[claude15]

Here is my timeline:
Oct 23 2014: application received at Sydney office;
Jan 19 2015: AOR email sent to me;
Jan 21 2015: IP started, according to eCas;
Jan 21 2015: files transferred to Hamilton office. (I called CIC and got this info. It is not shown on eCas)
Now: wait for test letter.

If your applications have been or would be transferred to Hamilton, please share your timeline.

I heard that Hamilton office is very slow. Not sure if it is true or not. ???

Any other Hamilton office applicants?

 

[HIC2011]

Yes my file is also getting processed at Hamilton Office

I was told Hamilton is my office but I have not been able to access ecas. So I have to trust what the CIC call centre say.

It seems Hamilton CIC Office has been very slow for Citizenship processing during the last months. Does anybody know why? I will call CIC tomorrow to inquire about my case, and confirm if my file was transferred to Hamilton Office. I'm pretty sure it was: I live in Burlington.

This is my timeline:

Jun 09 2015: application received at Sydney office;
Aug 05 2015: AOR email sent to me;
Sep 05 2015: IP started, according to eCas;

And it has been like that for the last four months.....any similar cases?

5 months from IP to Test Invite, and 5 months so far and no news about the Oath Ceremony? It's crazy, Loriboo! Hamilton seems to be very slow, I've been monitoring spreadsheets of applicants in April, May and June last year and none of the applications for Hamilton have moved to test.

As I said, I called CIC but the officer told me she was unable to check my application because I needed to wait 12 months from the date it was received in Sydney. She also said, based on my postal code, my application should be transferred to Hamilton, but she was unsure. "The only thing you can do is wait..." she said.
