As far as I understand from the spreadsheets, applications in-process as of June 2015 are going for test in late September.

Thanks. In 2015 all these dates got skewed... Some body from dec 14 got to in process in 6 months... Some body in apr 15 got to in process in 1 month... Some body in may 15 got to in process in 2 months. For some the in process got to local office Xfer in few days, some few months, some never ( new process)...

So confusing to get a good gauge now...

Any ways, thanks for the response - test is about 3 - 4 mths from in process I suppose, for ottawa.

I received my 2nd test invitation for Sept 30th since I was not able to attend the first invitation on Aug. 7th. Even though I called CIC and sent a letter to Ottawa office to explain I cannot attend the test, in the 2nd notice, they said they did not receive any response and this is my final notice.

I will be able to attend this one. Should I still call them and clarify?

clarify for what? You already were given another test date, so clarifying that you sent them a letter is immaterial at this point.

Congratulations ! So happy for you . Thank you for your response . My test was Aug 14 and decision made Aug 17 . Nothing yet for oath . Does the election in October slow down oath invitation ?

Thx Sirine
