You are right. Sometimes trying to transfer the file might end up delaying the process even further. So we cant really say if thats a good option.

Hi Guys
Lately I realize that applicants from Scarborough CPC are getting frustrated. Logically delays in oath invite may be due to genuine reasons
1) Higher number of applicants in Scarborough . Tracking the spreadsheet we observe that only very few oath invitation to forum members . So who are taking oaths with average ceremonies around 12 or more per month.
2) There appears few discrepancies like one or two members overdue and couple of them out of turn. If we average it out, it is approximately 4 to 8 weeks spread out maximum
3) since no one knows the internal working, making wild guess create more frustration
4) In my opinion higher number of applicants is the real cause of delays and lack of resources available to clear the built up backlog
Therefore let us be patient

Hello Folks,
Today me and my children took an oath and became Canadian
We went to the Scarborough CIC office. There were 88 new canadians from 24 countries and about 40 visitors. They are strict to only one guest per applicants.
The room were good enough to accommodate upto 150 people, not sure why didn’t they call more
Anyway I wish all of you the best wishes and speedy processing. I will apply for my passport on Saturday.

As a parent myself and I know it is not easy to give your child to just anybody to sit. I will agree with the kind suggestion above to reschedule one parent and have one of you take the test for now while the other sit the child.
Even with that, if possible, both of you can go to the building on the first test date, one parent wait outside and one go in and discuss your situation with the officer. You never can tell, if they have 2 test sessions that day, the second parent may be able to go in for that one. I know they give special considerations to parents of young kids.
Yes, I have taken my 9 month old to a job interview before and I got the job (mind you, the job was with a provincial government department). I use to take my son to work occasionally too when I had no other option. This is Canada and people are sympathetic when it comes to children. It is not everyone in Canada that have families or friends here they trust enough to sit their child. And I will not give my baby to a random neighbour for any reason whatsoever. Citizenship is important but there are things way more important.
In the citizenship test invitation letter they have mentioned to bring some documents including one line that says:
All your original documents that support your citizenship application (as listed in the document checklist in the citizenship application form);
what does this actually includes? Please share your experiences specially in the Scarborough office.
All your original documents that support your citizenship application (as listed in the document checklist in the citizenship application form);

I understand, and have kids of my own..but, remember - we are talking here about a citizenship test - so its not only about you, one needs to consider the impact on others. A 1 year old is unpredictable, can cry, shout , walk around and will disturb others...therefore i said it doesn't make sense.
As for taking kids to the job, it largely depends on what you do...in my case it wouldn't make sense hence my comment.
Honestly, I was not sure when I went so I took my entire immigration box with me. She only asked to see an ID and my passport. I asked her if she needed any more document she said no. As interviewers may have different approaches, I will say take all the originals of documents sent in your application. The ones on the citizenship application checklist.
My interview ended in 5-7 minutes.

In my case i had a folder with me that includes all original and all other documents that support the application and prove residency in Canada (basically i prepared for the interview as if it was an "RQ").
However in my interview, the officer didn't ask to see any of my documents...he only asked for original passports, asked me where i worked and for how many years and that was it. Same with my wife.
Interview was very brief about 5-8 mins, no questions asked apart from what i mentioned above.
That is what I wanted to make aware that situations are different and warrant different measures. I did not advise anyone to take a child for the test especially when they have been advised not to on the letter. I just do not like trivialising a frustrating issue for another person.
If you submitted copies of English test, you have to bring the original, if you have marriage cert or name change document, you have to bring the original...
Pretty much everything that on the check list was asking for copy, bring that original document.
They may not ask for anything, but they might ask for all of it.
Our interviewer/officer asked for my marriage cert as she have never seen one from province it was issued in.
