I have a question.... do they still send out actual mails for the Citizenship Exam/Interview or do you just need to print the email attachment?
Thank you.

Hi Guys,

I submitted my application in November, 2017 from Toronto. Processing started in January 12, 2018. I recently contacted CIC and they mentioned that the application was marked complete and was passed on to the Scarborough and I should wait for a test invite for them.

Has anyone tried to contact the Scarborough and ask them for an update?

The exact same thing has happened to me too. I passed the test on Aug 16. 20/20. The status is still "In process". I know few other Ottawa applicants who are also going through the same phase.
The last line on my ecas status is still "We started processing your application on March 19, 2018"

when did you get your test invitation? Did you get your DM status (if so, when?)

It really doesn’t matter. The correspondence/email received is more important than the actual e-cas status. In fact, if you see test invite updated on e-cas, but you had not reveived the email or mail, that would be a problem, because you cannot (if I’m not mistaken) show up at the venue to take test without the invitation document.

Thank you.

If you`re receiving email notifications - then you`ll NOT receive snail-mails from them. Just take a printout of the emailed letter for your test/interview/oath.
