I think you already got it on the May thread. Some guy posted about test invite yesterday. I think you might see in your mail box in few days. I am guessing you are not the Email-AOR recipient .

Good news! So, approx. 4 months between transfer to local office and test invite, huh?

Good news. My spouse had few stamps in Spanish/Russian and they did not ask for translation.I have heard good things about officer's in Kitchener.
But if you can get translation for YMCA or anyplace without paying a fortune or much effort..it does not hurt. You never know.
All the best and keep us posted.

Hopefully next is "Eltorpe" and me. :)

Nice to see that things are moving in Kitchener office.
 
From what I was told by the CIC officer that handled my case, they cleared a huge chunk of backlogged files between Aug and Dec 2014, So things should continue smoothly going forward.
