I thought it would take them only a couple of minutes to run FP or names through those databases ....
Anyway ....it is a waiting game.....with no end in sight :-[

I called CIC today and they said my file has been approved by the CJ on May 28th and that I am in the waiting list to get the oath invite letter. If I don't receive it by September I should contact them again.

Here is my timeline:

25-Sep-2013 - We received your application
10-Jan-2014 - We started processing your application
28-Apr-2014 - Citizenship test
28-May-2014 - File approved by CJ
TBD - Oath

Hi Jujuberanch,

By chance do you know how long it could take to be called for the test after transferring file to local office? What is the worst case scenario?

it's so frustrating !!!!
I think we are only less than 30% of Sep 2013 applicants who have remained . Most people have already written the or been invited to the oath ceremony!

I did my test today after submitting the RQ in end of April. The official said that I will need to meet with a judge in a couple of months and it should not be that long.

Anyone knows how long test to judge takes?

Thanks,
