Hi

I am a silent observer of this forum but never got registered. I must say that this forum is really helpful and people here are doing great job.

I applied for Canadian Citizenship in August 2013 from Calgary and they started processing it on 12th Nov 2013. The file was transferred to Calgary in March, 2014

Today I called CIC and was informed by the agent that my test has been scheduled for 5th January, 2015. But the problem is that i have not received the test invitation letter yet. The mailed it out on 28th November, 2014.

I asked the agent about it and he told me that i have to go the test regardless whether you receive the letter or not. He also mentioned the documents to bring on the day of test.

I am confused now and want some suggestions from people here.

Thanks
FZB
Hi FZB,

If I may ask, when in Aug, 2013 did you apply. I applied Nov 7, 2013 - your application date may allow me to better estimate when I could expect a test invite.

Thanks!

Whats the confusion? Just go and give the test. You have enough time to get the documents that the agent mentioned.
