I sent my application on Oct 2013, did my test on nov 5th, 2014, it's been 4 months and haven't received anything about the ceremony yet! Why it takes so long in Surrey office
 
My test invitation letter was sent by Vancouver office, idk the reason , but my background check will expire on March 15th, is that mean like I need to wait even longer???
 
i am, wrote my test on nov/5 was informed that i passed but nothing yet

so may i know who was the officer checking your documents, etc. Mine is the one who r sitting on the left side just besides the window
 
same here, mine was the one on the extreme left. I was informed that i passed the test, and that he saw no problems with my file and would be advancing it further for the ceremony. I have noticed that some people on here that wrote the test much later have already been scheduled for oath ceremonies already.
 
Here is my timeline:

seems like we r not in the same test time, but my officer is the guy who speak very quite and couldn't hear his voice very clearly. But our test time all end in :19......

I called the call center many times, the agent actually told me that my case was approved on Dec 23rd, if there's a date available, i will be scheduled, but it doesn't make sense that seems like tons of ppl r lining front of me?
 
i cant remember much about my officer, except he mentioned that he normally works out of vancouver and he was only there because surrey is so short staffed. I had called the call center twice first guy told me nothing except to check the status on line, and the second guy told me that i haven't been scheduled for one yet so again nothing i guess.

i think our officers r the same, cuz my test invitation letter not sent by surrey office...but anyways, hope we can get the invitation for ceremony soon, it takes too long
 
yea for sure thanks a lot....i am getting fed up of the waiting, my drivers license expires at the end of the month, i was hoping to get edl if i get the ceremony before that but now it seems unlikely
 
me too,
I wrote the test on Nov. 27 2014
nothing yet !!
