Updated in Nov applicants, but I received my test invite on Monday from Surrey IRCC with a test date of June 20 and also received my GCMS notes a few days early on Tuesday. Hoping to be doing oath by end of August?

To my knowledge, it doesn't negatively affect your application in any way (one of the first things I checked before ordering). The order process is easy, especially if you use that thread, it literally tells you how to answer certain fields and it's free. In my case, it would appear to have...

It was posted by someone a few pages back, it's just an online form you fill out and wait a month and you'll get a basic transcript of your file. If you search GCMS notes in this forum someone did a step by step thread on the process.

Thank you, also, my eCas updated this morning, though it does say the notice was sent on May 7, the attachment in my email is dated May 14 and I received the email at 11am yesterday. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I received my ATIP notes this morning, which would put it a few days...

After 94 days I just received my test invite a few minutes ago to appear at Surrey IRCC June 20 @ 8:30am. Glad to finally get to this step, now to start restudying the guide.

One way I like to think of it is perhaps our assigned officers prefer to do all their background checks before the test invite, so perhaps if we're lucky, once we do eventually get our test invites it could all be gravy and smooth sailing from there with faster times between test to DM and DM to...

I think trying not to go against the averages once you fall outside those times is best (for your mental health anyway) IE; I'm at 88 days since I went to IP and still no test invite. The average showing for my area right now is 59 and someone who went into process a few days after I did got...

I don't know if I agree with this either. I'm now beyond standard wait times for my region for IP to test invite and at the super frustrating point of watching people who went into process in my region AFTER me getting test and oath. My application is simple, well exceeded the required days...

I believe a basic recommendation is waiting 120 days without movement on your file.

There's a step by step tutorial somewhere in this thread as well if you search it as well, super helpful.

You went into process a day after me so maybe I'll get my invite this week *fingers crossed*. Good luck on your test and interview.

I submitted a request for my notes yesterday since it's been past the 60 days of inactivity on my file, might shed some light on to the differences between the Vancouver and Surrey offices processing. Now I guess it's a race to see what comes first, test invite or notes.

Yes, but I'm not talking about Winnipeg applicants, I'm talking about Surrey/Vancouver, so it's a totally separate timeline. Vancouver's average was about a month in between IP to invite and Surrey's was like a month and a half but it looks like it's officially slowed right down in Surrey. Today...

70+ days for IP to test invite? LAME! Considering I'm at 2 months today, I'm guessing Surrey has my application, hopefully, the rest of the process isn't that slow =\ And hopefully movement means I have an invite coming soon!

I have no plans to inquire anywhere, I'm not that impatient, I was just hoping to be on the same timeline as the other Van applicants for November and October, approximately 20-50 days between IP and test invite, depending on which office it's at. If I don't get the invite this week then that...

Starting to feel pretty overlooked there Vancouver/Surrey office, it's been a month and a half since IP and no test invite. Really hoping this week is the one.

I was really hoping to be on track with all the other Vancouver applicants in receiving my test invitation maybe last week of Feb or first week of March, but today still nothing. Adjusting that goal to end of March for an end of April test (fingers crossed).

Mine has a seal on it so I needed it mailed to me (she emailed me the PDF so I could verify all info was correct) and it only took a few days to arrive by mail since I chose the one that lived closest to me. It may not make a difference, and honestly, the office may not even ask for it, but I...

If you go to STIBC you can find someone that is closest to you, just use the search bar down the left side, I just used the Source (Spanish) and Target (English) as my criteria and it popped up a page of translators, then I chose one closest to me and emailed them. They were fast to reply, fast...

I think there's a couple of us, a few from October too, the spreadsheet will be your best bet for more accurate answers. I'm really hoping to receive the invite next week if the tracking pattern is accurate (checking ECas twice a day, morning and night as well as post box daily), and hopefully...
