One of my friend missed his test in ottawa since he didnt receive letter on time.
Will he be automatically rescheduled? If yes, in how many weeks/days?

Is not receiving mail a valid excuse?

PS His status was also updated for test invite but he didn't check his status at all

Should have exercised due diligence, knowing that the citizenship test is a critical step.

-was the ecas updated promptly?
-if so, did he attempt to contact CIC and inform them of the issue?

If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us

Rescheduling can be from 1.5 months onwards, depending on the local test site. Last few examples were 1.5 months, more than two months rescheduled. HOWEVER, is the reason for missing the test simply an oversight on the applicants part? Then CIC would have to make that judgement.

Yes, it was updated promptly.

Yes, he did write to CIC

As long as CIC was notified within 30 days of the test date it should be ok. The test just needs to be rescheduled, and it will be depending on their work load. Reschedule times vary between different offices.
