It was easy! It took me only 5 minutes to finish the exam. lol,
the only hard part of the whole process was taking picture of my PR Card!.

Totally agree. It took me longer to take a good photo than the test

Anyone else waiting for Test Invite ? It's getting ridiculous at this point ... approaching 2 years of application. I have sent them 3 messages and get got the same default answer .

I am still waiting for the test invite unfortunately

Still waiting too

So annoying that some candidates from March, April, May, June, July and even August and September 2020 got Oath invites. And non-urgent ones.
But I agree there are many from 2019 too still waiting. What a mess.

An unfortunate happening at the oath ceremony a few days back (Calgary):
During the Oath we had a couple of people in the waiting room who knew each other, so as one would, they had a bit of a chat and seemed really happy about the situation. ONLY to be interrupted by some bitter old man with a stick up his you-know-where, who said "You're going to be Canadian so SPEAK ENGLISH!".
Well that definitely killed their vibe, made them feel bad enough to go out back and cover their home nation's script in the background with a Canadian flag and you could tell it ruined an otherwise happy moment not to mention killing the vibe of the whole waiting room.
The guy who said that accidently left his mic on, and was sitting there in a huff, arms crossed and said "I don't know whether I should be happy to be Canadian, or angry because I'm not going to be German anymore".
Well, he definitely didn't look happy, came off as racist, and his wife looked embarrassed for him - it did not look like a fun household.
All of us have been waiting almost two years for this special moment, and this guy dumps his negative BS on us.
This was the Calgary 23rd Oct Oath btw so if this person happens to be in this group "SHAME ON YOU!" If you had read anything or knew anything about the culture here, what you did was very UNCanadian.
Also, you're a Canadian now so maybe learn to EMBRACE all cultures that live here and think about making some changes in how you think and conduct yourself. You can leave your racist s@#$ at the door!

This is so unfortunate to hear. As I was reading this, I was sort of hoping to read something like the IRCC employee booting him off the ceremony. But Alas

Unfortunately no officials were in the waiting room to witness this.
