Hi everyone,

We applied as family. We did not request for ATIP as we want to save our $5. We called them last Thursday and got the same information that everyone of us is receiving (that our file is on the waiting list and the results have not been uploaded yet, and that they have up to 6 months to process after the exam). That's why we were so surprised when we got the oath letter last night. My online status is not yet updated too. I wouldn't advice everyone to call CIC, they seem to have a standard answer for everyone who calls.
 
Congrats!

Thank you very much! I hope i will get the oath letter soon!
 
I think there's going to have a wave of letters for everyone this May & June like what happened in December and January.

Good luck to everyone.

I hope so, but there are not so many oath ceremonies scheduled for next months, as it was in January and February

Hey folks, do you know how i could know when my checks are going to expired

ATIP report can tell you that.

A good CIC agent can also tell you that depending on if he is willing to dig deep into your file and get the info for you.
 
How to explain my situation - I don't want to wait any further moment - my 3 months I finished today. According to the officer who took my interview and the officer who conducted my test, I deserve to get something by today.
 
Congrats,,, hopefully all of us will be part of this wave,, my test date was Feb 20 also and supposedly Mississauga is faster than other offices but nothing yet,, I was told the same thing during the interview 8 weeks max today I completed my 10th week!! Good luck to everyone
