Winnipeg - 2017 Citizenship Applicants

[dutts]

Hi Guys,

Application status on ECAS is showing "complete" for whole family. A new line added to the client application status

"You became a Canadian citizen on July 24, 2018."

Thanks for all the support from everybody on this amazing forum throughout our journey. All the very best to everyone who are at different stages of the process.

Thank you.

I finally got my test invite. Test is on August 16th.

Hello winnipeg2013,

I have followed your comments in this forum during the recent months, as a person from Winnipeg, and found that you finally received your test invitation. Congratulations after this long time!

I also submitted my documents in 27th of Oct, 2017 and my application went to "In process" in 27th of Jan. 2018. After that, I have not received any feedback regarding my test! However, almost all people from Winnipeg (Oct-Nov applicants) already have received their test invitation letter or even have been invited for the oath ceremony (based on the spreadsheet's information).

I think your situation and my situation are somehow similar!

My question is this:

What do you think was the main reason of your application to be processed much longer than other people from Winnipeg? Are you originally from Iran, Iraq, Pakistan or ... other countries which need prolonged security background checks?

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks,

I do not believe there is any singular or multiple factor(s). I am a November applicant from Winnipeg, went in Process Feb 2018, not from any of the aforementioned countries and yet I do not have a test invite.

As I have said before, this process is a luck of the draw as the agency is trying to meet requirement that a specific % of all applications be processed in 12 months, hence some applications fall into the quick draw, some into the average draw and the rest into the long draw - in the end it all averages out for the year to a processing time, for all applications received, of 12 months AVERAGE.

I agree with that, Few of my friends(from the same place) applied in Jan/February/March got their oath/test. I believe its luck factor and case to case.

Finally its over and I am a proud Canadian now.
Applied Oct 16 2017
AOR Nov 29 2017
IP Jan 11 2018
Test & Oath invite email Aug 3rd 2018
Test & Oath date Aug 9th 2018
Passport application Aug 10

I live 8 hours away from IRCC Winnipeg and this is the reason I was called for a one time pass as they call it and I requested the clerk at the citizenship ceremony to kindly undate my file so that I can apply for passport the next day itself as I have an upcoming travel next week and I do not live in the city to apply after 2 days in person lol and she did it yay.. My ecas was not updated with my test and oath date, after the in process date the next line is I became a citizen Aug 9 Actually the officer called me on Aug 8and asked if I would be able to come next week, like who would say no after waiting for 7 months in process without any updates Oh at the interview she said if the background check isnt complete they cannot do anything as another department handles that and as soon as she got the email saying my background check has been completed, she invited me as my file was quite old lol
Best of luck to all of you, it will come soon
