A friend of mine got his test date at Scarborough scheduled for aug 31st. He applied in March 2012 from what I recall.
But the interesting bit is he came to know about this test date calling the CIC call center and he is yet to receive the actual letter. The agent tells him what to bring to the test and has no clue about the letter (it may or may not show up in the next 1 week). He can go for the test without the letter apparently.
heh... is this the process now (I am a future applicant)? You call CIC once/twice a month to check for your test/oath date? not inefficient at all....
