lawyerlady, I told you your test will be on June 15 :D

Coolguysam, I want your advice on something. As you can see my file hasn't even been transferred. So I am thinking of booking for my summer vacation just for the month of July 1- 31. With your experience and with reference to Scarborough office info on both excel sheets (Nov and Dec), do you think I will get my test in July? I have my 20th school reunion on the 21st of July. I don't want to miss it :( at the same time I don't wanna call CIC cause they might postpone it till God knows when. I would like to know your view on the matter please.

Comparing data from November and December applicants(mostly from November Spreadsheet), the test date can be anywhere around 20 days to 3 months approximately after the file has been transferred to your local office
.
Its a crucial time

Lets say for example:if the file transfers tomorrow then your test could be anywhere before 20th August.

All we can do is wait and lets pray together for everyone's success and fast processing of their application.
Hopefully, your file would be transferred soon. Cheers :)

Please do confirm with CIC as well about address update after 5 business days. Make sure you confirm with them your current residential address and mailing address to ensure if everything is correct and updated.

You can call cic @ 1-888-242-2100

Thanks Canv,

It's just that after my thorough research I concluded that once the file is transferred (Scarborough) it takes a minimum of 70 days for test date. So if my file was transferred next week lets say, I won't take the test before 3rd of August. I am relying on November xcel sheet, the December one doesn't have many Scarborough applicants. Would love to hear you point especially if you know applicants with less than 70 days wait from transfer to test in Scarborough.
Throwing magic dust towards you.
Luna
I would focus more on when your application was received at Sydney, not when it was transferred to local office.

Great! Make sure you read the "Discover Canada" book multiple times. Don't fully rely on online tests.

Congratulations! Just curious to know how long it took to process your Australian citizenship application. I know I can't compare it with Canada. ;D
