Added but some follow-up questions:

1.) Where are you applying from?
2.) Is it a single application or part of a family application package?
3.) How many Physical Presence days did you have?

Also, you won't actually see the notes change to say "We made a decision on Dec 10, 2018" or anything like that; generally, the Decision Made dates are just when you notice it changed to that status. The notes that get added next is the Oath Invitation so here's hoping it arrives quickly!
Applied from Toronto, ON
single application
1102 days of physical presence.
test pass 19/20
I have not seen that line yet, that this date we have made the decision. But overall status is decision made, and they said in interview the cr and bk check were also done. So from Nov to till today, it's like 35+ days. Not sure how long it will take to get the oath letter and oath.

Hello folks,

Those of you guys who have done the test and interview, do officers check all of our documents during interview? I have lost one of my original certificates but I have a copy of it. My test this week. Should I be worried?

Thank you.

Thanks man. I am not really worried about the exam itself. I am worried if the officer ask me to show my original degree certificate as I have submitted a copy with my citizenship application. I lost the original one :(

Did the officer want to see any of your original documents?

My PR card expires in the middle of March next year. If I haven't heard anything by early new year I'm going to need to apply for a new card as I travel to the U.S. for business a few times a year. Yay!! More paperwork and forms!! :eek:

Just renew your PR card now regardless. I've helped 3 friends do theirs in the past 6 months and they all took about 4 months.

Hello everyone,

Can anyone who has taken the exam and test in Scarborough IRCC office share their experience? Do they take interview after the test? What are the formalities before the Exam/test?

Thank you
