Anyone in NB had any movement lately? Still IP here since June 27th with no test invite. I haven't been able to find anyone on the spread sheets who had a test invite in recent months either.

Thanks for the reply. Its reassuring to know that the length of time between IP and Test Invite is typical in NB, or at least not unusual. I'm at almost 4 months now and you waited 6 months for that bit so I'm going to stop fretting about it for now.
Congratulations on the DM too, that must be a huge relief. Hopefully you'll get an oath invitation soon.
So, I finally got my test invite today, scheduled for November 21st in Fredericton. Unlike others I know who have done the same in Fredericton, my test isn't at the IRCC offices but rather at the Fredericton Inn. I wonder why?
I had my test/interview yesterday in Fredericton. Passed the test 20/20 (It was really easy, much easier than I expected) and then had a very pleasant 10 minute or so interview. This morning my status was changed to decision made.
I was told to expect the oath ceremony to be anything from 3 to 6 months from now. Hopefully it'll be sooner, rather than later but like everything else, we have no control over that.

I did my test and interview in Fredericton yesterday on Nov 22 and got Decision Made at 8 AM today on Nov 23. During the interview, I had a little chat with the officer. The reason it took us so long for the test invite (I am a January applicant) is because the Fredericton office currently only has one officer so all the officers in Fredericton Inn this week we saw are from Montreal office. This probably explains why our test is not in IRCC office but in Fredericton Inn. They came to Fredericton this week to do a few days citizenship tests and interviews. The tests and interviews have been scheduled both in the mornings and afternoons on Nov 21, 22, and 23 so they can process all the applicants that have been accumulated. I believe that they are traveling to Moncton from Montreal in December 10-14 for the regional tests, interviews, and ceremony.
She also told me that all the people they have been testing and interviewing in Fredericton this week will be all scheduled for the oath that would happen in January or February. It might be March but unlikely. It will be about 200 people that have tests this week so it will take a couple of days and probably both morning and afternoon to process our oath ceremonies.

Congratulations on passing the test and getting DM. Its such a relief to know we're more or less past it all now and only have to wait for the ceremony.
I got my oath invitation today via email. The oath is scheduled on January 16th, 2019. I submitted my application in January 2018 and it took almost a year to complete the journey. I am glad that it is finally over.
I also got the oath invitation today via email, for January 16th as well. My application was received on April 3rd so less than a year for me, but I'm also hugely relieved that it's almost over now.
Good morning. I am also taking my oath in Fredericton on the 16th. I was hoping you might be able to help me with a question. The invitation said to bring only one guest. Both of my parents have been planning to fly to Canada for the ceremony but now I am not sure whether they will even be able to get into the room or whether it makes sense for them to book the tickets. Any thoughts on how you are handling guests or how lenient I should expect them to be?
I was wondering the same thing after reading that. One guest doesn't seem much but I get the impression that there has been a backlog in NB and these ceremonies are going to be getting through a large number of applicants, perhaps much more than is usual so maybe that's the reason for them saying only one guest?
.
I really don't know who you could contact to get a proper response. Obviously you don't want your parents to fly all the way from Poland, only to not be allowed in the room, that would be awful, but at the same time, we may all arrive on the 16th and then find out that it doesn't apply and some people have 5 guests etc.
The only thing I can think of is to contact UNB and ask to speak to somebody responsible for the building where the ceremony takes place and ask them. Perhaps it would also be possible to contact the IRCC office in Fredericton and ask them, though no idea if that would be successful or not.
