No.. No idea! I first I thought it might mean an RQ is on the way, since I only saw one member on this forum had the same thing and got RQ'ed but turns out no.. It's probably a system glitch..

Hi ,

I am also a Calgary office September 2014 applicant .

Well your timelines are very normal for Calgary . Based on the recent test notice reports , Feb 2014 applicants are taking tests in April 2015 . So , as per the current speed , you should be looking at December 2015 for your test .

However , I have a strong feeling that we might see a decrease of around 2-3 months from the processing times due to prospective implementation of residency clause in summer . Besides , even without that Calgary office is gradually working to speed up the processing . I remember some of my friends who got citizenship last summer . They were processed in around 18-20 months . However , now people are getting it in like 16 months or so (Many Oct/Nov 2013 applicants took their oath in March 2015)

So , lets hope that the processing times will improve more by the end of 2015 or so .

Good luck
