[number411]

Thanks for your wishes i wish you will get soon. I am from Calgary

Thanks. Btw how did you find what office is processing your file?
I'm in Toronto, but I was asked to send fingerprints to vancouver.. does this mean our file is processed in van?

It's a bit puzzling because we've many offices in southern ontario

Hi. I got my test date today. For feb12
But i just says test date and no interview. So do i get interview letter later on. I have two small kids in my application do i have to take them with me as well Do anyone know about it. Thanks

Isn't your test invitation a 2-page pdf and containing this statement on the second page?

"When you write your test, you will also be interviewed by a citizenship officer to verify your identity and the originals of the documents you provided at the time you applied. During the interview, your knowledge of English or French will be verified. For more information on the official language requirement for citizenship"

London office is among the slowest, frustrating checking the application status everyday and hoping to get invited to take the test.

Hi people, when you send a message to CIC through their online form, unfortunately, you don't receive confirmation in your email box.

I would like to have some record of the message I sent them... It was almost a month ago and no response yet.

It was to update an info on their end: can it be they simply felt there was no reason to send a quick acknowledgment of receipt?

yes, and I don't understand why.....KWC area and London are worst.

I am from Ottawa. my status changed to "In process" on Dec 10 and I haven't heard back since then.

My current passport is expiring on July 30th, 2020. Considering the fact that my current passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months, I will be unable to travel outside Canada after Jan 30th and I was planning to go few places.

Would this be considered a valid reason for urgent processing?

Thanks everyone

Absolutely not!

Unless your country no longer exists and/or can’t renew your passport.

It is puzzling how London could be slow.. their application count may not be high. Someone said Scar and in general GTA is the slowest because of volume of applications.
