Hi Guys, On April 30 we took the oath and became citizens. Our details are as follows: * Application for family of three * Surrey office * Application received by CIC: Aug 19 2013 * Started processing: Oct 24 2013 * No RQ required * Test Invitation Letter: Nov 10 2014 * Test & Interview Date...

Hooray! I'm at work now and my wife (who is off today) phoned me to tell that the postman has just dropped the oath invitation letters. I've been checking my eCAS everyday and the last time I checked was about ten minutes ago with nothing on the oath. Seems like the "snail mail" was quicker than...

I didn't learn 'from the test itself', it's the other way around; having lived here for more than 4 years and interested in Canadian geography, history and culture, I already had some info which formed most of the answers to the test questions. The only thing that surprised me was the fact that...

We passed the test on December 10 and we're still waiting for the Oath letter. Cheers

I know someone who wrote the test early in Nov 2014 got his oath letter before Xmas and will be taking the oath next week. So his oath timeline from test date to oath date is about 2 months. I wrote the test on Dec 10 2014 and currently waiting for the oath letter. Cheers, Kubik

Hi Guys, Yesterday me and wife wrote the test & had the interview at Surrey CIC office. All went well, we were told that our application is approved and we should be receiving oath invitation within 3 to 6 months. I did 20/20 and wife did 19/20 correct answers. Now I understand why (and I repeat...

Congratz u4g5, I hope you get oath invite soon. Me & wifey will take the test on Dec 10th, 8:19AM Scary precision eh? I wonder if we're not admitted arriving at 8:18 or 8:20 :o Fingers crossed, knees shaking, counting days.

Hi Suresure, If my memory serves well your file was in Surrey office is that right? Our file is in Surrey and it has been 15 months since we submitted our application. Just last week we received our test invitation letter for December 10. If your timeline is similar to ours (like your...

Thanks so much Sept-30

Thanks Jeleni. I believe you would receive test invite soon as Surrey office seems to have accelerated the pace. Good Luck

Hi Guys, I wrote under this thread until I got the information that my local office is Surrey. Firstly, thank you all for sharing information on these forums. Surrey was slow compared to Vancouver (It's been 15 months since we applied) but at last I got eCAS update today saying that they mailed...

Morning Guys, Just checked my eCAS status and it says they sent a letter for the citizenship test on Nov 10 and the test date is Dec 10. Hurraaayy, after 15 months, most of which passed watching and envying applicants at other offices finalizing their processes so fast, at last we are moving...

Did you apply in December 2013 or will be applying in December 2014? It seems like the newer applications are moving faster, even at Surrey office. A bit unfair but older applications are moving slower. I applied 14 months ago and still waiting for the test date. Vancouver is completely...

Congrats tnangers, I'm checking eCAS several times every day, submitted application in Aug 2013 and still waiting for the test letter. At last Surrey seems to have released the brake pedal :)

My wife was born in Azerbaijan, one of the former Soviet republics, and was born during the Soviet era, hence she was born in USSR just like OrangeCup. We put Azerbaijan as her country of birth and her citizenship application was accepted and getting closer to finalizing nowadays. So, I also...

Contrats jckdry. Thank God, we see some progress at last. If I'm not wrong your file was in process since Aug 2013. Mine is since Oct 2013 and I hope we will receive the test letter in a couple of months from now. Way to go.

Nope! It's been 13 months since I applied (Family of three) and still awaiting test date >:(

Hi suresure, if I remember correctly from the other thread, your file was in Surrey, just like mine. Surrey office is slow as molasses, not the whole West. Checking the spreadsheet (See below link) of application timelines posted on these forums and looking at the applications filed from...

Hi Basharar, I already commented on your question regarding CSIS clearance under the other topic that you opened. Also I don't think that you should be concerned about your file being stuck due to your ethnical background. Otherwise this could have been a contradiction to Canada's equality &...

Hi Basharar, I confirm the same; I also got my ATIP report a week ago and RCMP & FOSS clearances are good till Feb 2015 while CSIS clearance field in the report is blank. I also heard that they don't show that part on ATIP report due to security reasons. We are also awaiting test date since...
