Can you please guide me where this is mentioned? It didn't state so on the oath email.
With my snail mail oath was a sheet clearly from the specific office with a map. Just observed it says on the back seating is limited and they can’t guarantee a spot for guests (as in any!) and for emergency evacuations reasons standing isn’t permitted!

My Test centre is in Mississauga. The test time is at 7:30 AM. Is this okay or is this an error on IRCC side because 7:30 AM seems too early. Any thoughts?

Seems a little early, what date? I checked upcoming ceremonies and the Mississauga morning ones are 9:45am. However someone upthread said they’re trying to get through a number so perhaps they’re doing an early one too?

I mean IRCC could host mine at 3am and I’d turn up :) Maybe give them a call too?

Hi all, just a quick update. I've received an invitation by email today (Aug 27) to take the test on Sep 24 in Charlottetown, PEI. :) I didn't see any update on ecas, though.
Hi there....I noticed you were in the Charlottetown area also. I was seeing if you had any additional updates since your test? My application is from Nov. 2018, test passed on Aug 29 & oath ready since first week of September....still waiting on oath invite though.
Thanks!!

Hey Folks,
So i lost my 2 Indian passports, one was active and the other one expired along with the Canadian PR Card. I reported to Toronto Police and have an officers synopsis stating that, no GO report. I reported the lost documents to the police couple of days back and reapplied for a new PR card on 24th Jan 2020 requesting based on the police report.
I have gotten a new Indian Passport but i dont have a valid PR card at the moment in my hands, the current processing time states 27 days,i have a citizenship test/interview date of 19th feb 2020 assigned to me, i got the email notification the same night(24th Jan, after i submitted my application for PR card) that i re-submitted my PR card as it was lost.

Questions;
1. What should i do about this test date as i wont have a PR card to show to the officer? I dont anticipate a card in hand before the 19th Feb 2020 test date?
2. What should i do about the passport situation?, can i bring in photocopies of the pages?, i think i might have more than 80-90% of the stamps!, i did authorize them to collect from the CBSA to collect information. Can i do anything in conjunction to make the stamp verification easier?
3. Should i inform by post to the actual address that i have lost them and that i only have a passport and then resend with the PR card photocopy once i have received the new card?

I am in a dilemma at the moment and would help your advice or past experience, specially if people have been through a similar situation.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

I passed my test in August & my son’s still shows in process. The call centre said that was normal and would remain like that until the oath ceremony.
This may be correct for minors, but after an adult has passed Test and Interview the status should change to "Decision Made". Oath will then follow. If you were told all was okay at the Interview and the status has still not changed for an adult you may wish to follow up with IRCC especially if now over a year (as I assume from this being Jan 2019 thread).

You need to take any PR cards you have to the ceremony. If you don't have any but were issued one as you state, I would strongly suggest taking the police paperwork. You should also note that you are, I believe, required to report lost PR cards to IRCC. It sounds like you have reported it as lost, if you got some paperwork take that. I would also contact IRCC to see if you should take anything in lieu of it Feb 19th.

For your lost passport that is unfortunate but if you have the photocopies take them in case they ask, that's much better than many people whom would not have any stamps in case of lost passport. Again take paperwork showing that it was reported as lost/stolen.

You can't contact IRCC by post. Only by phone or webform. In your situation I definitely think a call is warranted.

got my test invite today...Exam is next Monday
Congratulations, that is very short notice. Get studying and good luck!

Yes it is fine. I had the test at 730 am too. They actually do both oath and tests so test happens early in the morning followed by oath.
