Congrats, updated the sheet

Thanks!

There wouldn’t be any delays. If you have an option to send it yourself. Do an urgent courier. Good luck with that!

Many Thanks Jayson.

I got 20/20 on the test. Used the below links and listened to the book on audio a few times. Try for 3-5mins on the test and only do 20 questions each time.

Thanks! Should I focus more on Ontario related questions (since I live there) or should I give equal importance to all provinces/territories?

I applied November 30th, wrote test May 14th and still waiting for oath swearing date even though my status is showing as 'decision made'. Anyone else experience this delay? It's 2 months now since I wrote the test. I live in Toronto - downtown. I wrote the test in Scarborough. Below are my details for the excel file...

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on November 30, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on February 6, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on March 6, 2018.
4. We sent you a notice on April 26, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on May 14, 2018 at 10:15 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

Our timelines are almost identical, I'm a few days ahead. In the same boat. It'll probably be another month or so judging by the current timeline.

I got an email from immigration today. I was at work so I couldn't read it but I saw it pop up on my phone and got excited! Turns out, it was just a survey full of questions about Newcomer Services... Dang!

The poor person was agonisingly kept waiting exactly six months for an AOR, and I remember how happy s/he was to receive AOR back in May. The mental torture must have been awful for her/him. An absolutely unforgivable inconsideration by IRCC, I think. Simply awful service.
