September 2014 Citizenship Application
- Thread starter venecolano
- Start date
Yup you are right . The best approach is to forget about the application for a whiledesigirltoronto84 said:Through my PR and citizenship process I learned one key thing : the best way to deal with the stress is not to think about it. I almost forgot about my application due to work and other social activities and today I was pleasantly surprised to find the test invite in my mail box ...
...Wish you all the very best for your test !
Congratulations desigirltoronto84 !! Do you remember if any of these dates (test letter date OR actual test date) matches any of the information that was quoted in your file released through ATIP? That could be some indication of how true the notes on files are OR can be. Also, what happened of your Europe travel? Are you in time for that? Because once you get the Canadian citizenship, then you will need to surrender the Indian passport which also takes time. Although, I don't think that will cause issues in your Europe travel. But, please share your experience. I am stuck right now as I need to travel to US in the 3rd week of April and to India immediately after and there is no update on my file. Did you ever do a Case Specific enquiry? How long do they take to reply? I had done one more than a month back and still no reply.desigirltoronto84 said:A quick update.
Got the test invite (either today or yesterday. Didn't check my mail box yesterday) - finally!
Letter dated : Feb 18th
Test date : March 11th at 10.15 AM
Place : Scabby town
BTW, I called CIC two days ago and the lady refused to give any updates on my file. She was adamant, she said I need to wait atleast a year before I can call them and ask for updates. I wasn't in the mood to argue that's why I hung up on her.
Congrats.desigirltoronto84 said:A quick update.

Congrats! I think you're the first September applicant with e-mail AOR to get a test invite (or at least that I seen)!desigirltoronto84 said:A quick update.

Since you asked: I got e-mail AOR on Feb 1st and since then no change on ecas -- just says Received on Sep 30th 2014, no in process or anything. I will update the thread on any new information.

When I requested my GCMS notes it was still very early in it's stage - even before I had received the AOR email. I would think that the dates on the document were simply a placeholder - nothing more. To be fair, it was too early in the process to plug in any dates. Most of the activities had "NOT STARTED" flagged against it. That said, there was a date I don't remember which date was it - I know that date coincides with the date the test letter was generated. I think the GCMS notes are more meaningful later on in the process.
Europe is still in the cards; it's end of march. My eyes are on the test date, right now. I will see how things go from there. I will keep everybody posted.
Personally, I take the position that I can't hold my life because of this application. If I were you, I would go ahead with the trips as planned as long as I am not out of the country months at a time - it should be fine. I hope the timing works out for you though.
I did do a Case Specific Inquiry back in December - I got a response within 30 days.
Hey, Thanks!itguy78 said:
I don't think I am the only one. I think there are others as well. I remember getting off this forum for the longest while when I saw that almost everybody on this thread were getting test invite. haha!This is good. I knew you got your AOR didn't know that there hasn't been updates since then. But remember though that your file will take longer time to process as it is a family application. Good luck and hang in there!
I am curious, who is maintaining this google doc?

Hi,
I am in Ontario. Soon gonna apply for citizenship. I assessed my degrees from ICAS which is comparable to secondary education with 2 years of university education in Ontario.
The query is should I applied with Icas report and copies of degrees OR have to get english language certificate (ESL) (upto level 4 atleast).
Thanks in advance
