Also wanted to say thank you to you, nwtspam, for making the access request and obtaining this info. 

Before you can post the docs, can you tell us what insight they provide, if any, into the process and timeframe for dealing with these new RQs?

Thanks again! :)

- The Residence Questionnaire (CIT 0171)
- New Procedure
- The new File Preparation Templates
- Existing residence and prohibitions cases as of May 7, 2012
- New residence and prohibitions cases on or after May 7, 2012
- Other hearing types

TOO MANY to type. I will upload this internal CIC document (Obtained under the Access to Information Act.) when admin grants me rights to upload files.

Hi Newtspam, can you send it to me through a private message?

Good/Bad news for new applications: Case Processing Centre in Sydney will begin issuing RQ even BEFORE local CIC assessment...

Good: RQ will be part of the normal waiting time
Bad: Will see more RQ requests coming from Sydney CPC

More to come...

May be you could just upload an archive to rapidshare.com or any other filesharing website and post the link here? (and you can remove it from there later)

Yes, please. Instead of teasing us with the file, upload it at rapidshare.com or email it to me. I've already sent you my email address!

New applicants who required RQ should provide documents to cover 4 year period immediately before the date of application. 

No longer requesting "from the date you arrive Canada" like in the past.

More to come...
