My citizenship test and interview went well yesterday. I scored 100%. To prepare for the test, I read the guide (Dicover Canada) twice and did a lot of online practice tests.Two other members of my family took the test as well and passed (100% and 90%).

After the test, we had a 5-10 min meeting with two immigration officers. One of the officers was checking our papers (mainly passports, PR cards and Landing documents) while the other one was observing. One of us did not have his PR card and heath card but apparently this wasn't an issue. He lost his wallet with the PR and health cards in it 2 week ago. The officer just asked if a police report was filed for the lost PR card and the answer was "not yet". She also asked some simple questions, like who is my employer and why I decided to settle in Winnipeg. Our test results were not communicated to us until the officer finished checking our documents and talking to us.

Then she said we should expect the oath ceremony sometime in early fall and that we could now go home and start celebrating. She was very nice.
My ECAS show "Decision Made" today for citizenship application. Interestingly, on top of citizenship - decision made line there is another line showing "COMPLETED" for PR application. This top line wasn't there before ....

Hope oath letter is coming soon ...

An update:
Having sat my test on 20 May, I got the invite for my ceremony oath yesterday (13 July) - the ceremony is on 22 July. Honestly, a bit surprised they just give you one week's notice!

So, from test to oath was about 3 months for me, which is exactly what they said it would be. Nice that it's on the shorter end of the 3-5 months though.

Good luck to everyone waiting - take solace in the fact that Winnipeg processes seems to be moving! Your turn soon! ;D
