Citizenship file from Victoria Test in Vancouver

[VTG]

I have been called for my citizenship test to Vancouver on Feb 18, does anyone know what the timeline after this ?
My PR card expires in August do i need to reapply for a new one ??

I had applied for citizenship in January of 2015 from Edmonton Alberta.

Overall the processing by the CIC offices in west coast is quite fast. Judging by the pace of processing by Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary offices, max it could be 2 months or earlier for your Oath Invitation provided you dont have excessive overseas travel or land crossings.

Be positive, wish you all the best.

I am from Victoria, i got a call mid January asking if i would travel to Vancouver for my test since they do not know when they will be in Victoria to take the test. Hopefully all goes well

So by the sounds of it, there won't be any session in Victoria in February? Does that mean everybody in Victoria will have to go to Vancouver for tests/oaths I wonder.

When we did the test last October the officer clearly mention that the Oath it's going to be in Febraury or March 2016 !! Hopefully we will not go to Vancouver after all that waiting .

So he also said March! I see. I personally wouldn't mind to go to Vancouver if that mean me being done with this years long waiting and me holding a citizenship certificate.
Well, it all means the same - more waiting. I'm just so mad they don't at least tell you WHAT the decision is!

thanks for the update

I had my test on Feb 18 in Vancouver and was given a letter which basically congratulated me and told me I will be getting an email confirming which date my oath is March 14 week in Victoria. The officer said I should get the email sometime next week and keep an eye on my ecas.

I can confirm I'm on the same boat. Which means we were probably in the same room and actually saw each other. Too bad, we could have had a coffee together So to answer other people asking, yes, I believe pretty much every Victoria applicant without anything particularly "interesting" about their application probably got contacted with the same thing. I overheard people talking about this on the ferry as well. It's perfectly understandable since they don't have an office in Victoria and doing this simplifies things for the applicant AND for the CIC.

But anyway, if we both get invited to the oath in Victoria around that time, this will serve as a great reference to other people in the same situation in the near future. I believe it'll likely happen to other island applicants who have applied before June 11th.

So see you here in town in 3 weeks, I guess?

Usually just the AOR is via email but in my case since I had to go to Vancouver for my test and the oath ceremony was in a less than a month in Victoria I was told I would get an email. All applicants from Victoria were told to write their email addresses on the letter for citizenship exam.
