I got the AoR yesterday. Can someone update my entry on the spreadsheet?

Wow...It took them 202 Days to send you AOR.

I have to appreciate your patience.

I have a feeling that they are purposely doing this to randomize the applicants, so they cant track or predict it... I don't know why.

Team,
I took the test today. It was easy. I have to say the hardest were the True/False questions, because the sentences had 90% true and 10% false information in them (which makes the correct answer False) and that creates a psychological hesitation. If you have a test coming up, be mindful of this little trick.
Interview was very quick and routine. I did take the opportunity to ask for Expedited Processing. The officer said they would take it to their manager and "call" me. I'll let you know if this really happens.
One observation I made was the group before us was with a different set of officers and some were told they will have their oath in a week.
Our group was the "trouble" group. We were all told to check the mail in a few months. One was actually told she should expect something in OCTOBER.
Anyways ... that's how the day unfolded. I was at Scarborough by the way.

When a Brampton resident gets a test invite, it becomes known what their processing office is and so the spreadsheet is changed to reflect the correct location. What you see of Brampton applicants on the sheet are people who just haven't yet reached that process. There have been quite a few Brampton applicants past the test invite but are labeled as Mississauga.

Hi, I received my oath letter on April 9, and took my oath on May 15. I wish everyone the best as they proceed with this journey.

I'd appreciate if you could update the file.

Proof positive that: a) Scarborough is not anywhere near the fastest and b) Mississauga applicants should stop wishing they were being processed in Scarborough!

My father had interview in Mississauga office yesterday and it went well. I accompanied him being the Representative on file and I was also the interpreter for the interview, though my father answered all questions. We were told that they will send a notice in mail for Oath in about 2 months.

E-cas changed to DM today.

Would you briefly share the interview questions of your father or the kind of document verification.
Appreciate your response.
