I got AOR same day as yours but not IP yet.

I am surprised I got IP so fast.. not to jinx it or anything hahaaa. but I was one of the ones who got AOR later than those who had submitted after me ... Maybe what happens is, they process AOR then send it off, then the ones that come in later end up at the top of the stack... and get treated before the ones that got AOR earlier.... Just guessing... it seems like a good explanation , as I work in government and I know that this is often the simple explanation.

And of course how soon the local offices get to the AOR-ed files that were sent to them, varies by office... not to mention by agent.

Added you to global spreadsheet.

You mean your AOR date is Dec 08. When was your application received in Sydney office, I guess Oct 30, if you mailed on Oct 26.

Is your application single or family? and your physical presence days for updating spreadsheet please?

Hi there, same here; Ottawa.

Cheers, and keep in touch.

Wish you good luck, My citizenship test on February 16th.
Can you share your experience on your test date?
Thanks

You are lucky. Ottawa office is very quiet recently regarding the test invites for the October applicants.

According to the spreadsheet they are issuing the IPs for November and December, but nothing for the October- nor IP, nor TI.

Ottawan here too...
Hmm...I had my test yesterday (morning) and OMG, there were at least 75 folks who took the test with me. So don't worry, it's coming slow but it's a oil tanker !!

Hi

I had my test yesterday Feb 14th at 10:15 am, later, the interview with an officer which literally took 3 mins. he asked me about my job ( Telecommunications engineer ) and looked at my driving licence, then told me I got 20/20 in the test and I shall hear soon from them about next step.

My status on Ecas still shows IP. Anyone from those who got their test on 14th had their status changed to DM yet?

The test itself was super easy. I would recommend reading the book "discover canada" two times at least, then practice on the following sites for Q&A

http://www.thecanadiantest.com/citizenship-test/
http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/
https://www.apnatoronto.com/canadian-citizenship-test-practice/
http://citizenshipcounts.ca/quiz
http://www.v-soul.com/onlinetest/canada_citizen_test/

There are other sites that they ask to pay money. Seriously, No need. the free websites are more than enough and cover everything.

The actual test is much much easier than the practice tests.
