Heyyyya,
Sounds like Ottawa is not too bad as I thought !
I got the letter inviting me to take the test by Feb 23rd 2015. It's been one year since I've submitted the family application of four. I acutally added kids school history which I forgot to include with the application back in Oct 2013, so yes, the complete file was received sometime by Feb 2014
My wife letter for the test is expected to be received within the next couple of days. Note that we've received fingerprint for my wife before x-mas break, so its kinda quick response from CIC guys
