And Surrey as well
I have the same issue, I did fingerprint before two months, and guess what, I called IRCC many times but they could not be able to confirm that they received my fingerprint from RCMP.
I am not sure what to do, should I contact with my PM?
I think this depends on you spoke with there. Upon my second call to CIC the lady I spoke with reluctantly (used reluctantly bcos she qualified the statement) told me the local processing office has received the result. I assume it is fine because FP request hasn't affected the timeline of my application so far when compared with others.

OK. So just wanted to update my test invite information from the other day. ECAS had changed and said they sent a letter. Today I got said 'letter' in my email ;) So there was obviously a delay between the ECAS update and email arrival.

Okay so I just got my paper confirmation of Test on March 10, 2018.

It is in Mississauga... I don't really care where it is, but someone was asking me on this forum so I decided I would mention it...

As soon as my ECAS line was updated, I sent all of my passport stamps that are not in English for translation (egypt, china, panama...).

I opened the physical letter today, there is nothing about translating the stamps... Is it just me? Or does it vary from office to office?

I still have not paid for the translation (over $200.00 since it is me and my spouse), should I call and cancel the translation or should I play it safe and support the Canadian Economy by paying for the unnecessary translation?

Don't get me wrong, I will pay any money for the test to go smoothly, but isn't that requirement supposed to be on the list?

All it says is bring your passports and a bunch of other docs, no mention of the translations though...

Hi, guys. Just wondering if you received the letter of oath by mail or by checking CIC online account?
Depends on your office... I am in Mississauga. I kept checking my ECAS every day. On Friday I saw the Test line and I received my physical invitation today by regular mail...

I does mention to bring all supporting documents from the 'checklist' and in that list it does tell you that stamps that are not in English or French need to be translated ... choice is yours, but if you don't and they want it you'll be holding up your own application for the sake of a few hundred ...

I guess I will just pay... who cares about 200$... As long as I become a citizen...
