Citizenship Processing Times
 

Has anybody had experience with citizenship application in Montreal or
Toronto and how long did the whole process take?

Regards,


Atul

Re: Citizenship Processing Times
 

All citizenship applications must be submitted to and are processed by CPC
Sydney in Nova Scotia, regardless where you live. But once case is forwarded
to the CIC office in charge of your area of residence the processing time
may differ depending from the ration between workload and number of
tests/oath ceremonies being scheduled there at particular time. If you
reside in Montreal then your case will be forwarded there after initial
processing in CPC Sydney. Or if you reside in Toronto it will be forwarded
to Toronto...

Trying to change residential address just for the purpose of "faster
process" may really be disappointing - you will be making your decision
based only on past performance of already concluded cases without knowing
what will be the workload in any of those cities at the time your case is
being forwarded from Sydney.

My advice - stop "shopping around" and don't make any major relocation
decisions based on past statistics. Just send your application as soon as
you are eligible and hope that it will go smoothly.

Andrew:

From your clients' past experiences, what's the fastest (or not uncommon) in
Toronto and Vancouver: 6 months? 1 year? 18 months? Thanks!

Re: Citizenship Processing Times
 

Lately (this year's oaths) about 6 to 8 months were the shortest timeframes
I know about.

Re: Citizenship Processing Times
 

Exactly. Nobody can predict future timelines or difference in test/oath
scheduling times between any particular cities. And nobody can tell you how
many more or less applications any particular office will have when your
case gets in. Thus, nobody knows future timelines.

Canadian citizenship process starting to sound a bit like "Kafkaesque" to
me.
On the other hand, United States Immigration Services are able to give you
processing times for each Service Center.

A friend of mine just submitted his citizenship application at the end of
March. He hasn't heard anything since, is that normal?

Thanks.

Re: Citizenship Processing Times
 

Yes, it is quite normal. It takes anywhere between 1 and 5 months for CPC
Sydney to mail anything to applicant.

Re: Citizenship Processing Times

Re: Citizenship Processing Times
 

It is not the guess you stupid idiot aikido. Andrew bases his comments
on his own experience and experience of others who share it with him.

Unlike yourself who pretends to know something.

Stop trolling this forum if you have nothing constructive to add. And
"check with cic to be sure" doesn't count as anything productive you
stupid kid.
