For all those waiting too long (Montreal), yesterday I called CIC and they confirmed my Citizenship Ceremony for August 7th. My ecas was not updated though and I still have not received the letter (the letter was sent yesterday). It's nearly 39 months waiting but now it's coming to an end. Here it goes my timeline:
-----------------------------------
We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 2, 2011.
We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on May 2, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
We started processing your application on May 17, 2012.
We sent you a notice on October 3, 2012 to appear and write the citizenship test on October 22, 2012 at 12:45 PM. 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.
-----------------------------------
The reason for the delay was that my wife had to send an RQ (right after the citizenship exam). But she finally got the approval from the CJ (no hearing was required).
Good luck for everyone! It's coming (seems CIC was in vacation mode)!
