The test wasn't very difficult, I got 20/20. Can't share the questions as it's proprietary and there are agents in Ottawa checking the forums to see what info is being shared that shouldn't be... But do practice exams, once you get 100% on a few of them - you're ready!

I had my test yesterday, and passed. Invited to take the oath on Friday (Nov 28th).

Just got my test invite by mail for Nov 24th (Mississauga office). No update on eCas yet.

Just called CIC and was surprised to hear that my file has still not reached the local office. They confirmed that Sydney has sent the application and it is "in transit" but that it has not arrived at the local office yet. The agent wouldn't confirm when it was sent, but last time I called...

Congrats! That's really exciting. Hoping to see more of those invites in the coming weeks.

You have to call in and ask them.

I was told by CIC that my file has been sent to the local office today

I doubt you'll get RQ'ed for that; RQ typically happens if a red flat is present in your application, not events that happen after submitting it. I would suggest, however, that you call and let them know the dates you are away so they include a note in your file to not schedule your test during...

Hi Fellow May Applicants! My received line disappeared today; I'm hoping that means my application is en route to the local office! Good luck to all :)

Thanks. If only all files moved at that (light)speed :) Hope your oath date is just around the corner.

CONGRATS!

Any idea how long after the transfer to the local office you got the invite?

So they sent you a test invite a month and a half in advance? CIC told me all test invites get mailed 2 weeks before the test. That's awesome to know otherwise!

They did share with me something rather interesting - the CIC agent suggested that if I have a trip booked I can notify them up to 2 months in advance and they'll add that as a note in my file so my test doesn't get scheduled for that date. For anyone who was wondering if taking off for a couple...

Good Morning fellow May Applicants, I called CIC this morning and was informed my application is still in Sydney and has not gone through the backgorund check... It was received May 20th 2014 and started processing July 23rd 2014... Is this normal that it takes the background check to begin...

Congrats! Crossing my fingers that it works out for you and you get to go on your vacation :)

Only I'm applying for citizenship; he's a perm resident.

Hi May Applicants, Quick question - on Nov 1, my partner and I will be living together for one year, thereby becoming common-law. Do I have to update CIC with this information? If so, what's the best way to do it (call centre, sending them a letter, emailing them?)

Local office was reported as Mississauga, although as I mentioned it hasn't reached there yet. Once it's received there - how quickly is the turnaround typically to a test date and the oath, assuming regular processing? I want my application to go as smoothly as possible, so wouldn't want to get...

Hi There, Just looking to update the forum on my status: Application received May 20th, 2014 Started processing on July 23rd, 2014 I received my Discover Canada booklet in mid to late August. Called CIC and was advised my application has not been received by the local office yet (it's still...
