The pamphlet that I received from CIC during interview does state about getting oath letter within 2-3 months.
Yes that's because they changed the timeline for those who did the test April and later. Vancouver office is getting really fast almost the same as the East Coast.

So, you know someone who took test before April 2015 was given pamphlet mentioning 3-5 months?

I took my exam on March 24th and my pamphlet says 2-3 months. I do remember the agent who administered the test said 3-5 months and the agent who interviewed me said 2-4 months. Basically, it seems like those who took their tests in mid march are receiving oath invites, which would put the wait time for the letter at around 2 months.

I believe it said 3-5 months. I'm waiting for Oath as well - the letter could come anytime now given that I wrote the test on March 11th.

Just checked mail and there it was - got my Oath Letter (and the family too) for Oath Ceremony on May 29th Friday at 10am! Yahoo!
Congrats Xperiate on receiving your oath letter! You can breathe easy from now on!

I believe you. My test was in March and the pamphlet that I got said 3-5 months and the officer at the interview told me 2 months - which is EXACTLY the time it took for me.

In February test, they said 3 to 5 months. I am sure you will get your oath soon.

Have you called the call centre, any word from them?

Online it shows my application in process as of April 1st but nothing about it being transferred to a local office. I think this seems long compared to some other timelines I've seen. Advice?

Is there a spreadsheet for the Vancouver applicants? I'm only waiting for two documents, and then I'm able to send the application.
