September 2014 Citizenship Application

[itguy78]

I wrote test in Hamilton this morning. It's so easy that it only took me 2-3 minutes to get it done. My score is 20/20.
The interview was quite straightforward as well.
I was told that the Oath Ceremony might be in July or early August.

Congrats! I know there were a few other September applicants from Hamilton as well.

That can be tough. I would "suggest" you to obtain CBSA travel records and (if possible) travel records from any countries you visited in the 4 year period. Since you had RQ I assume you already provided all kinds of proof to support your physical presence, so the only other thing would be to prepare any kind of proof showing that you lost your documents (and applied for new ones), like police reports, etc.

Today my ecas status was changed from "in process" to "decision made".
I wrote the test on June 11, in Hamilton. Everything went well that day.
Hope to receive the oath letter in a few days.

Congratulation to you!
It seems you got the status change before receiving the oath letter. Is it a normal procedure?

Thank you, Ualiu.
I am not quite sure about other offices, but I think that should be the normal procedure for Hamilton office.

Hi guys,

Really hoping if I can get some insight on what I can do..or honestly, keep waiting b/c I have no choice.

I reside in Mississauga, and so I sent my app in Sept 2014. My ECAS shows below:


We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 2, 2014.

We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 2, 2014.

We started processing your application on November 3, 2014.

I've been reading some posts and notice a lot of people get a notice that indicate their application was transferred to the Mississauga office, but mine does not show. I applied it to the St. Clair office (which I'm sure majority of the GTA applicants did as well). Would I get any helpful information as to whether it's being held on to or delayed if I called the CIC Centre and talked to an agent? Any advice?

** I also noticed how the ECAS got rid of the "Transferred to Mississauga (or wherever office)" so either it is already transferred and I just missed that line. A lot of people saw it and then it was gone later in a few days..Could it be in Mississauga office and I just don't know? Would an agent be able to know if it was transferred? **

Thanks

Three options for you:
1) call CIC
2) order an ATIP for detailed information which takes about one month to get reply
3) contact your local MP (member of parliament)

Quick question, what was the final response from the officer in your case. Did they say something similar to 'you will be receiving the oath letter'?
I'm curious, what kind of response they normally give after the interview.

Hey Guys my status change from in (processing) to (decision made) Is that mean something
