Mississauga Thread

I still don't understand. My letter does not look anything like the standard letter. I am part of Kolbe but here is the letter dated Dec 2, 2009:

Subject: APPLICATION (S) FOR CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP

This is to acknowledge receipt of 1 adult application for Canadian citizenship.

The application and documents will now be reviewed and we will contact you if additional information is required.

It wil take approximately 12-15 months from the date of the of this letter to complete your application(s). This is the routine processing time. Some applications may take longer.

I know this is Kolbe but I just don't understand. I know it does not take that long to "receive" the application. I took the test on Mar 3, 2009 and even if I allow 3 months of wasted time for it sitting in Mississauga Sydney should have received it in June so I just can't figure out where this is coming from. They got it before December! And this letter is giving 12-15 months from Dec 09. This crazy system makes no sense!

Hi,galen,i would like to share my experence with you. About wrriten test,it's very simple,20 multiple-choice questions,u can refer to <A look at Canada>.i think that no one cannot pass the exam,so don't worry about that. As for the interview,u have to make preparations in advance, some questions like:

Do you have any criminal record in immigration service or the police station?

What did you do since you arrived?

R u student? which university?(u should show ur student card)?What subjects are you studying?...

R u working now? Pls leave ur office's address and ur telephone number at work...

Have u been away from Canada?How many times?What reason?(The officer spread all the papers out on it and checked sheet after sheet...)

It took about 30minutes...

Yes Mississauga is such a lazy bunch. Called the call center today and was assured 100% my file is in processing but e-cas still shows only received. When asked when it will be updated as usual the person has no clue whatsoever

sendi-mississauga ,

Sure I will! I understand you.

I took a test on 11 Dec 2009 , haven't heard anything yet !Does anyone took test about same time ?

Speed up!

How come you got RQ? You know the reason or just random act by CIC?

	Mississauga seems to be the slowest at this point.
