Congrats..............fairooz said:Wrote my test today at Scarborough. Got a perfect score and had a 10 minute interview with the officer. She verified my documents and asked a few basic questions about what I do. She had my file in front of her and I noticed while she was verifying the dates in the residence calculator form, she was marking them off based on my passport stamps. I noticed she hadn't ticked a few as there were a few trips to the US by land which didn't have entry stamps. Luckily, I had my CBSA report with me as when I applied, the citizenship application form did not have the explicit warning to not apply to CBSA on your own for your report. The officer asked to keep the CBSA report which she added to my file. She then congratulated me and said to expect the oath notice in 2 to 3 months.
Studying wise I read discover canada a few times and did some online tests. Now let's see how long the oath takes. Just wanted to say thanks a bunch to all the helpful members of this forum! Your guidance and support were invaluable and I wish us all the best of luck with our journey to citizenship!
Has your received line disappeared on your ecas? I am just trying to figure out if indeed there is a connection between the disappearance of that famous line and transfer of file to local office.coolifrs said:Alright everyone... Long time lurker on the forum
I got a test invite today. I'm a March applicant who received a fingerprint request as part of the process. I thought my application would be a "non-routine" application that would go well into 3 years... well today I got a notification to do a test and go for an interview
Here is my stats:
Application sent by courier: 2014-03-14
Application received by CIC in Sydney: 2014-03-18
File transferred to Mississauga: not sure when.
Processing office: Mississauga
AOR received / CIC started processing application: Early May 2014
Fingerprint requested and processed by RCMP: Early August 2014
Test notification received: Today
Test date scheduled: Last week of September 2014!
I live and work in downtown Toronto, but I travel quite often for work and pleasure to the USA and Europe (over 32 short trips). Given the numerous amount of trips, I provided additional documentation to support my trips and residency in Canada. I've lived here under student status, work permit, and PR since 2002. I'll let you guys know how the interview went in a few weeks time!
Also ECAS does not show my test notification. But I got it in the mail today!
yes it has, quite some time ago. it used to be two lines - now only one "in process" line.zsha said:Has your received line disappeared on your ecas? I am just trying to figure out if indeed there is a connection between the disappearance of that famous line and transfer of file to local office.

Don't expect anything much. When I expected a test letter I got a fingerprint request instead. Then.. after submitting fingerprint request and expecting to wait a while as a non-routine applicant, I got a test letter Just relax and you'll get there eventuallyNomi2012 said:hi.............
