Hello,

Does any one know that they update e-cas before oath or after oath? I am waiting for oath at Vancouver office after 19th FEBRUARY 2015 test.

Thanks

People from November tests are still waiting for oath, be patients. E-Cas is so inconsistent, usually it gets updated months after tests or oath.

Did my TEST early December and still waiting for the oath letter. Vancouver sure is slow.

Have you called CIC to inquire? I am aware Vancouver is severely slow...

As wert pointed out, it seems like test date is not the decisive criteria for oath date (at least in Vancouver). It will take 7 to 12 months (in normal scenarios) from the date you submitted your application.

Yes, but what I wanted to point out is that the test date isn't the decisive criteria but rather when the application was submitted.

On the chart you posted the application date isn't mentioned. If you were to take that into consideration you would know what I mean.

But there are only a few exceptions and I wouldn't get my hopes up to high to be one of them.

I guess I'm still in that bracket since I'm only on almost my 9th month. Honestly, my application is completely routine. I've only been absent from Canada for 9 days for the last 6 years and 2 months; all of which were to the US and verified by CBSA ATIP. Scored perfect in the exam and has been a taxpayer ever since I got here. I guess I got on a "lazy" queue somehow.

Exactly like me. Western Canada offices are way slower than offices in East. I am hoping for April - May Oath.

I hope we see at least 1 Oath invite from our group soon, just to show they are at least doing something.

Got my ATIP report and apparently nothing has been done to it since my test results were recorded.

 

[jujuberanch]

Finally I got my test invitation for April 8. Can you folks give me some tips about the exam such as what is going to happen? How long will it be? What are the questions the officer is going to ask? and whatever you think is useful.

Thanks in advance.

I have a question for people that have done the test already:

In the invitation they ask us to bring along the same documents that we sent for the application of citizenship.

Do I need to also bring photocopies of passport, PR card, etc... or just the originals are ok ? also do I need to bring the residency calculator? copy of the payment receipt? I am guessing they will have a copy of these during my interview...

Thanks !!
