My husband's test is done today. interview officer didn't ask for anything else other than the ID, PR and about job.
He even showed the CBSA and I94 dates. All good, they asked to wait for 2-4 months for oath invitation.

And now the wait for oath begin.............

It's access to information and privacy. For your interest, you can request ATIP under Privacy Act to track any information of yourself from the government of Canada. The request will show you the most detailed application status. It takes within 30days.(normally around 30 days) I don't think it will ever affect your application because they belong to two sectors of the department. And there will be no record showing you requesting one for the section who's dealing with your application. I requested one 2 months ago since the call centre agents are always bit?hes not telling you anything. I'm planning to request one every 2 months.

Hi CalgaryBD,

My file was transferred to the Calgary office on March 17, 2015, too. I do check the status everyday and the line in my online status was disappeared, last Tuesday. It is nothing to worry about, I think.
Could you please post something here if you get the invitation of the test?
Thanks :)
Hi Samschi,

Any luck??

Please read the official "Discover Canada" guide multiple times. Don't rely on free online tests to pass the test. They are just added advantage to learn the information but in order to pass the test, please concentrate and religiously study the official "Discover Canada" Guide.

Which documents should I take on the test day except the ones mentioned in the test invitation letter?
Do I need to take all the original documents that I attached ?
