October 2016 - Citizenship Applicants

I received my test invite yesterday(updated spreadsheet already) by mail, my name is "GH" in the spreadsheet btw.

Test is scheduled on Dec 9th, which I can't attend as I have a trip booked 6 months ago to visit my parents(haven't seen them for 2 years).

Anyone know what's the proper process to inform IRCC about reschedule? if reschedule, how long do people normally wait after the original test invite date?

are you in canada or you already traveled?

if i am in your place..i will go for the test and delay my home trip.. coz the process is already to unpredictable.. and if we contribute to delay the process...then might be the case got delayed significantly.. and it will go back to queue.. i dont know how long the queue will be..

Thanks for the advice...unfortunately the ticket I bought is not changable....anyone ever tried to reschedule before?

I talked to IRCC agent, she said i don't have to do anything until I miss the test. Basically I only can send letter to IRCC local office to explain, then they will send me reschedule invite...

i didn't read on this forum about missing deliberately.. but i read that someone failed..and get test invite again in month time..
what i saw your case is individual..so might be its a problem of 1 ticket.. like $$$ or 1$$$... for me its shouldn't be problem if i see the big picture of getting Canadian citizenship

Don't wait to miss the test. Write a letter to the address provided on the test invite letter at your local office requesting a rescheduling of the test. There have been other members in the past that have rescheduled their test but unfortunately I can't remember the name(s)....

Thanks, I wrote a letter via WebForm last night which is what they recommend, maybe I will write a letter to local office.

Test letter is sent through regular mail. And yes it should update on eCas as well but sometimes it won't. It showed on my eCas before the actual letter arrived but there are other members who never had eCas updated....

This is where i'm getting confused. Agent on the phone told me not to do anything until i miss the test, I will have 30 days to explain or they will automatically reschedule for me.
I also sent a letter via WebForm to CIC last night, but the agent told me not too..

Go with what is on the letter.... you did the right thing in my opinion.
