I took and passed the test 2 days ago. I was told to expect for oath-taking letter to arrive within 4 to 6 months.

Hi. Are you sure that it is 4 to 6 months, not weeks?

Hi Suin,

It varies from office to office. Mississauga is one of the fastest, so you should receive your oath letter much sooner.

Did anyone who took the test together with you get an oath letter right after the interview? Or everyone was told that their letters would be mailed later?

Hi YYZguy416,
thank you for your reply. Yes, they did give the oath letter to the test takers who had their test in this morning before noon. As for all our group they said that the oath letter would be mailed to us sometime in 4-6 weeks time.

That's a long wait... Wonder why it's taking them so long to schedule the oath? What else do they need to check after the interview and all the background checks done?
