Congratulations jcp488!!!
It appears that your eCAS was updated first or did you also received by snail mail their(CIC) invitation today?
Keep us posted on your Oath taking, just curious how many will take the new Canadian citizenship.
Cheers.
 
Congratulations indeed, jsp488! After a long wait, one more Canadian in town!
( one a side now-wow, notice less than 10 days in advance!)
 
There are now TEN Oath taking ceremonies this March 2014 in our town!
If you are one of those invited, appreciate if you could post your timeline.
Thanks!
 
Now not so good news. Canada place was flooded last night:

The flooding started on the 4th floor, while the CIC office is likely at the 2nd floor (suite 2XX, do not recall exact #), so I hope none of the physicial files have been affected.
It is not clear yet if the building will re-open tomorrow.

Congrats ! Everyone who got their Oath invitation. I still didn't get my invite although me and my wife wrote and passed the test 4 Nov 2013. We were told that everything is allright and will get our Oath in 3-4 months. God knows where they put our file. Its more than 5 years in Canada and our PR card are expired in Jan this year and we were hoping to become citizen. But God knows where our file stuck.

eCAS was updated.. snail mail received afterwards..
 
I contacted the CIC Call Centre today to get an update on my file.

This is the timeline:

RECEIVED AT CIC SYDNEY: June 10, 2013
IN PROCESS: August 30, 2013
TRANSFERRED TO EDMONTON: February 07, 2014

TEST: Expected November 2014
 
thank you for the update, gte439u!
The office seems to be speeding up somewhat, if the test is expected within 18 months from the application date. At least, it is not the full 24 months anymore :). If their estimate is true, that is.
