Guys - If I may request to keep this forum informative and not a place to rant against system.

We are all in the same boat. If we are complaining about system not being fair, why are we even applying for citizenship. If we do not believe in the system, we do not believe in the country. Is the system fair anywhere in this world? System is only fair in the "heaven". Try getting immigration in USA and tell me how fair the system is there with wait for GC is truly eternity. We tend NOT value things, when we see it coming easily.

It is very sad to see comments like these that put things down just because we are NOT capable of having patience. It seems everyone wants their citizenship in 10 days.

Please live your life and citizenship will come. Having lived in multiple countries, I can share from my experience, this is the best country and my excitement for the citizenship is not defined by how many months they take to process my application.

We believe in this country and we are excited about the upcoming citizenship ! Somebody getting citizenship before me or after me, does not make anybody good or bad. If it bothers you, it is called "entitlement".

Having said that, those who want to now rant against me are most welcome. I am not going to read the response anyway. ;)
Just because this system is better than other country which is much worse, doesn't mean that this cannot be improved. And I think that as a part of this democratic country, everyone has right to voice their opinion..which is not same as ranting...that's called freedom of speech...not sure if you are from a place which doesn't have this right....Also this forum is for people to voice their opinion and to help each other out who are waiting for their applications without knowing what's happening...so don't take my opinion otherwise..you can check my other posts where I've been positive and telling fellow members to be positive and patient about application...also as someone posted here..to improve the system, you have to be part of the system...cheers... :)

FYI, I tried America. Got my oath in 6 months and I was able to apply 6 months in advance before I was eligible. Their service and system are far superior in my personal opinion.

I refuse to let someone's laziness or in competitiveness affect my future.

How can you be eligible before you're eligible? Please explain, will be useful for others I know in the states.

Hello, I have been away from the forum for a bit. I applied originally in Toronto but I moved for work to Ottawa. I got the test invitation for Toronto in August but I had to reschedule because I wasn't able to go there in the middle of the week. Now I checked my status online and shows "We sent you a notice on September 4, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on September 25, 2018..."
I haven't received the mail letter or email so far. Please someone know how long does it usually take to arrive?... Thank you.
Call them.
May I ask if on your ecas it still shows the first test invite “we sent you a notice on August XX, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test...” before the second test invite line?
After you rescheduled, did they respond? How long did it take them to reply to your reschedule request?
Thank you.

Hi, yes, it still shows "we sent you a notice on August 2 to appear on August 29". I never got a response to my request. I just saw the new date in the system. I'm assuming is to Ottawa as I haven't got the actual letter yet.
