The neverending story with cic

Applied for citizenship Oct 2010.
AOR April 2011.
Moved to a new address in July 2011. CIC updated by phone, mail and ecas. Address updated in july 2011.
Sep 3, 2011 - file transferred to Ottawa (old address!!!)
Sep 15, 2011 - Called cic to inquire why... they said it could be a mistake so message sent to ottawa to move my file to Thunder Bay.
Sep 23, 2011 - Mail from Ottawa office to write my exam in Ottawa!!!! on Oct 6...
Oct 6, exam done.
Oct 19 - File transferred to HULL/GATINEAU!!!!!

I don't know what they're doing with my file!! It's getting ridiculous. Am I dealing with amateurs??

aussipete: maybe if you actually read what jojo wrote you understand why he/she is upset about. I think the problem is with the transfer of the file not the timeline itself   

OMG,
cic website states that my file has been transferred to Thunder Bay.... My exam was done in Ottawa though. Now is Ottawa going to send my results to TBay and have the ceremony there?
Searching ceremony dates in TBay has led to NOTHING...
What's next? I guess they'll transfer it to zimbabwe

I do not have much to offer in practical terms, except, perhaps, now it is time to be patient and adapt to how it goes.

When things go off the rails, well, yeah, they are off the rails.

Not sure what you could have done differently. If you move you move. Not likely you moved to NWO frivolously. (One might say I did, but most know that, yeah, there was a woman to blame. But generally people do not end up in this lakehead refuge among the trees unless circumstances in life compell them.)

When you got the notice for the test you could have just arranged to show up then and do the test, in Ottawa (which is what you ended up doing anyway). But not everyone can do something like that, just drop everything and travel over a thousand km to attend the test and interview. Some of us could. That's what I would have done. But I realize that that is asking too much from many, from most even. And I would have sat tight with that, since I know Ottawa is likely to have many oath ceremonies throughout the year, whereas Thunder Bay . . . another participant here talks about a second ceremony in the fall, but for years now I have only noticed the news reports about the one that takes place early in the year, sometimes around Canada Day, lately a month or so earlier than that (I thought the one this year was even earlier but my recall is less than reliable these days).

But, again, yeah, that is a long trip to take. As I said, if in a similar position I would. Any excuse to travel. A good excuse to stay, as I suggested, up the highway a ways and schedule in an evening's entertainment at the Black Sheep Inn. But I dictate my schedule (well, I do have deadlines which do tend to kill me, but that's part of the deal I've made with the devil).

Now it is what it is, where it is, and you are in an unfortunate ethereal realm, an unknown place in many respects, few if any landmarks by which to discern your bearings. Not much to do, really, but be patient and see what unfolds.

call cannot be transferred. Please note our least busiest days are thursdays and fridays... How can you be so busy on the least busiest day and the least busiest hour of the day??
mmmmm...
