I send the application Nov 1, 2014, received Nov 5
This is my first time writing on this forum though I have been following this thread for some time..

It looks like they are sending out test notices to November applicants as my husband and my friends who have applied in November received their test notices. I applied in September and wrote the test on May 25th but did not receive oath invitation yet.

Hello luckyme649,

I am also waiting for oath letter with no updates on the ECAS after "Decision Made". Can you please tell me when you requested ATIP report which option did you select for the question "*What type of information would you like to request?"

1. Notes in Electronic File
2. Physical Files

Also how long did it took for them to send you the report?
I requested the electronic file. It took 30 days, and received the report by email.

Went for test/interview this morning, passed the test, which was easy, but got fingerprint request during the interview. :mad:

I guess this will add anywhere from 2 months - 24 months delay to my file. Well, no rush, my PR card is still valid till 2017. Just don't want to go through another process of renewing it.

No, because they asked for fingerprints and gave a letter to get it done. The next step is to get the fingerprints and wait till they receive it. I wonder what will happen if my file gets delayed till election, are they going to send new request for taking test again? Because of change of government or they will just send an oath letter?

Were there lots of test takers this morning? I heard this office usually tell people to wait 1-3 mths for oaths. Is that still the case?

Hi All,
Passed the test today I got a score of 20/20, my wife got 19/20. The Interview with an officer was so pleasant & straight forward, he just checked our passports, ask about our jobs then he showed us our test scores, congratulated and told us that they will send the letter to notify us about the oath schedule in 1-3 months. I hope it is going to be soon. Cheers!

It's so interesting. I checked last night with no changes. But this morning saw your note and checked again. The test date of June 29 was added as well. Still no oath information.

I had those lines before taking the test only. I came to know my test date first by online only....
