My ECAS is still asking me to update my address - very annoying
Anyone else still having this problem?

Hi Everyone,

Is the Test and Oath happens in the same day? How will you know?
I noticed this from the October applicants in CIC Edmonton and from one of my friends.
Anyone from Edmonton applicants has the same experience?
TIA

Status Update for Citizenship Tracker:

FP Request Completed March 12, 2018. ETA of RCMP check result sent to CIC: 5-10 working days.
Planning to follow up with CIC by March 19th.

My friend , things does not move that fast ,
if you have done FP on 12th , there is no chance by 18th march CIC will have update I can bet on this

However my intention is not to discourage you , but telling you ground reality

Good Luck

Hi members ,

My Question :
- why CIC act differently in response for same kind of request , in above example for me they informed to office for her they are asking to submit again web form if it is not answered yet (obviously that is not answered or confirmed to her yet )

Any clue what is this ??

Thanks

Hello Folks,

My first post on this forum -

Please add my details:
Applied - Nov 3rd 2017
Received - Nov 6th 2017
AOR - Dec 20th 2017
In Process - Jan 8th 2018
Family of 2 from Brampton

One of friend from Oakville applied 2 weeks after me and already got test invite for 15th Mar. CIC should have some serial mechanism of processing applications. It is one thing to have a problem and the application being delayed because of that. However, seeing that Mississauga and Brampton applications are at a grounding halt - It feels bad!
Well, having waiting for so long..hopefully it is for few more months!

My application has been in process since Jan 3rd here in Calgary...still no test invite after almost two months!

I understand the pain - I wish it was a queue system so at least you could predict your status with some degree of confidence. Well, got nothing but wait...wait wait...

only until AOR we can expect a queue system.

After that - every person is different with different backgrounds - nationality, # of countries visited, family with/without minors, documentation types.
Security checks will take ages etc etc. and would take different amount of time to get each stage passed.

I know - many people are venting. But FIFO wont always work. Also, i do not know of any other country offering citizenship with 3 yr residency (there could be - i do not know).

Having said that - waiting is the hardest thing to do. IRCC could do a better job communicating - not sure what they are doing is efficient.
