We had a period of 8 months when my wife was absent from Canada. She was accompanying me (Canadian citizen) and stayed with me while I was on a 8 month work assignment outside Canada.

Do you know which part of your file they will be reviewing? I was also told the same thing, wait for 2-4 month as they will verify my entry dates in Canada (I had vacation 2x before I submitted my application). I noticed from some people here in the forum, if you do not have any issues at all with your application, the officer would give you the oath date.
 
Hi Candoes,

I applied in April 2013 as well, and the last letter I got from them asking my identification cards and returning original documents in Jan. 2014 until now I didn't receive test invitation, mine is Edmonton office as well..

They said will send you the letter.

I wonder why some applicants were given the oath dates right after the test and some were not The officer didnt mention any issue to you I assume...
 
That's right. Looks like some inconsistency.
My friends who wrote test up until Jan 22, were invited for the Oath on Mar 30. Our test was on Feb 05. There have been a few Oath ceremonies scheduled after Mar 30th, (Apr 07 and Apr 09) and no word for us yet as well.
