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

[sns204]

hi guys,

Just spoke with CiC agent. Got horrible news about my app. She said they didnt receive my app. And they started opening Nov App now. She advised to wait couple more weeks as it might displaced or apply new one. In option B, I dont have to pay fee again. I can used old receipt for that.

Well, thought?
Thanks

I'd call again and see if another agent told me the same thing.

Nothing strange about it, really, as it's a typical call centre. Call a third time and I'd wager you'll get a different answer.

I'd wait it out a little longer.

I agree 100% sometime I think they just come with and answer afterwards getting the same calls over and over.

Unless you have a very specific request from the call centre, it really is pointless to call in asking about AOR

I agree. I dont like calling them again and again. I will wait a bit more and have other set of application ready just in case.

FYI 35% of applicants whose application was received Oct 25 still haven't received AOR according to the tracking sheet

My application was received on October 16, AOR on November 9, No news since then.

Same here

Spot on, and call a fourth time and get another answer.

This is certainly inaccurate information. As obviously shown from the data collected through this forum, delays occur for a variety of reasons. Reapply if you want, but I would suggest additional patience to not gum up the works with unnecessary multiple applications.

Second that.

 

[emamabd]

I would recommend you to reaply because they are processing November 10th now. Your application may be lost it.

How would an application be lost? Curious to know if it ever happened to anyone before, or are these just guesses/speculations?
Its the Government of Canada that handles those applications, not a group of careless teenagers/ kids...i personally think the chance of an application being lost is less than 1 in a million.

hahahahaha... Honestly, though, the way people in this forum are concerned that their applications are lost would lead one to believe that it happens a great deal. I'm sure that it happens, don't get me wrong, but I'd bet it's single digits over the 10's of thousands of applications they receive a year. I know they are a government bureaucracy, but come on....
