Hello there. Here is my "journey" through the Scarborough Office.
I applied on Nov 2014 (Second Application).
Got RQed in February, 2015.
File transferred in April.
Test in June. Passed 20/20
Test Jun 16th, 2015
Decision made June 21, 2015
Waiting for Oath.
I got an Orange Test Invitation Letter - Everyone that day had the same colour. (Don't know if it means anything).
Test was easy...

Let's wait...

Thanks everyone.

I dont know what the heck they are doing with the March 10 test takers...I am sure a bunch of files are with some one who is just not fast enough and needs to be spanked...or may be one case is delaying that bunch...I dont know...I am just guessing....damn its frustrating....

hi group.

I had my test in Scarborough on June 23.passed the test 19/20
interview was very simple.she checked all the passport stamps that was related to my application.
at the end she said everything is ok and I will receive the oath letter in 2-3 month or less.
when I insist she said it should be in Aug.
the interesting part is that most of the people did the exam with me were 2012 applicants with RQ.

this is my timeline.

RQ: june 2012 responded july 2012
assigned to officer: Nov 2014
back ground check update start : March 20/2015 completed : end of April
Transfered back to Scarborough from St clair: end of April
Test : June 23
Oath: waiting

total time: 41 month

Hi ,
I did my test in Scarborough on June 23...
...The interesting part is that we were around 20 people at exam date and almost half from 2012 application with RQ

What was the color of your test invite letter?

You got through RQ real fast compare to drakef2000 post #914, but again you said it was your second application. So I am not sure.
drakef2000 post mentions that they were all RQed people at the test and you say that you all had the same orange color letter!

It seems to me that they might be cleaning up their old (maybe RQed) cases. And that might be one of the reasons for March slowdown.

Some suggestions about the color code: (guys correct me if needed)
Pink = Oath invitation
Yellow = Normal test invites
Blue = Interview only Invites (for 55 years old and above)
Orange = RQ ones

Question, all invites (test & oath) will be via snail mail right?

I would think so. Physical Mail (paper form) seems to be the official way.

Thanks

Mine was Orange as well but everyone else
Had orange as well. It was not busy at all maybe
20 people and lots of seats available .
I think they can book more people for test

Once the ECAS shows the ‘Decision Made’, what comes first, the update of the ECAS to show the OATH details or the Oath letter? Roughly, what is the time frame from Decision Made to receiving Oath Letter by mail. Thanks.

My invitation to my test was Orange. Only a handful of people and at a very odd time. On a Tuesday at 11:45 am. The interview was super simple. It was clear that the officer had his mind made up and just wanted to go through this formality. He was extremely pleasant though.

Hi bestfriendever.
I was there at 11:45 on Tuesday as well
Did you have RQ as well?
Let me update about your oath date
Thanks
