Lol... you are funny. I ordered my physical file just to see if there is any information to explain the quick test time. Will share when I get it.

Hi SenoritaBella,

Did you see your test invite on your ecas? If yes did it get updated before you have it in mail or after?


Thanks

The test is not hard if you study. I read the entire guide and practiced using the apps/links below which doctorb shared:
Discover Canada: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discovercanada (english, french also available)

Citizenship Counts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocasi.cic.quiz&hl=en

The latter is also on the web: http://citizenshipcounts.ca/

N.b. Citizenship Counts was funded by CIC -- so I hope it's pretty good with its quiz questions! <= this is what doctorb told me.

I also practiced using these links: https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en-CA&source=hp&q=citizenship+test+practice&gbv=2&oq=citizenship+test+p&gs_l=heirloom-hp.3.1.0l10.187.5266.0.7156.8.7.0.1.1.0.172.624.1j4.5.0....0...1ac.1.34.heirloom-hp..2.6.640.jvAf_wkWzhI

I can see my test invite on ecas. But I don't know if it was updated before I got it in the mail or after because I did not check ecas for a while. When I checked ecas on the same I got the letter, it was showing the test invite, so it seems the notice was there before(just my guess).

According to CIC's eCas, the "In Process" indicates it's at the local office:

Application for Canadian Citizenship (Grant of Citizenship)
RECEIVED
(A decision has not been made yet.)

Application Received
Your application has been received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Citizenship and Immigration Canada officials will review your application and the required documents and citizenship fees to ensure they meet the minimum processing requirements.

IN PROCESS
(A decision has not been made yet.)

Application In Process
Your file has been sent to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) office closest to your home for processing.

The CIC office will complete the necessary steps for a citizenship judge to make a decision on your application. If additional information or documents are needed, the CIC office will contact you.

If you are between the ages of 18 and 54, you will have to write the citizenship test. The citizenship test will determine if you meet the language and knowledge requirements for citizenship. You will be notified by mail about the time and place of your test. Once you receive your acknowledgment letter and the booklet called Discover Canada by mail, you should begin to study for the test. Applicants who are 55 years old or older and minors are not required to take the citizenship test.

An interview with a citizenship judge may also be required. Should this be necessary, you will be notified by mail about the time and place of your interview.

Application Withdrawn
If you wish to withdraw your application, you must advise us before a decision on your application has been made.

DECISION MADE
(A decision has been made at this point.)

Applicant Notified
You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application.

If you meet the requirements, you will be invited to a citizenship ceremony where you will take the oath of citizenship and receive a certificate of Canadian citizenship.

If you do not meet the requirements, you will be informed in writing.
