Hello,

My ecas is still not updated with test date line. Its been over 7 days since we received the email with the PDF.
Anyone has similar experience? Please do let me know. *** Update: I wrote to IRCC with the details to check if this was fraudulent. ***

Regards,
Rick

I am on the same boat. It seems GTA is moving pretty slow for July applicants. I felt like we are not going to see a wave of Test Invite until around May based on I have found for earlier months applicants.

An update in my case: I submitted my PR card renewal application about one month ago and happily surprised that I have received my new PR card last week. For those who are hesitating about renewing your PR card, the cic website says it ONLY takes about 48 days to process it now. Hopefully, it helps you make your decision.

Hey, how long did it take to receive your new PR card AFTER it was mailed out?

It's about one month. Pretty fast. My case is very simple, I guess. I only have 2 trips outside of Canada.

You mean it took 1 month for the card to reach you AFTER it was mailed out via Canada Post ??!!

The renewal process is taking 1 month, agreed, but what about the time AFTER it is mailed out to the time it reaches you?

Yes, I am happily surprised as well. It is about one month AFTER it is mailed out to the time it reaches me. It mailed it out on Jan. 22, 2019 and the card was mailed out to me on Feb. 18 according to ECAS. Then, I received it after about 4 days. Pretty fast!

My ECAS and my son's ECAS changed today. Line 5 was added to mine and line 4 was added on my son's.

Our oath ceremony will be held at Edmonton Garrison Officers Mess. I thought that we'll be doing the oath at Canada place but no. I don't know if this is a special oath since it will be in a CFB. I'll let you know guys!

Anyway, to all those who are still waiting for test invite or oath ceremony, hang in there! It will soon come! Good luck everyone.

Anyone in GTA got their test invites yet? or does it seem that looking at past cadence of IRCC / CIC, we can only expect test invites in May / June 2019?

 

[sushilsrk]

Can anyone please tell me the email ID from which we receive AOR?
