Hi LesBLesB said:I missed my exam on January 7, 2014.
I received the mail on January 8 to write the test on January 7.
They sent the notification on December 24, 2013.
Did not recieve any mail until January 8, 2014.
Has anyone had a miised exam experience and how it sorted out.
The relative got lucky. If CIC doesn't access your excuse, your application is cancelled.QAI said:Wow so now your relative has to wait 8 months to do the test because he missed it ?
Are you kidding? You're the same person posting that you may miss your oath because you will be in Thailand on holiday for 5 weeks.LesB said:I missed my exam on January 7, 2014.

That's actually scary, seeing from all the folks who have received a test date, it's only a week from when they received the letter. I suggest to all those rq recipients who got the notice to prepare for the exams in Dec 2013 or close to keep their eyes peeled for the mails and dont plan any vacations/trips and call call center agents daily.PMM said:Hi

No-shows for a test and/or an interview with a citizenship official —New (effective September 3, 2013)
Prior to OB 476, applicants who could not attend their test and/or interview with CIC staff were scheduled for a second test/interview session or, in some cases, scheduled for a hearing with a citizenship judge. The first iteration of OB 476 introduced pilot procedures whereby an RQ was triggered if the applicant did not show up at two citizenship tests or interviews. This procedure is no longer in effect.
New Procedures – Administrative closure of applications
Effective September 3, 2013, applicants will be sent one test/interview notice. If the applicant does not show up at the appointed place and time, and fails to provide an acceptable reason for this absence, their application will be administratively closed.
Call the Call Centre daily?! Holy moly, that's overkill. Check ecas, yes, but calling the Call Centre everyday is a waste of everyone's time and an inappropriate use of the Call Centre service.QAI said:I suggest to all those rq recipients who got the notice to prepare for the exams in Dec 2013 or close to keep their eyes peeled for the mails and dont plan any vacations/trips and call call center agents daily.
It's better safe than sorry, and i am saying this for because I just found out today that all checks (security, background, immigration) are complete.eileenf said:Call the Call Centre daily?!

That is the problem, it is hard to get canadapost or anyone to accept blame and why would they accept blame for late delivery? They might provide a reason that might not be acceptable to CIC who might simply say you could made a phone call to stay on top of it.It may be tricky to get CIC to accept that the letter truly was late in arrival, so the more outside corroboration you can get, the better.
