Everything depends on how fast do you complete the test. If you are among the first to complete the test you won't wait much for the interview officer. But if you are among last, you would need to wait for everyone else interview to finish. See also my Ottawa test/interview experience at https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/all-ottawa-october-applicants.543349/page-16#post-6816272
I think that's only true for the first 2 or 3 people. I finished my test pretty fast but there was a few people even faster than me. I think I was like the 6th or 7th finisher, and I had to wait like an hour for my interview. The gold and silver medalist got interviewed right away, and the rest seemed random to me. So you gotta finish it in a couple of minutes to beat almost everyone...

What you have is enough. If you have stamps that need to be translated, you can bring the translation too.

Hello, I have been away from the forum for a bit. I applied originally in Toronto but I moved for work to Ottawa. I got the test invitation for Toronto in August but I had to reschedule because I wasn't able to go there in the middle of the week. Now I checked my status online and shows "We sent you a notice on September 4, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on September 25, 2018..."
I haven't received the mail letter or email so far. Please someone know how long does it usually take to arrive?... Thank you.

Updated the tracker. Congrats!!

Have you checked your email, including Junk folder just in case you do not miss on any email communication. If they sent test invite by mail then it should be received by now. Is there someone to check mails in Toronto, or you changed your address to Ottawa after you moved. You can always call IRCC to find out more details.

Hi, thank you for updating my info... Please note that I changed to Ottawa, it says Scarborough in the tracker.

Yes I've been checking my email constantly and the spam folder. I received the invitation from Toronto by email with no problem. I think I read that from Ottawa are sent by regular mail. I will have to call, I've never done it because is difficult for me to find hours available to wait on the phone.

I changed my address to Ottawa in the system and also notified them about the move when I requested to reschedule the test. I can see my new address in the system. I also arranged mail forwarding but I don't know if this can of mail has "Not forward" label.

Will it be again a written test or oral test? In both cases, I recommend you to see websites that deal with citizenship sample exams as they are very useful.
I guess you have a hard time to read the whole citizenship book.
