Thanks Raj.

May I ask a question: how long will it take to RECEIVE the new passport?
Is there any emergency procedure due to a biz trip?

Called CIC today. The agent told me that security check is still in progress.

How did you manage to reach an agent? I've been trying for days now and all I get is the automated message saying due to high volume calls unable to be transferred to an agent! I even called at 8 am but no luck!

You need to keep calling again and again. It takes about 3-5 times of continuous calling and the I go in the waiting queue!

I guess I was just lucky. I called them two times. The second time was around 8-8:30 am and I was able to talk with an agent

I just came back from the test/interview. It was very easy and most questions are just common sense really. I thought I finished pretty fast but still lots of people were even faster! Those people are good Officer said she doesn't have any concerns and next step will be the ceremony. Didn't say the timeline though and I didn't ask...

They check your PR card and invitation letter to register you, and the interviewer checked passport, PR card plus another ID - I just used driver license. She didn't ask for anything else... Not IELTS report, not even the stamp translation that I offered - she just said there are numbers on the stamps Briefly asked my employment history, why I made a move, also ages of my kids for some reason All very straightforward.
