August 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

Do they invite you for the online test or interview ?

Online Test, yes. Generally speaking, there is no "interview". You take the test and then you get the oath invite. Some people get additional documents request before the test. What the OP referenced as "Test Interview date" is the date he actually took the test AFAIK.

Congratulations.

Did anyone get a call for oath ceremony before the email? I got a call this morning with CIC call center number but sounded like a phishing attempt like CRA (Asked us to have our passports and other important documents handy). I declined to provide information and asked them to send me an email and planning to call them back today or later tomorrow.

On the website it says they might call you. We just had email.

Thank you @ALEX-UK. I will double check and update my status. I hope its not another new scam

I think you did the right thing. Always be vigilant for such scams, they have your email on file so they can send you a confirmation and you can always call back.

 

[vicky159]

Couple of things with the status

1. CIC never called us. It's number spoofing and the call we received was a phishing call. Glad we didn't provide any information.
2. My wife and I gave our test in March 2020. The call center cannot see the exam status and no updates were made to the file. They added some back notes to further research on this. Not sure how long this is going to take.

I will keep the thread updated as I hear anything.
