I do not know how often this has been done in Montreal. In general this is not the usual timeline, but it is fairly common. (Or, as in my case, the oath was scheduled to take place two days after the test/interview event, likewise subject to the outcome of the test, interview, and the decision-maker's determination.) For you the decision-maker is a Citizenship Officer. Prior to August 1st the decision-maker was a Citizenship Judge. The change, pursuant to which a Citizenship Officer can approve the grant of citizenship, no CJ necessary, may result in more of these one-day test-interview-decision-oath events taking place. Additionally, CIC is obviously in a major hurry-up mode so that its processing numbers for the year, looking forward to next year's election, look as good as possible. Good luck with the test and interview! |

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 |

Thanks for the replies!
OK, so here's a timeline, hopefully it will be useful as a data point for the thread, plus if going forward this process will be more common, it's an example of what to expect. We're just my wife and I, no kids/dependents. We landed as Quebec-selected skilled workers in September 2010. Citizenship applications mailed: 11 Feb 2014 CIC received applications: 17 Feb 2014 CIC Started processing application: 25 Mar 2014 Received acknowledgement and test prep materials: 4 Apr 2014 Notice to appear for the test, review and oath: 14 Oct 2014 Test, document review, ceremony, oath, reception of certificates: 31 Oct 2014 The entire process took a bit over 8 and a half months. This may be of interest, they mentioned a few times that we should wait about 2 working days before applying for a passport, as it's the time they take to update all government agencies on newly-created citizens. As of today (1 working day after the ceremony), CIC's system still reflects the application as "In process". Cheers! - Daniel |

Hi all, question: why did you stop publishing such a convenient grids?
Let's fill it again? ;) Just copy this grid and paste it to Excel or OpenOffice (SCALC), edit your data there, then copy-paste entire grid back here

And another question:
In how many months you can see your case status online? My sister sent her file on 4th of July 2014. On September she got email confirmation. But Online status still doesn't show anything by her Client ID or PR Card number :(

Hey, people!
What happened to everyone from Montreal? Nobody is waiting for citizenship from Montreal any more? :)

Hi! I am indeed waiting for citizenship from Montreal office!!!
My timeline so far has been: Landed: May 2010 Application sent: May 2014 Letter of acknowlegment and study materials: July 2014 Date of CIC starting processing my application: July 28th, 2014 Letter for taking the test: December 2014 Date of test: January 13th, 2015 No references about date of oath in letter. My BIG question is: What can I expect about the time between test and oath? The thing is, I wasn´t expecting to take the test so soon!! I thought it would take at least a year to hear from them since the application was sent. Based on this assumption I left Montreal just a couple months ago to come to my home country to spend 6 months with my family. Now I have a job here! Currently I don´t know whether to go to Montreal, take the test, and come back, and then go again for the oat, or if I should stay in Montreal waiting for the oath. I am trying to figure out if we are talking about two weeks, two months, or six months in between... Taugh desicion, as it involves tickets cost, changing jobs, renting a place, etc, etc, etc Any thoughts or recent experiences from applications presented and being procesing in 2014? Thanks!! ns |
