hi everyone
i have a quick question, i sent my application Dec 2018, still havenot hear anything, no test sceduled, i check the cic website, here are the info, please need advise. thanks

Citizenship
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 19, 2018.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on February 23, 2019.
  3. We started processing your application on March 13, 2019.
did u guy reciev the invitation to take the test by mail or email? should i keep waiting or call cic? who should i contact,?
If you have provided an e-mail to CIC and also received your AOR by e-mail, you will get the test invite from CIC. You should also check ecas regularly just in case as this will tell you when you have been issued a test invite.

Also, you should not be panicking yet as it has not been more than 12 months since you applied. Once the 12 month mark passes, you can contact CIC to inquire about your application.

That is because some offices are busier than others depending on where your application is being processed. You can check out other people in your region's timeline on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UVvKb4Sem00uOCyB2kTeM2_AofgT_8b4uTJyBh9pXdg/edit#gid=566701841

E-cas is the online tool to check the status of your application - the text you copied in your first post is from that. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

Today I received my notice to appear for oath on Nov 8th in Ottawa! I can't believe this journey is coming to an end. Good luck to all those waiting on the last few steps and thank you to everyone in this forum.
