June 2019 citizenship applicants

[vishalv]

Anybody from Hamilton or Burlington got the test invite?

Based on previous pattern, the Hamilton/Burlington area will be issuing invites by January.

Although, I noticed a June applicant based in Hamilton has received a test invite on Dec 19th.

Decision made Dec 20

IRCC will be in Victoria Jan 20 to 24 Today is Dec 21. No notice yet.. Victoria is a temporary office where they visit only 2 or 3 times a year.
Does anyone know if they do ALL applicants waiting for testing when its a temporary location or do they have a cut off on Capacity?
I see the May applicants have invites - but not June yet.

I’ve seen invites sent out with 2 weeks and even 10 days notice. So you may still hear from them in the early new year. Good luck!

The last Brampton applicant to report a test invite was a January applicant and no one from Brampton has reported a test invite since March. They received their InProcess in March and were notified on Dec 18 that their test is in January. While no one knows for certain, you may have much more time to wait for your invite. However, please also remember the standard for processing is one year. Yes, Many complete processing in less time. However, some have been waiting a test invite for two years. too. Just be patient and check your mail and spam on a regular basis.

My wife and I both got perfect scores on the exam in Scarborough. ECAS still shows "In Process". Seeing how quickly people have gone from Scarborough test dates to oath invite I have been a bit concerned that our application is lost somewhere. I called the contact centre and the agent told me nothing was wrong with my application, that they wouldn't contact the local office about it until after June 24, 2020, and I would just have to wait. My PR card expires in March and I was hoping to not have to renew it.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to speed up the process seeing as you are well within the 12-month processing time frame. Do you recall what timeframes for oath your interviewing officer gave you post-test? There are plenty of June applicants who have yet to receive their test invites, let alone DMs or oath invitations. You can always order GCMS notes to see what stage your application is in.
Re: your PR card, if you do plan on travelling outside Canada you would have to renew it. The turnaround time for processing is rather quick. On one hand, you can wait it out and hope you get called for the oath before March. But as to guessing when your application would change to DM/when you get an oath invite, anyone's guess is as good as yours. If cost is not an issue, and you don't mind spending $50 on the renewal of the card just so you can have the freedom of travel, you can do so in the new year.
Good luck!

I don't recall the interviewing officer giving an exact timeframe, but I left with the impression it would be days or weeks, not months.

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't realize ordering the GCMS notes was a thing I could do. I guess I'll wait it out until middle of January and then apply for a PR card renewal.
