Hello,
This is my timeline:
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 13, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 10, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on November 28, 2017.
  4. We sent you a notice on April 25, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on May 16, 2018 at 11:45 AM.
I did the test on May 16 in Scarborough and haven't received the invite to the oath ceremony yet. Is this normal? Usually how long it takes from the test date to getting to the oath ceremony?

It can take several months. There are some still waiting for oath invitations that had DM much earlier in the year.
