Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

[a.R.]

Hello a.R ,

Some I have finally come to the end of my journey. Here is my timeline:
We received you application on May 22, 2013
We sent you a letter and a study book.... May 22, 2013
We started processing your app on August 13, 2013
I was invited to take the test on 27th Jan. 2015
Oath ceremony 6th of March 2015.
I must say that I am rather surprised that I received a letter for the oath ceremony just one week after the test date. Seems like Calgary office is finally getting their acts together.

What is the latest from your end a.r? Can someone pls update the spreadsheet with my dates . thanks

Congrats. CIC Calgary hold test and oath as per application received or application in process date. Therefore, it makes sense that you got the oath notification within a week of your test.

Waiting for the ceremony letter now.

Congrats. That's interesting that you called them last week and they had no info, yet people like wsm_al, found out about their oath invite before you with a date after yours.

Yes you are right. The same thing happened with me at the time of test invitation too, I called and agent said no date but I got the test invite just after 2 days.
Sometimes agent doesn't want to give details or may be they didn't like me voice

Check the spreadsheet for Calgary applicants

AlexRox LOT is April, 14th,2014

How do you know the LOT date?
Is it by phone or by ATIP or by ecas?
I have exact dates as yours: received January 30, in process March 18.
But nothing more than that shows on ecas.

Thanks.

Hi Friends,
I am sorry if I am asking too many questions on passport stamps .

I have two Mexican stamps with the clear dates on them. However they don't say arrival or departure( atleast in English). Those are related to very shorts trips , less than 7 days.
I have traveled (about 7 trips) in the 3 years period as travelling is my hobby on short trips(home country and other places). Other than that, my case is straight forward considering work, etc.
I have my Canada border agency report handy as well.

Would you think I should translate those two stamps before the Test ?

Thanks

tdolphin,

Call them and they will tell you the exact date that your file has been transferred to local office. Mine was April 8th 2014. I don't see anything on my ecas regarding the LOT as well. You can call them and ask if they have already sent you an invitation letter for test. Our test date should be the same.

Cheers

I have 3 Mexican stamps in my passport and I am not translating them for my test next week. You are right in saying that the Mexican stamps do not indicate entry or exit. The reason being that they stamp your passport only when you enter the country. There is no exit stamp. The immigration officers should know that. Hence no translation needed.
