Citizenship Timelines Update
We have just recieved our ID # and receipt from CIC regarding citizenship.
It took exactly 6 months for your info and states the process could be up to a further 12 months or so.

Or am I reading it wrong?

Re: Citizenship Timelines Update
When I applied back in October 2007 it took about 9 months in total. The acknowledgement letter I received in February 2008 said it would take 15 months but in the end it was a good bit quicker.

Re: Citizenship Timelines Update
The way I am thinking is it takes 3 years before you can apply in canada then at the 4 year mark the wife can apply for British citizenship based upon living outside the country with a Brit for 4 years (thats what i read somewhere anyway).
That way if we have kids and one of us dies they get the choice of where they want to live and we get to follow.

Well for me 12 months or under would be convenient (i will apply in december).

just to keep this thread updated for potential citizenship applicants...
citizenship application sent : Nov 18 , 2008
letter of acknowledgement received: today, April 20th , 2009
(but the letter was dated March 25... so I don't know if the mailman had it stashed for 4 weeks)
