Interview was just few minutes. The lady asked if I was working and asked to see my PR card, old passports, driver's license or health card, landing papers. I think the interview is just to find out if one can speak English cause the lady beside me was asked by interviewer to say a little bit about herself. All in all it was ok but they were very particular about seeing all old passport

Just called CIC, my application was transferred to the Calgary office on May 21, 2014.
I updated my stats on the timeline spreadsheet but I was afraid to touch it in case I messed it up. My apologies if I screwed up the sheet.

No updates. I called CIC again today and they said nothing new in my file. I asked them if anyone from Calgary has reviewed my file yet, they said they can't tell because the system doesn't give details if anyone has started working on the file.
They told me as this point, no issues appear on my file and it is just the matter of waiting for the test to be scheduled which can take up to 24 months. However, if any documents are requested at anytime in the future, it will turn the application to non-routine which will take 36 months. Changing the application from routine to non-routine can be at any time of the process even after the test.
Last thing they mentioned, they don't understand why some applications are processed faster than others. May people applied in the same week or even the same day but some of them get the test notification way later than the others with no known reason.
They just advised me to wait until to be called for the test or submit more documents if CIC decides to request more docs.
Waiting Patiently now :)

Yeah, nothing on my end either. I'm kinda concerned about my background checks. Even if i was to get a test invite today, the test date wont be for another two weeks (mid dec) and it takes around 3 months to get an oath and right around that time my background checks will be expiring. I think we in this for the long haul. Incompetent CIC has no idea how to allocate resources in an efficient manner.
