Hello everyone

Talked to two of my friends that did the test in March 10 and March 26, they are still waiting for oath invitation letter.
It looks like Vancouver office test process is faster than oath ceremony ;D.
Hopefully all applicants who did their test during March and April get oath letter for July(or July first :))

Someone in the forum reported that someone who took test on 4th April has got oath invite for 26th June 2015.
Another person gave test on 30th March and his/her oath is on 1st July 2015

We have similar timeline. Please see my signature. Also I have same situation with e-cas like you. I have application received, acknowledgement line and started processing line. The file transfer line was there few days ago and is no longer there. I never got the e-cas updated with test invite and currently my status says "In Process". Same e-cas situation is with our fellow forum members: yyzhuang and yukon.
I have read somewhere in this forum that for some people same situation like above happened to them and they never got ecas update for test and oath and they only came to know about it when they received mail by canada post. After their oath: "In Process" just directly changed to "Complete"
Like you guys, the "transferred to Vancouver office" line in my eCAS disappeared a week or two ago and never showed up again. My eCAS status is also "In Process", however, in my case, the eCAS was updated with test invite information including test date even before I received the actual letter by mail. Looks like the eCAS updating is not consistent for all the applicants.

Looks like they are clearing the backlog first to achieve shorter processing times for future reference.
Vancouver is the fastest to test but slowest to send out oaths !! :(

I took the test on April 2 2015, and still waiting for oath. I checked e-Client . It displayed "Decision Made" last week, but I still never receive any mail. I applied with my wife and my child, they still are "In Process". I don't know why?

Congrats on the change of status to "Decision Made"! Don't worry about the "In Process" status for your wife and child, as it is evident from other threads in this forum that the eCAS updates are not always consistent. Some have received Oath Letter while eCAS showed "In Process", whereas for some others, the status changed to "Decision Made" prior to oath invite. For some people, strangely, the eCAS status changed from "In Process" to "Decision Made" and then back to "In Progress". However, I believe most of them have received their oath invites without any issue. Being a family application, I believe all three of you will get citizenship in the same oath ceremony.

Considering that "annoying" got his oath after giving test on 4th May, I think the oath's are being given out as per date of application & not date of test.

I don't think.

However there is an exception: if the applicant has applied long time ago then cic might schedule the oath early which seems to be the case with "annoying001"

As far as I know and researching info in this forum, the oath is scheduled according to when the test was done.
