Vancouver applicants - (C-6 10/11)

[nnkk20]

Hi everyone.

I applied in April and I received an email from cic which says "Congratulations you have reached the next step of the citizenship process". It has the info of what to bring and the appointmate date but it is so confusing that it didnt say what type of appointment it is. I opend the pdf file that was attached to it but So i am not sure if this is a written test ot anything like that.

Anyone received an email like this before?

I would bet it's the test invite. If you're unsure try calling IRCC and ask them to confirm for you.

Are you a Vancouver applicant? Could you share your timeline? (AOR, IP dates)

So I talked to a friend of mine yesterday and he said his wife received her test invite 2 weeks ago (she applied in May). I also see that 2 July applicants have already received test invites. Looks like there is some movement in Vancouver, hopefully we hear something soon!

Did my test today and they said 2-3 months. So guess didn't get in on that lucky 1-2 weeks opening. Oh well. Happy test is over so can just relax now.

Don't lose hope I'm pretty sure that's what they tell everyone but from what I've seen you typically get the oath letter within a month. Of course there are exceptions but best of luck!

Still waiting for test invite over here!

Finally I got my test invitation letter 3 days ago. It is for Jan 15th 2019.

Application Received: June 15th
In process: September 21st

I wonder how long after the test it will take to get to the oath ceremony. From what I've heard and seen most cases are arranged to be complete in about 12 months, that would mean another 5 months or so of wait for me after the test date!! It is disappointing how slow they are.

At the time of the interview...if BG checks and other checks are completed then most probably you would get in 2-3 months after the interview.

what the hell is going on with Vancouver!!! I left on holidays about a month ago and hadn't checked the spreadsheet/updates. I checked today and everything is pretty much the same. Still in process since sept 12. Sucks!!

I believe your office would be Surrey. I am not sure if there is another office further east but I doubt it would be Vancouver.

Does this mean all applications from Vancouver are being processed physically in Vancouver?

I believe this is correct with the secondary office being Surrey in case Vancouver can't take it.
