Looks like the Calgary office is SLOWER than molasses compared to most other offices! Thanks for posting this... after reading everyone else's timelines, I was becoming a little frustrated about how "long" the process was taking for me - I was astounded (and bummed!) to see there are folks in the east who submitted AFTER me and have already have taken their oath!!!! FINALLY sitting for the test on Tuesday!


My Timeline: Calgary Office ... tick, tick, tock.

Anyone sat the test recently in CALGARY and have a timeline on the oath ceremony? I am headed of the France in September for two weeks and I am of course expecting this to coincide with either the ceremony or a made rush to get a Canadian passport to re-enter! Haha.

Thanks!

Yup - it was absolute radio silence for me too from February until June. So crazy considering how (seemingly) quickly all the other offices work through the files.

Hang in there!

Congrats on passing! Almost there !!!
As I am quickly learning (didn't even know this forum existed until yesterday) ... Patience is needed with Calgary. Ugh.
So close.....

Hopefully your status updates soon and the oath invite quickly follows!
