I don’t think they can tell you your test date unless it scheduledDoes calling CIC helps? I am still waiting for my test invite. If I call CIC will they be able to tell me when can I expect my test?

I checked my ecas and this is what is writtent:
5-We sent you a notice on January 24, 2019 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on February 11, 2019
My question is am I supposed to receive a letter or an email?
Thank you and I wish the best for all the people that are still waiting
Cheers
Thank you for the reply,Congrats! You will receive an email in due time, dont worry. Which is your processing centre?
The ethnicity factor is decided by the number of applications received per location and their ethnicity mix.If a lot of Indians and Chinese are applying from a city and there is someone from Poland, the Poland applicant will get priority in Oath (not in the processing). See this article and there are many like this. You can see that Philippines, Indians, Chinese and Iran have highest applicant rate. If you PM some people on this forum and they are willing to share their ethnicity, you will know what I am saying. I have PMed more than 16 people on this forum and the assertion is right.based on " CIC wants equal representation of all ethnic origins in citizenship."
does that mean applicants from India, china, iran have longer wait time for oath than others?
did you call CIC and ask them which background check are you waiting on? there are three that they do, I'm on the second one.Same boat. In process since August 15 and waiting for test invite. - Mississauga
That is interesting, do you have any idea where I could find those stats including all of the percentages of ethnicities/nationalities granted citizenship? I googled around, but I may not be using the correct key words!The ethnicity factor is decided by the number of applications received per location and their ethnicity mix.If a lot of Indians and Chinese are applying from a city and there is someone from Poland, the Poland applicant will get priority in Oath (not in the processing).

BTW, it is confirmed that all oath scheduling is done by Sydney office. There is a lot of paperwork and system entries to be made after the DM is made and that is centrally handled from Sydney. The oath logistics is handled by the local office. Local logistics means local arrangements, not decision making.
I suggest that you take a look on the excell spreadsheet and sort it by the local office. That will give you an idea how long the applicants from your city and your timeframe are waiting for the oath after DM.Does the oath only come via email or can they send it by Post as well?
Also, my status changed to DM on Dec 16 and I am a May applicant. Do you think I will have to wait until April? The officer who interviewed me said that I could receive my Oath anytime before May.
The stats can be asked from CIC under a Freedom of Information request.That is interesting, do you have any idea where I could find those stats including all of the percentages of ethnicities/nationalities granted citizenship? I googled around, but I may not be using the correct key words!
