I don't mean to disappoint you, but according to my MP's office "until the 12 month time frame has elapsed there is no way for us to request file to be escalated and even then there is no guarantee that they will grant such a request.", basically you (by yourself or via MP's office) can make the request but they don't have to do anything about it

Hi I had my test on Sep 20 at Scarborough and today (Sep 25) I checked eCAS and surprisingly see my oath schedule on Oct 10 1:05pm but have not received an email so far. So I called CIC and they told me that the location is Chinese cultural centre in Scarborough. And they said the invite was sent in Postal mail Sep 24, even though i have been receiving all the letters in an email, which is pretty weird. An agent I spoke with has no idea why they switched to postal mail...Btw she said the invite is not necessary , just bring document the following, Anyone had the test on the same day as mine , you can check your eCAS and share pls.


When you attend the citizenship ceremony, here is the list of documents to bring with you:

• (If available) The Notice to appear to take the oath of citizenship letter,
• Two original pieces of personal identification, one of which has your photograph and signature on it (e.g. driver’s license, health card, passport, etc.),
• All your original documents that support your citizenship application (e.g., Immigration Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688), birth certificate, etc.),
• Your Permanent Resident card, if you have one,
• All passports and travel documents in your possession (current and expired), and
• (Optional) A holy book of your choice, if you wish to use one to swear on for the Oath of Citizenship.

My test is on same day and same time. Even i did not get any mail or email for oath location.

Maybe their agent is an parental leave or on a stay vacation in their office for the last 11 months,let’s see if they all get test invite around the same time.
