Well, processing times are consistently improving in Edmonton, so you should factor that in too, I guess.
 
Well lets wait and see. It took about 19 month to sponsor my wife, how bad can this be?
 
My timeline so far:

Application received - Oct 23 2014
AOR - Jan 23 2015
LOT - ???

Anyone have an idea when I can expect LOT? What are the chances I get test and oath in 2015?
 
I submitted my application in July 28, 2014 and it's in process in Sep 30, 2014. The application was transferred to Edm office in Oct 26, 2014.
Really hard time to just wait and only wait .....

Anyone knows which month's case CIC Edm is sending test invitation?

My cousin had his test in January, he applied in Sept 2013
 
My timeline thus far is below, if anyone is interested.

Thanks. It seems still very slow in Edm office. I knew a lot of applicants in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal which applied in summer of 2014 have gotten test invitation. Really hard to understand why in Alberta the process is so slow (almost one or one and half year later?) it's so unfair considering we paid the same fees. :(

It is indeed frustrating; a number of people in our June 2014 thread have already had their oaths and are now citizens.

It would probably be faster to move to Ontario for a few months, complete the process there, and move back. ::)

Simple. The next Federal elections will be decided in places like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, and the immigrant vote (which the Cons have been able to rely on lately) is going to be important.

Alberta? Solid blue except for one NDP riding in the University of Alberta area. That's not likely to change. So from a return on investment/vote-buying perspective, why the hell would they allocate any resources to Alberta?

Reasonable Guess :)
 
Which month/year Edmonton applicants are receiving test notification?
