Hi Guys,
Good news: I just contacted CIC, and found out that my test has been rescheduled to February 6, 2015. I am yet to receive the letter which was apparently sent on January 16th. Yay, missing your first test doesn't completely ruin your chances.
Two observations/tips:
1. They appreciated the fact that I sent a letter to my local office (Scarborough) telling them why I had to miss my first test in December. He said the letter was on my record. In that letter, I also kindly requested a date after January 15th when my exchange program abroad would be done.
2. Calling CIC earlier this year (January 13 or so) to follow-up on whether they had any news/whether they got my letter MAY have encouraged some movement on my file. I.e. letter for new test was sent 3 days later.
Good luck to all awaiting tests/oath dates.
