Maple Eagle : yes, I think, I didn't do good in the exam. I thought that I have reached the minimum 15 correct answers but based on that note, maybe not Goodluck on your results. Hopefully, you'll get your oath soon!

I'm new here, but some of you may know me from the immigration.ca Victoria citizenship forum, where I'm simply known as Raoul. I've received a couple of media inquiries about the slowness of citizenship applications through the Victoria office. Cindy E. Harnett, a reporter at the Times Colonist, would like to speak to people who have been waiting for two years or more in Victoria. Please contact her asap at ceharnett@timescolonist.com or 250 380 5348. Thanks.

@Jeleni, hope you hear back soon. Did they allow to separate your application from your husband's? have they been invited for Oath?

ECAS says my citizenship test will be on the 22nd of April, Woohoo!My PR card runs out June 20 and I was supposed to travel to India in the summer as well, so I'll need to figure out the ramifications of all this activity happening in the same time frame. But I am happy to get to the test stage without anything other than a long delay.

Finally, the wait is over. It's been a good week for me.

There's still a bit of wait after the test to get an Oath considering the CIC roadshow comes to town randomly. Most of us have waited 4-6 months since test to get an Oath date (my test was in mid Oct, Oath is end of April).

I would advise to renew the PR card if you want to travel in the summer.
