I was also sent the RQ before my test.
I did not think the interview went well, as I had 5 entrances on my record that I did not mention in the RQ. I believe these were one day trips across the border but I could not verify it at the time. Also, I was arrested once but not convicted and they asked about this but did not go into it. The interview ended abruptly (in my opinion), with the officer saying that they will send me information on the next step. FYI: a CJ was sitting in the room , I think he was reviewing the process for quality control, we had a brief conversation about this when my officer left the room to photocopy my documents.
I gave CIC a call recently because I am planning to travel in April and the officer said my documents have been verified, I passed the test and there are no red flags on my file, but he cannot say for sure if I will be referred to the CJ. In his eyes I am only waiting for the Oath date to be sent through and everything else is fine.
It seems to me that the document verification is the last step in the process if you have done everything else. Also from the previous post there seems to be a 5 week period between the test and the oath letter .
My test was done at st clair
