Yes, when they state that, I have been assuming that they must be refering to the color of the main page.
Do they get 2 pages like us (non-RQd)?. One in white and the other one in color?

Hello Keesio,

With regards to the 2nd letter that was red in colour in your case, what if the second letter is pink or purple in colour. Is there any significance in the different colours of the second letter?

Thanks in advance for replying me!

Phenomenal.
For my test day, people 18-54 years of age got one colour and people not of that age got the other. That is the only significance that I recall. And the group not 18-54 went straight to the interviews while the rest of us had to take the test first.

Yes, that's how it goes with age.
And it's not the second letter in color. It's the second page of the same letter you get inviting you to write the test for non-RQd people.

Okay I see. Thanks!

In fact, now that I have the famous test invitation letter in front of me, it actually has 3 pages. The first 2 are in white and the third one with generic instructions, is the one that is in orange-colored paper.

I was RQed before test and wrote it at St. Clair and had received CIT 0023 (12-2013) E GCMS 2 purple pages of test invitation and Annex B in white pages.

People are getting various color test invitations like Pink, Green, Orange, Yellow, White. I am sure there is some meaning to it. But don't know what. I just care about how much time does a Purple letter take to get Oath date. ;)

We can use this thread to determine who got which:

Color ?

RQed or not ?

Test centre ?

Oath date ?

to be clear, it is your official invitation letter is purple (and not the paper with the generic instructions)?

Their letter is diff.
I don't think it comes with the generic instructions page the non-RQd people get.
and probably each visa office is different.

24-Jul-2012 (Got a wrong req, so sent PP only on 3rd sep)
My test invitation letter was purple in color (first two pages white and the general instructions page in purple).
All the people who came to write the test with me (that i could notice) had purple.

My application was submitted in mid Oct 2013, test & oath in Feb 2014. It was mississauga office.

I dont think purple letter means RQ, because I never got an RQ.
