For Vancouver applicants:

I have calculated data of 9 people who have given their test from 4th Feb 2015 to 30 Mar 2015 and have got their oath between 31 March 2015 to 1 Jul 2015
Average processing time from test date to oath date is around 76 days.


Here is the list of number of days it took from test date to oath date for those 9 people:

PERSON DAYS
1 55
2 77
3 94
4 82
5 82
6 42

Thanks Sam! I'm holding my breath for oath and conference (July 8 ). Chances are I have to miss my conference. But hey, oath is once a lifetime. I will have more conferences in the future!

Luckily the dates during your test did not clash. Hopefully, the dates don't clash during the oath.
I hope you would be able to attend the oath as well as the conference.
If dates clash, then, as you said, oath is once a lifetime, you should attend your oath and cancel that conference and go for future conferences. :)

I still don't understand why he would miss his conference if his oath is on Canada Day (very likely). He will have a good 7 days between his oath and the beginning of the conference. No ?

Thanks for the note. I understand there's a chance of that. I did a little math and according to Sam's stats, my date will be around July 6. This conference location is not the greatest. If I book late, all the fees, especially hotel will be very high.

BTW I'm a she, not he ;)

Not a big deal. You can't tell from a person's username.

AsianIndian, I hope what you said will come true, so that I can go to both :) Thanks for your kind speculation about my dates. Hope this is not just my wishful thinking.

I also hope everybody will have good news next week. Have a great weekend! It's sunny in Vancouver!

I need some advice. I just got a travel award to attend my conference on July 8-10. This can cover 1/3 of my expenses. I need to respond to the conference organizers by June 10 if I will accept or decline it. My guess is that my oath will be around July 1 or the week after. It's uncertain I can get my invitation letter by June 10th. What do you suggest me to do? If I don't get invitation by 10th, should I decline this award?
