Hello,
I received the same kind of email today, and I am a Vancouver applicant too. I am confused why I got this email as it looks pretty unusual. Could you please let me know how your appointment went and what it was about and what was your next step? Thanks!

Yes, I received it today. Here is 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 November 30, 2018.
  3. We started processing your application on December 5, 2018.

And the email I got is:
"

And the pdf file attached includes an appointment for March 26th, and they have asked me to take my documents for verification. The second page is a general guidance for taking test, but they don't mention anywhere that I should do the test on that date.

Have any time ("When") and address ("Where") been mentioned in the “apportionment” section of 1st page?It should be provided in a large cell below “You have an appointment” of 1st page. Those are the test time and location. After test, everyone should wait for interview for documents verification. If you are not provided the "When" and "Where" information, please contact IRCC.
 
Hi, Is it a standard request for everyone applying for citizenship to have their finger prints done?, and if so, where in Vancouver is it advisable to have them taken? Any advise welcome, thankyou.

It’s not reuqest for everyone but it’s normal if Vancouver applicant receives FP request. Digital fingerprints (should be the one required by IRCC) could be applied from VPD at 2021 Cambie Street, Vancouver. Link FYI:
https://vancouver.ca/police/organization/records-checks-fingerprinting/fingerprinting-service.html

Note: VPD will directly sent the FP result to the applicant, not the IRCC, for citizenship purpose. The applicant must forward the result to IRCC by him/herself.
Other cities in great Vancouver, applicant may apply FP from RCMP and/or it’s agents.

Yes, it does have a date and location and even a seat number. Thanks a lot!
 
What's going on Vancouver??!! Almost 6 months since "In Process" and still no test invites. Going crazy here and getting worried.

Anybody heard anything from June/July 2018 applicants that have been IP since Sept 2018 getting test invites?
 
Vancouver seems to be moving finally. Got my Oath invitation a couple of days ago for March 29. Had my test on Feb 12. So only 3 weeks between the two!

So should be good news for everyone soon!
