wow, you're from Sep 2013! This thread was made by Sep 2014 applicants so I'm sorry to hear you're still waiting.. hopefully your process should catch up with the new applications now that backlog is being reduced. I know of people who applied many years ago too, had RQ and it was only this year that they got invited for test/oath. It puts things in perspective for new applicants (like me) who feel their process is slow because they have been waiting a few "months"...jeune said:
Just pass the test with 19/20. It is not easy as I thought before.
The officer said only two officers and 3 assistants are in Hamilton so there will be a longer waiting time (six weeks) until oath ceremony after test.
Anyway, test is a final step before the oath. There is no more paper work or check on our application.

WOW! 6 weeks and they call it long waiting time in Hamilton office? Scarborough office should learn that. I've been waiting for 3 months and nothing.

Also I ask why Mississauga is faster than Hamilton, the answer is:
Mississauga has a whole building and more officers, sometimes only two weeks before the ceremony after passing the test. But there is a longer waiting time before the test.
Also I was told that test is a final paperwork. After passing it, your ceremony invitation is placed in the queue and no any other legal check will be done on your application.
The officer only check my passport, landing paper and PR card and two IDs shown in your application, although I was asked to translate the non-English/French stamps in the passport.
The officer has our entry/exit record in a file and compare it with our passport without looking at my translations.

Check the cic website:

Next oath ceremony in Hamilton is July 7, so many people here will have a chance to go there, in my opinion.

Hi karthicbaboo. Looks like we will be invited for the next oath ceremony in Halifax (most likely in August)!karthicbaboo said:
Too bad we couldn't get in to the Canada Day ceremony at Pier 21...
Congrats! I would not be surprised if your oath is before mine... there are more oath dates in Hamilton than Windsor.ualiu said:
