December 2014 citizenship applicants!

Nope ! I made the calculation. If I keep that trajectory (previous waiting time minus 3 days for the next step) my timelime will be as follows:
I will wait 82 days (beginning last Saturday) to see Transfer: that puts me on Aug. 13th
I will wait 79 days thereafter to receive test invite: that puts me on Oct. 31st (happy holloween !)
Let's assume my test date is 3 weeks later: that puts me on Nov. 20
Then I will wait 76 days thereafter to receive oath invite: That puts me on Jan. 28
Let's assume my oath date is 3 weeks later: That puts me on Feb. 18th., 2016
Therefore that is 14 months, 2weeks and 6 days in tolal.

Now I remember you said your test would be in June ;D What did I tell you?

So I called CIC again this morning as per the advice of some of you guys (to call in the morning lol). And I didn't even have to lie that I couldn't access the eCAS. I just told him that I was calling to check the status of my application. And, unlike the agent from last week, he asked me for my info and accessed my file. Basically no new information. He just said that my file is still in Sydney and hasn't been transferred yet, but that it was complete with all the documents needed. I failed to ask him about the background checks. Do you think I should ? Anyway I am 46 days post AOR, and the record right now is 56 days. So I'll keep waiting and see if I break that record on Friday of next week. Anyway, I am calling them again on June 5th if I don't have a test date by then...
In the meantime, I wish good luck to some of you who are writing their test tomorrow !

A test date by June 5th? Humm. Remember you need to first be in process and then your file needs to get transferred. (That usually takes about a month) Best case scenario your application would get transferred on May 15th. Then you need to wait for at least two months if you don't get a RQ if the meantime. Meaning best case scenario: July 15th for the test date. So not sure how you came up with June 5th Cheesy If I were you I would not be calling before August 15th.

I said if I don't have a date by June 5th I would call them. According to my own estimations. And that is what I am going to do. Same for if I don't get an oath date by Aug. 5th I will call them again. That's my calling CIC planning.

I think someone might have accidentally done that. I have updated your information. Please check and confirm if everything looks okay.

Thanks Sam. I just wanted to make sure someone didn't accidentally deleted his or her row. Because I remember there's someone called NizNoz but this name is not in the spreadsheet after my name is changed back.

Did that person have same timeline as yours? I highly doubt it. If not, then i think its yours only.
If NizNoz is reading this post, he/she can add his/her timeline in the spreadsheet again.

Hi Mark,

My file was also transferred to Calgary on March 13. Looking at the Calgary, September, October and November spreadsheets, I doubt we will get test invites before August.

Cheers,
Abdul.

Thanks ! Your time is getting close. Bear in mind that I am at the bottom of the December pile. If my file is now in process, that means everybody else at the bottom of that December pile will also see in process in a few days. That happened with AOR as well. I was one of the very last persons to get AOR. Keep checking your ecas (including on weekends, mine got updated on a Saturday).

I told you so about 2 days ago ! Congrats !! I am at the bottom of the December pile at Sydney. If my file goes In process, then everybody else's has or will in just a matter of days, not weeks. If the December pile at Sydney had 10 000 files, mine is within the last 100 or 50 at the bottom.
Let's wait for File transfer so we can start reading the discover book !

No, I will start reading the book only after I see my file transfered to local office. Not before. I have just updated your info on the spreadsheet. Let's hope we get our files transferred within a week or 2 !
