London, ontario citizen applicants

[abedi555]

Oh hi abedi555!

Hi ,

I hope you get your test invite soon. All the best to you. Before my test I called CIC and they gave me the test date .Once the information was updated on ECAS it stated as they sent me the notice on Oct 16th but I didn’t receive the email until Nov 1. Don’t just wait for the update. Call or email them as sometimes they have it set but some reason the information is not updated

That's correct . There were 30 of us on the day of test and I was assured everything was completed and I should expect invite soon. Status is still in process and I sent enquiry through web form but received generic response . Process ha slowed down for London residents

I was hoping not to have Toronto or Mississauga as my office as they are slow. Didn't know that London would be even slower. Seems like the average time to invitation is 6 months after In Process.

I agree. One call or web inquiry doesn't hurt.

I am a new applicant. My application went in process just yesterday. But I know someone from London who applied in April and haven't heard back after the acknowledgement. When a web form was submitted, they said that it's under 12 months so just wait.

I am new too. My application changed to In Process on Nov. 20th. I am planning a trip to home country in March and I hate to receive the test invite while I am on my trip. That's why I am trying to find out how long on average it takes in London to get test invitation.

Good luck to all of you and please keep this thread alive. Don't forget to update us if you hear anything.

May be you can ask for urgent processing based on your circumstances. Worth a try.

I just sent them a webform inquiry. If I hear nothing back after 10 business days, I'm giving them a call. I figure by this point the application will go over the processing time if they don't get the test invite to me by the end of the month; that's assuming it takes 3 months or more to receive the oath invitation.

Hopefully you will hear good news before Christmas

So essentially I got a canned response. What makes this entire thing worse is that I've been here in Canada for the past 13 years, so it's not like I don't meet the requirements.

Hope for the best and just wait . That's all we can do . Unfortunately London office is processing very slowly and there is no way to expedite the process

Enjoy the moment and before you know it you will be a citizen
