will schedule April test takers before March. Not sure what schedule they following.

Same here..

Wrote exam on March 17th with my wife. No status change yet. I think those who have some kind of conflict in the application has been pending for approval from another officer.
In my case there was two points on my wife application. but the officer says OK after looking at our documents. May be he has sent for review.
It seems we are in non- routine now. That's my guess


Otherwise there is no point that CIC ignore March test takers.

Waiting for oath.I am oct 2014 applicant.CIC office during review sent my application for ICES check.

Yes, you a right. We would get RQ otherwise. My guess is that even if it is family application each application is being sent to different officer and therefore one is DM and the other is in progress.
