Hi, I called the toll free number.
Hi , I found out this # 1-888-242-2100 from the CIC website and have been trying numerous times but its the taped voice instructions guiding to go to various menus . How can I talk to the agent ? Is there some other number to dial on ?

Spoke to an agent today at the call centre...

She said that all my background checks were done and now we are just waiting for them to issue a test invite, she said that Winnipeg has to send out a letter to my jurisdiction which is Thompson in order for them to issue the test invite...

They said to call back at the end of may if I havn't heard anything yet...

Hello all! Just thought I would add my timeline

Applied February 2nd
Application mailed back to me due to fee insufficiency
Applied again February 23rd 2014
Started processing April 2014
Discover Canada Book sent April 2014
Received test invite February 17th 2015

Anyone have a test advice? Also anyone know how long it takes to take the oath after you pass?
Thanks and good luck to those still waiting on the invite!
