October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[ersar]

"We received your application but haven't opened it. Processing time is 12 months. We understand your frustrations"

It's insane. instead of prioritizing the application based on the number of eligible days, they treated everyone so unequally and unfairly. I knew someone who send her application on November and she is waiting for ceremony. And she just became eligible after the new 3/5 rule. I had almost 1600 days. The most stupid immigration system in the world

Thx. Updated

 

[Kayvanblue]

Please update:
I did my test on March 22nd (Mississauga) - Passed
Ecas updated the very same day- Decision made

for those that still need to study; this is my personal opinion about study sources ;


v-soul (free versions) website was absolutely useful.. the paid version was useless over all 8/10
Apnatoronto website 7/10
Richmond library online tests 9/10

in my opinion, all the paid tests out there have inappropriate level of difficulty

They are receiving thousands of applications. It is hard to open each envelope and then prioritize each. Even in the US is the same.

I got an RQ last week. I had a lot of visits to the US. Please update. October sheet

Thx. Updated

Thanks

It would be appreciated if you can confirm which form you received, the CIT 0171 or CIT 0520 or some other form. Thank you.

unfortunately . . ladies always gets fast and better services no matter if they 've worked or not paid taxes or not . this 's the women worlds !

Yeah it's a lady country for sure

 

[ersar]

you are extremely rushing, mine IN PROCCES since 7 Nov and don't plan to contact them near soon, they can't rush for you and the only answer you will get they tell you 12 month is timeframe. Even if prime minister and immigration minister can't touch anything below 12 months.

Call you MP and ask them to enquire on your behalf explain how unfair the system is and see what happens. This is such a system
