    Entry or Tourist visa for India?

    Thanks @skvaranasi . The BLS office that received your passport is Calgary or Surrey? What date did this happen and what does the status say in BLS tracking when the PP goes from CGI-Vancouver ("Processing at Consulate" ) to the BLS office? Did the status in the tracking change at all?

    Entry or Tourist visa for India?

    Looks like @skvaranasi has not responded. So hopefully he got his visa and is travelling :) Yes, I second this request for information from fellow forum members on how to skip delivery step and pickup directly from BLS office. @Sindhu1601 : What did you mean by "cc" in your message

    This is based on my experience: --Do they tell results immediately after exam or they send letters at home? Results evaluated while you wait for the interview. The interviewer tells you the result --Do we need to follow Discover Canada strictly? Yes follow the book. During our exam, the...

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    Probably not. The last we have heard is from a November 18th test taker who posted three days back. So some new oath invites are awaited as Calgary opens dates for March.

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    Great to hear the Calgary office finally sending out new oath invites. Congrats on the folks who got their invitation. That was a bit of a pause (for the holidays I suspect). Hopefully the Calgary office continues to keep it moving. Good luck everyone who is still waiting :)

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    Yes. I wonder the same. Maybe they are in the process of sending mails to off of the October-November test takes :D. Good luck to all Calgary applicants.

    How do we get the oath invitation? Via email or paper mail? Folks who already have the oath invitation, is there an update on ECAS in time before the oath or is there a lag on the ECAS update (happens after the oath)? Thanks

    The flurry of activity on everyone's ECAS prompted me to check my status. Lo and behold, a test invite for November 18th. The official invitation should come by regular post. Things are moving at a good pace. Good luck to everyone that is waiting on their invites. Its coming soon...

    There would have any a need to worry if they did not give you an alternate date or the alternate date were 3-4 months away. In your case, I do not think there is any need to worry as the date is postponed by just a week.

    Re: Citizenship qualification +1 Thanks sjakub. The question is best answered in the separate topic created. Nothing to do with June 2015 applicants.

    So after the initial burst of test invitations, the CIC has gone back to it original pace? I hope they pick up quickly and everyone gets their test invitations soon. Best luck.

    Most (if not all) applicants seem to have gone directly from "In Process" to "Test Date". Does it make sense to change to column from "LOT to Test" to "IP to Test". If yes, can the Owner or admin of the tracker sheet do it please. Thanks.

    Checked ECAS today morning and it said that my application was in process on August 31st, 2015. Things seem to be moving. Best of luck to all who are waiting for their update. I am unable to update the google tracker sheet. Something seems to be wrong or locked up. I will try again later today...
