Get there earlier than I did! I was one of the last in the room and seemed like most people arrived earlier than the specified time to get a seat and get sorted. Sit at the front of the room so you can give your answers back quicker if you finish early, without having to walk from the back of...

Absolutely everything you need to bring is fully listed in your test invitation letter. Read that and good luck.

Had my test today. Was very easy. The practice quizzes found online really helped. 19 out of 20. I had a lot of travel history but the officer to her credit decided it would take too long to check every single stamp and I didn't have all the travel tickets anymore. So she asked me to attest that...

Ask your MP to send a case specific enquiry. There is a separate department at IRCC that liaises with MP's and it definitely speeds things up.

My test is the same date and time, same place! So happy. 8:16am for me....coffee afterwards to compare notes?

Confirmed! Applied Aug 22nd 2018 and my test date is Oct 31st 2019. Email received :)

Seems like I have now been scheduled for a test on Oct 31st. Heard from my MP, awaiting more details. Haven't received an email with the info yet but that's coming apparently.

Thanks!! I have, yes. Around 4 months ago they said all looked good on the application and was just waiting for a test date. I then got tired of waiting a few weeks ago and contacted my MP. They launched a deeper enquiry which apparently takes 10 business days to respond to. It has now been 15...

Hi All. I'm STILL waiting to receive a test date and this is my timeline: Sent Aug 22nd 2018 Acknowledgement received November 10th 2018 Fingerprint request Dec 6th 2018 Nothing since then. Applied from Toronto so am going through the dreaded Mississauga office. I find it so odd that where you...

If you call the doctor who completed the medical and provide your details, they can probably provide this to you. The visa office misplace documents occasionally.

I totally understand. When I was going through the process, I would come on here and unleash hell, complaining about the system and how it can be improved etc. It really made me feel better so I encourage you to keep doing it!! However the truth is, applications move much more quickly now then...

Supply and demand my friend! And there is certainly demand :) But you're probably right.

Come on buddy...don't tiptoe around them! Do you honestly think you're going to get refused for asking for an update? Stop thinking about it and do it! I'm not trying to be rude, just supportive that sending an email is the correct thing to do. I remember during my process that I emailed...

There are often people asking how long it took other people to receive their COPR in certain geographies. We could add 3 columns. 1. Country of application. 2. City. 3. Number of days between DM and COPR arrival. This won't be perfect but it could give an idea, or else we carry on as we are.

Updated both above ^

May I wholeheartedly recommend Creemore Springs if you are beer drinker! Best beer in Canada IMO. They don't use preservatives or pasteurize afterwards so it's seriously nice.

Hey there. Just a bit of reassurance, CIC always say they need up to 4 months to review incoming correspondence. That's not the case. I was asked to send a Canadian police certificate in, which they said would take up to 4 months to review. 10 days after they received it, I had a COPR in my hand...

Congratulations and welcome to Toronto! It's a great city and seems like your entry went seamlessly albeit with a bit of a wait. Interesting to hear that you can apply for your SIN at the airport. I did not know that and wish I knew when I landed recently. Would have saved a trip to City...

Unique case! Although I know have others have been asked too, it isn't a requirement of the standard application. They email you if you are required to submit one. My name matched a known criminal so I was asked to send one in which is a very straightforward process.

Yes, I have. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
