Usually it's about a year until you get a test date. Unless you get an RQ, which can come before the 1 year mark.Canadian2015 said:

Thanks Yolka,
I am sure you will hear good news soon. Are you in scarbrough office as well ?
Today I met a random person who said that his citizenship test was held in Glen Ernie Mississauga, and he told me the following:
He applied on May, 2013 !
His citizenship test was today
He passed and was given an oath date on the spot for next week.
I even asked him about the oath thing whether it was only him or every successful applicant, he said he couldn't see what was going on with every specific person.
However, they were all told by CIC officials "as part of the instructions" the oath will be next week for the eligible applicants of today.
The oath thing might be true, as I have seen people reporting the same thing. However, what I still kind of doubt is that he applied on May !
I told him, so you mean the entire process took 6 months for you in Mississauga office, he said yes.
Well, I don't know that person and cannot trust his info, but just wanted to share it in case anyone has the similar timeline, or attended the test today in Mississauga to confirm.

Hello Guys,
I will be due to apply for Citizenship on the 12th December 2013 base on the residency calculator reply.
However, I have just booked my flight for a 6 weeks vacation outside Canada.
Should I submit my application first before traveling or wait until I come back from my vacation?
Is there a limit to the number of times one should travel out of Canada to be qualify for citizenship?
Can somebody please help me with the Citizenship Application Form. Been trying to locate it since.
Again, what is the best available cheap option to bring my nephew and nice to Canada? They just lost their dad and they are teenagers. By our culture, I have to take care of them. I want to ensure they receive quality education here in Canada. Again, how can I get my travel record in and out of Canada till date? Please help.
Thanks,
Bethel7

That's amazing... and not fair to the applicants who applied earlier that May 2013 applicants.
Whatthewhat? That's crazy!professional 1 said:
You should give yourself a few weeks margin when applying, just in case CIC disagrees with your calculations. You'd best travel first and then come back and make sure you have time to spare before you apply. You can find the citizenship application package here.Bethel7 said:
You can find information on sponsoring your niece and nephew here. Note that they typically would have to be orphaned and below 18 years of age to be eligible.
It is actually amazing. I would feel happy for him. However, it is really frustrating to other applicants who have been waiting for so long.Suin said:
I was under the impression that it depends on how busy the immigration office is, but based on what he said, it does not look like it if he was telling the truth.
What i am aware of is that Glen Erin is a busy office as well, or at least not fast to the point of finishing an application in 6 months.
I hope soprofessional 1 said:
. I was with Scarborough but recently was told that my file was transferred to St.Clair's and I might have my test in January. The agent said if I do not hear back from them by January I should give them a call. I am not sure how accurate his information was but will be happy even for January test.
