Hi there, just wanted to share my Timeline:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 17, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 5, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on December 7, 2018.
4. We sent you a notice on February 11, 2019 to appear and write the citizenship test on February 28, 2019 at 4:00 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.
5. We sent you a notice on March 4, 2019 to appear and write the citizenship test on March 22, 2019 at 10:20 AM. 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.
6. We sent you a notice on May 7, 2019 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on May 29, 2019 at 9:30 AM. The notice you will receive 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.

As you can see, I had to reschedule the initial test date and got another date pretty quick. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the oath ceremony either due to some family emergency, which I have informed them about. I am still waiting for another date for the oath, will keep you updated!

Which office are you with?

I had my test in the Scarborough office and was supposed to take oath in the Chinese Cultural Centre in Scarborough as well. Received all correspondence by mail even though primary contact was email.

Update:
Received test invite for both (wife and myself).
Test Date: 19th July.

Admin, can you please update the tracker?

My wife and I completed the Citizenship test process yesterday at Kelowna. Nothing really different / new beyond what people have already written.
Few pointers:
-> Although I got the perfect score, I definitely think the test was more challenging than the "online questionnaire". Read the book folks!
-> I didnt take Kelowna's traffic in to account. I thought I would have 1 hour buffer time. But traffic across the bridge allowed me to reach barely 10 minutes to spare.
-> The test conductor/interviewer was super nice and amicable. She called us both for the "interview" together - and were out in 5-10 minutes.

Admin, can you please update the tracker?

Hello to all September 2018 applicants, please share your timeline here.


Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Applied in September 2018 also. Have ceremony end of August. Looks like it is true that it takes the full year.
