"RQ" is Residency Questionnaire

... but yes, usually a form given to applicants relative to proof of meeting the residency qualification. May be accomplanied by additional requests for information, documentation, or other evidence relevant to either proving presence in Canada, establishing or maintaining residence in Canada, or as to indications of residence in a country other than Canada. Often, but not always, followed by an interview with a Citizenship Judge who assesses the proof and determines whether the applicant qualifies for a grant of citizenship.

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.



BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration

ottawa321 and dio: 
the current waiting time for interview is 3-4 years in mississauga. this is what cic is telling me. they dont think there is anything wrong with this timeframe. because its not their problem. we should get together and collectively protest or something. i wrote to jason kenney and contacted the MP, but no use. J.Kenney's reply sounded irritated, saying we already told you (a year ago) that you have to wait your turn. an indefinite wait, with no timeframe, is unfair. but we need to band together to protest effectively.

I am 100% agree with you "missie". We should work together to protect again ridiculous RQ waiting time. We all should sent letter to MPs and also related minister.
 
Standup against RQ.

I am trying to locate a lawyer who will tell me that he/she can help me, before i visit him/her.
Dont wanna pay 300 bucks for a half hour visit, only for them to tell me that lawyers cant help in cases of delay.

not stand up against RQ, but against their policy of "indefinite timeline" for processing it.
they have every right to investigate, but within a reasonable timeframe.

i am not sure what exactly to do though.
on my own, i have tried via MP, and written to minister, jason kenney.
about a year ago, a bunch of us in mississauga even tried a petition (asking for more funding for mississauga cic office, to increase staff, which would reduce wait time), but nothing came out of it.

but currently, its election time. can someone think of a way to use the elections to our advantage?

if we attend election rallies, and raise the issue there with the candidates, would that help? (considering that MPs have generally proven to be quite helpless in citizenship matters)
but no harm trying, i guess.
i shall start looking out for the candidates visiting my area.
i live in north york, so if anyone hears of any canvassing in my area, pls do inform me.

I am planning to give an earfull if any Candidates stop at my door here in Ajax-Pickering area. I don't mind the RQ, but process the response received in a timely fashion, because it took 15 months for me just to reach the ending stage after test and then got the RQ. An indefinite wait after that is just not fair when in my opinion I have met all the rules required to be granted citizenship. But since I am a common man, need a CIC employee to review the darn documentation to say, yes you meet the requirement.

missie,

I have totally lost my trust enthusiasm after almost 2 years of waiting since I got the RQ. Unfortunately, I do not see any tool or method that could possibly speed up my application, therefore I decided to become passive and just wait. Basically, the final output and decision does not influence my life too much. 

Wish everyone good luck with application and RQ process.
