Where did you originally file? When I filed, I was living in Cold Lake Alberta. And from what I've read on other forums, the processing times are much quicker.
And I have also read this is why they opened the center in Scarborough to take some of the burden off the other processing centers in Ontario. It is the most densely populated province, which can also account for the backlog.

Have patience, 2 months seems to be the normal time frame they give agents between tasks for each applicant ;)

Notice to take oath of citizenship received January 21st, 2014

Good luck to all in the process.. it will be your turn soon too.

They say it depends on when you sent the application, but it still varies a lot for no apparent reason, and it's really annoying how they work.

Anyway, my timeline:
App received Aug 2012
Processing started Feb 2013
Test date Dec 2, 2013
Oath Jan 29, 2014

For some reasons related to common sense, I thought ecas would show update before the letter was received, but the letter was dated Jan 17, and still no ecas update...

YAY, ecas has finally been updated!!

We sent you a notice on January 18, 2014 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on January 30, 2014 at 3:30 PM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

I see a few of you have the same Oath date! Will be nice to share the ceremony with you!! So EXCITED!!!!

Seems the day you write the exam they only ask to see your letter to write the exam, current passport (and if you have any expired ones), landing document (should be stapled into the passport you had when landing) PR card, drivers license and health card. They do tell you to bring all supporting documents that you submitted when you applied (and that the must be originals) You might wish to get an original copy for the oath ceremony. It seems that a lot of us are getting our invitations for 15 days after writing the exam.

Guys, did anyone with Citizenship Test in Jan 2014 at Scarborough heard back on Oath yet?

Yes Vinaypuri, I wrote the test on the 15th and I have received my letter and go for my Oath ceremony this Thursday 30th January. You should just keep checking the ecas for updates, it seems Scarborough is now processing persons who pass the exam much quicker and oath's are being scheduled much quicker than before. Give it about a week then check ecas and see if they've updated your file.
It took about 9 days after the test for my letter to arrive.
