Grant DF Club

[Falanosfilanos]

Hello folks, I have great news to share!
Finally, after 19 months: got "Congratulations! You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on April 11, 2024."

I feel a huge relief even though the ceremony could get canceled anytime like many other Grant Ceremony DFs , I hope no more "DFs"

Thanks to you all for the huge support and kind words. I wish good luck to everyone.

New timeline events:

- On March 15, 2024, we filed a Mandamus application they call it ALJR (an Application for Leave and Judicial Review (ALJR), with the Federal Court).

- On March 19, 2024, IRCC responded to my lawyer with letter called "No Reason letter" Rule-9, in short basically IRCC said your application is in process, good luck!

- On March 23, 2024, my online tracker account updated "Congratulations! You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on April 11, 2024.", showing my application approved on "March 21 2024",
- My eCas system it shows "Decision Made"

I will share detailed info about Mandamus asap

Congrats! Please share more info about Mandamus. Especially how much it cost you in fees. Thank you!!

This proves that the delay was for no reason and it could be for religion, race or Muslim names based.

Most of IRCC employees are racist af.

Congratulations. So they cleared all “mandatory further verifications” and “3rd party agency checks” in 5 business days. This definitely proves most of us waiting for no reason.

Thanks for your reply, so to get this straight; you asked your MP for urgent Processing, correct?

Yes correct I did 3 times!

did IRCC approve your request ?

short answer my MP never send my urgent request in first place!

 

[Illusionist4008]

totally agree, we are just waiting because someone likes seeing us waiting.

Or they want us to spend money for Mandamus

Yes correct I did 3 times!


short answer my MP never send my urgent request in first place!

I don’t think MP supposed to send it. Applicant is the one who should send it and the MP will follow up. That’s what my MP told me.
