Oh I did but I missed my stupid test date just because I got the letter late. so the original test date was April 2012. So I guess I am back in the line since April 2012.

I was told the same thing: Call back in July ... :(
First it was July, 2012 then Nov, 2012 then around Feb, 2013 then July, 2013 ...and I bet that if I call them in July, they will come up with another date ....

black star - It does not help when your file gets lost in transit between Sydney and the local office for several months ... This is what happened to us.

Sorry but your timeline seems to be way too short ... Current timeline for citizenship applications is 21 months. It is hard to believe that you got it within 5 months! Also you CANNOT apply for citizenship from outside of Canada. You CANNOT apply through an embassy or consulat for grant of citizenship. You HAVE to send the application form to Sydney. There is no other way ....

Well, than your case is completely different. You were a Canadian citizen by birth, you just had to provide proof. You did not have to be a permanent resident for 3 years before getting your citizenship.
The timeline for you application cannot be compared to ours who apply for grant of citizenship. :)
