Nothing on the ECAS that says they have completed FP. just updated with Test invite Date few weeks later. However when i called CIC they mentioned that "they have received the Results from RCMP, and All Good"

thank you!

Hubby got test invitation today, Feb 5, 2019.
Test date March 13, 2019!

Here’s a question...Letter states if under 18 or over 55 when you signed the document you don’t need to prove English proficiency or demonstrate knowledge of Canada. Does this mean he won’t have to write a test?

Here’s another....it says to bring originals of documents sent with the application. Umm, we sent originals in the application, so won’t they have those?

I don't think you were supposed to send anything original. Which original documents did you send? Btw, when you any documents to them, it becomes their's to keep as part of your application. Whatever you gave them, you are not getting it back.

The only original we are supposed to send them is the Police Clearance Certificate and they won't ask it again when you go for the test because its not in that check list

OP seems to have sent other original documents as well. They would be able to clarify more. I agree with you on PCC though.

Hello All,

Does anyone happen to know where applications for people in BC are processed? Is it the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton? Like others have noted, it seems that there has been a flurry of Edmonton/Calgary applications moving forward and I don't know what areas are served by which office. Is there a list somewhere?

Thanks!

I believe it is Vancouver. I'm in Victoria and my local IRCC is in Vancouver.

A few updates to my application
Application status : In Progress.
Change of address from Kamloops to Vancouver.

----------

Received AOR : 14th Dec. (for both my wife as well as myself.)

However, I noticed that the mailing address is the old address (address used for PR - back from India). So, I'll have to change it.

The test was definitely worded and designed differently than I expected. Instead of reading the study guide I opted for listening to the audio version available on the same link that the study guy PDF is. I also practiced online via the following:
http://www.citizenshipcounts.ca/quiz

http://www.v-soul.com/onlinetest/

About the test itself I was surprised that there were a few questions that asked you to answer true or false and during my studies I didn’t encounter any like that.

I didn’t expect to get 19/20 right. I skipped 7 questions on the first round answering them. Then I just went back and checked everything. I was done within. 17 minutes.

Once outside I didn’t have to wait a whole 5 minutes. An officer called me to the interview room and congratulated me and told me o had passed and told my score and I was like! NO WAY! She chuckled. She just asked me for my passports and my PR card. Didn’t look at any of my diplomas they were my proof of English. She did ask me about an unreported exit of Canada I had done via land and had failed to include in the calculator. I said it had slipped my mind and she asked how long I was away and I said I was just gone for 24 hours. She said she had no concerns about my file and said that I should hear about my ceremony invite within 2 months.


Hope that helps.
