RQ Timeline

Rqcadet wrote: CIC needs multiple class action law suits or multiple writ of mandamus at one time which will really make them turn their heads.

Those in the GTA should check out this meeting Tuesday about a possible class action law suit for RQ recipients.

Ariyana A. Rad (immigration consultant) and Lorne Waldman, well known immigration and refugee lawyer will discuss different legal options for challenging the unreasonable citizenship delays.

7-9 pm, Tuesday July 30th
North York Civic Centre, room 1
5100 Yonge St. Toronto, Ontario

This meeting is open to all. Also, it will be recorded and posted online at a later date, for those of us (like me) who are outside of the GTA.


*Just to clarify, I haven't organized this meeting, I'm passing along the info. I'd totally go though, if I were in Toronto.
**I assume that Ms. Rad and Mr. Waldman will also be signing up new clients. I encourage people to do their due diligence and try to thoughtfully weigh the costs and risks with the possible benefits.

Hi everyone,

I been a dumb fool. I took my citizenship test few weeks ago at Scarborough Town all went extremely well. I was told to expect my Oath invitation in 6-8 weeks. Two weeks ago i was told by my boss that i had to travel to Vancouver for a 4 weeks training session. I called CIC just to find out the status of my application. I was told my Oath day will be at the end of August and they are in the process of sending me the Oath invitation. Silly me i advised the agent of my job situation and requested if that can be reschedule. Today I had received  RQ in mail. I feel so helpless i feel like withdrawing my application feel like giving up my PR and just return back to my country. This is ridiculous what CIC had done to me. Is anyone in the same or similar situation as I am????I am sure there must be plenty of victims just like myself

Similar report:

RQ after getting Invitation letter to take Oath [Mississauga] I wrote the exam in the Mississauga office in March 2013. Was told after the exam that I have cleared the exam along with the score and gave me the invitation letter to take Oath on the very next week itself. I had a planned vacation the next week for couple of weeks (Out of Country) and told the officer that I would like to take the oath after I am back from the vacation. The officer initially suggested to take Oath and don't apply for passport and you can come back after the vacation and apply it. Then the officer discussed my case with another officer and said I might have a problem while returning back to Canada as I have to surrender the PR during the Oath. The officer later said he will make a note on my arrival date and will send a new invitation letter through mail after I have come back from the vacation and took back the given invitation letter. I came back very happy. The very next day Mississauga office has send me a letter requesting for an RQ.(Received couple of days before my vacation) Totally surprised.

Forget about rescheduling oath and, likely, test, if you value your time and sanity.
