Hopefully the process is as drawn out as PR as I enjoy using the term "Canadian" in a derogatorily way.

8 to 9 months from application till test, going off my time lime :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

or 25 months going off mine, and potentially much longer if you get the dreaded Residency Questionnaire.:(

Does anyone have any theories as to what would trigger that? I've seen people with basically identical situations apply yet one got the RQ and one didn't.

Periods of travel and numerous absences from Canada as opposed to the odd 4 week vacation once a year would be my guess.

No, a letter via snail mail

Confed:
July 1st 1867, the book says they met from 1864-1867 ?

That's what I would have though but both were similar in that respect: a pair of married Brits working for Canadian banks in Toronto travelling fairly often to the US for a week at a time but not for more than a total of around 6 weeks a year. They applied separately after 5 years of residence - one got the RQ, the other didn't. It looked pretty random to me, but I'm assuming there's multiple things being taken into consideration.

That's the one. When I get around to this, I seriously hope the date type questions aren't going to be a choice of 4 adjacent years though, I'll be stuffed if they are.

Re: Citizenship time line

What is in this Residency questionnaire and why would it slow the process so much?

Re: Citizenship time line

Am I reading this right? You wait three years to apply for citizenship then another three years to get it? That's crazy!

CIC is all about lengthy time lines.

They quote 25 months for citizenship. That is a cake walk compared to many people's PR processes.

Besides whose actually waiting???

I'm not sure why it would take so long to process one though.

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 4:31 pm.
