I attended the test today, May 28th. I was asked to fill and sign the prohibition (green) form and was waiting in the reception. One officer was talking friendly and helping everyone. I entered the test area with ID card, the invitation letter and prohibition form. The administrator verified my identity and provided the computer shading sheet and a pencil with eraser. She took enough time to explain how to fill and shade the details on the computer shading (answer) sheet.
I read the "Discover Canada" book once. Also went through the websites suggested by other test takers. I took the online practise tests like twice or thrice. Before going to test, I strove hard to memorize all the timelines, people, numbers and events. The test was much lighter that I expected. I took 15 minutes to complete the test. But I could see 10 out of 50 people already finished the test before me. I scored 20 out of 20 questions.
After 5 minutes in the reception area, the officer called out my name. The officer asked for 2 ID cards, PR Card and Passport. She didn't ask for CoPR. She went through the citizenship application and asked how many times I was out of the country in last 5 years. And the same she verified with my passport. She took the prohibition form from me. It took 5 minutes overall and I was asked to sign a form. The officer said the process is over and I will receive invitation for oath in few weeks. The whole experience was pleasant.
There is no change in ECAS. It is still "ìn process". It should be changing later,
