Well, since I'm almost at the finish mark I would like to share my timeline.

At least because I was following everyone's in this forum.

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 14, 2014.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on April 21, 2015.
We started processing your application on January 14, 2015.
We sent you a notice on September 8, 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test on September 28, 2015 at 7:45 AM.
Oath invitation: Nov 5, 2015.

Important to notice : 1. I moved my file from Edmonton to Toronto in July, 2015 (because Edmonton seemed unpredictably slow).
2. They did NOT update my ECAS about the oath invitation. It came by mail.
3. In April 2015 I had a line disappear from ECAS (It said something like "file transferred from Sydney to Edmonton" or something).

So yeah ... thats all I had to deal with. Good luck everyone.
 
Congratulations on your oath invite. The rest of us will keep waiting for ours.

Great news, Congratulations! City hall parking will the be the best for the art gallery ceremonies. Takes between 2-3 hours from checking in to going out the door.

Congrats Asagalen. We participated in our ceremony yesterday and parked in the city hall parkade and figured a 3 hour window will be sufficient (It was). Even though the time noted on the invitation was for 1:30, it wasn't until 2:30 that the ceremony actually started.
