I have applied for citizenship in Sepetmber 2003, and haven't received acknowlgment yet. When I called to CIC customer service; they told me now waiting time is 15-20 months. Almost 6 month to wait they open your envolpe..and once you receive acknowledgment it will take 10-12 months.
I do not believe that to be true since my friends applied for citizenship in October 2003 and I applied in Dec 2003 and both of us got Citizenship before 12 months in all.
There must be something wrong in your case - Been 17 months and still you have not received acknowledgement!

Yes, it is very strange. Sometime I wonder, how the system works here?
My time lines are:
Applied: End Feb 2004
Finger prints given: June 2004
Test Date: Dec 2004
Oath letter received for March 2005
hi guys...
i also do wonder how the system works here...i called the citizenship centre yesterday and i was told that my file has not even been assigned to any officer..
i had applied in July 2004 for both my wife and myself and still no progress...they told me that the waiting period has now incresed to 12 to 15 months..which is not what is written on the website..
i wonder if it has to do if u have left canada in between and not completed the 3 years at a stretch...

Is there something like fast track process for Citizenship. Similar to desi tatkal schemes. It is available for Mississauga and Brampton residents. You pay a little more get your file processed fast. I have heard a lot about it. Is it really possible?

Here is my timeline of my citizenship process!!!
We received your application for grant of Canadian citizenship (adult) on March 30, 2004.
We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application, and a study book called A Look at Canada on March 30, 2004.
We started processing your application on June 08, 2004.
Your file was transferred on November 18, 2004 to the Woodbridge office for the citizenship testing and taking of the citizenship oath. The Woodbridge office will contact you to write the Citizenship test.
Got letter on 3rd Dec that my citizenship test is on 17th december.
Got letter on Feb 2nd that my oath is on feb 16th.
I did my oath on feb 16th and applied for Canadian passport and got it today.
I'm a Canadian citizen.
Hope this will be very helpful.
