November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[Kan_Sri]

Hello. Long time occasional lurker over the years here.

I applied in November (single applicant) and you can add me to the spreadsheet if you'd like--tracking all of the numbers is so helpful!

Application Sent: Nov 9, 2017
Received: Nov 14
AOR: Jan 8, 2018
IP: Jan 12
Received test notice: April 3
Took test: April 23 (and passed!)

I just checked online today and it has the "Decision Made" in there, but I don't know when that went in. The more detailed information hasn't been updated yet--it's still just the test details.

I live in Toronto and have so far been dealing with the Scarborough office. I'm hoping my oath ceremony doesn't get scheduled for when we're supposed to be away this summer!

Thanks for this forum--it's been helpful over the 11 years I've been in Canada and gone through study visas, work visas, PR, etc...

Thanks for the share, welcome to the forum. I have added you to SS for other applicant estimates.

I am not even a professional and I could have completed my application by now. I hate this whole stupid process.

Just hang in there, fellow November cohorter. It's an exasperating process, to be sure, as every day's wait's agonising. But just think what we've survived so far: the Conservatives' nastinesses & non-grandfathering-in under C-24; the Liberals' foot-dragging incompetence in the Senate for C-6; and we've survived however many Canadian winters to get our residency days up to the bureaucratically & politically arbitrary number of 1095 days. Not too much longer my friends and we'll be safe on base, haha.

I think so. My email invite states "Please print this email and bring it to your test appointment". I don't think they'll mail me an invite through the post.

I know I shouldn't be checking my emails like crazy but I'm still doing it in the last few days. Guess what? It paid off - received test invite to appear on May 16! This proves checking email expedites test invite

Congrats and Good luck! Looking at the dates, it seems the trend in ottawa is for tests on Wednesdays. May 9, May 16...
My ecas is not updated yet; i don't think it will show test/interview info

Thank you! It seems they send out the invite about 2 weeks prior to the test..

I know, just makes me feel better for a moment. I try to say encouraging things too! This was my 20th Canadian winter, but it is 27 degrees right now. We actually have a humidex today!

Hello folks,

I did write the citizenship test last April 24th in Edmonton and I passed it successfully, the interview went great too, The status of my online application did not change to decision made yet. However, there are others here who said that their online status changed to DM the same day they passed the test and the interview. Is there any problem?

Thank you
