Nobody knows. Immigration is funny that way. They just seem to schedule people when they feel like it and if you miss a date, you may have to wait a long time.

I know someone (local office: Edmonton) from another forum whose test was scheduled in May but he/she missed it and still waiting for a new test date. Our local office's backlog is getting bigger and bigger every day since we have not had a citizenship judge since January 2012. They still have not scheduled the test date for many applicants whose case went into process last year. Your wait will probably be loooong ....

I hope it is not true. Although I have not heard anyone taking test since May. I know there were tests in February, March and May this year.

Who told you that CIC only schedules tests twice a year?

I called the CIC office in edmonton, after waiting for over 6 months. They told me that now the test is only twice a year so if you missed one you have to wait till the next date which she didnt tell me what month will it be..

I missed my date in April so lets see :( it sucks

Can some one confirm this?

Could you please share the Edmonton office's phone number with us? :)

If the last test was scheduled in May, than the next one should be scheduled in November! Hopefully we will be invited for that one!

That is not the number of the local Edmonton office. That is the number of the main CIC office.

Why do not you order your GCMS notes? It is free ... Hopefully you will be able to confirm that you were indeed put in a queue for test and not for CJ hearing (which can also happen if someone misses the test and it takes a lot longer).
