Hi ISK,
I applied at June 2011 as well.
But my file was transferred to Winnipeg local office at August 2011.
I called CIC office last week, i had a talk with a lady.
She was really nice and she said she would send an email to trigger Winnipeg local office.
If i still don't get anything until August, then call again..... :eek:
I know it does not help that much, at least i know my file will not be forgotten.

Hi ISK

Just wanted to give you a small update.
I am also an applicant who send his application in early June 2011. Due to an issue I had I had to talk to the office in Winnipeg and after waiting for a while I received a phone call from them about 2 weeks ago.
On the phone the nice lady from the local office informed me that they are now processing people who applied in February 2011 and hopefully they will speed up the process soon as they are working on hiring new people as well as they are changing some of the way they are doing things - she couldn't give me to more information about that.
In total she said that June 2011 applicants shouldn't wait longer then 3-4 months for a test date but it may be very well sooner then that.

Hope this gives you a bit more clarification about the the stage of the process we are in :)

All the best :)

Hi,

I`m leaving for Australia for sometime in January 2014. I sent my citizenship app in Sept 2011 and the file was transferred to Wpg in Dec 2012. Is there any chance that I can write the test some time in Dec 2013 or Jan 2014 before leaving? I appreciate reply by people with similar time frame.

My partner applied October 2011; ECAS says they started processing December 2012; no word on anything else since. Its impossible to say when the test will be at this point.

Winnipeg office is rumoured to be among the slowest. :mad:
