I'll advise you call CIC and explain the situation and cite your wife's situation. CIC seems erratic and random on how they decide who is next for processing.

Good luck.

We were told 2 months during interview.
4 months is the extreme IMO.

Guys,

What did you bring for the interview?

Do I actually need to bring:

- Payment receipt (Don't have it anymore, the original was sent with my application)
- Print out of the On-line Physical Presence Calculator
- Police certificate(s) (original were sent as well)

Thanks!

Finally eCAS is updated with the oath invite exactly 2 months after the status is changed to Decision Made. Oath is scheduled for 24th September exactly 9 calendar months since I started my application process (mailed the application on 24th December).

They will provide a pencil to mark the answers. Additionally, they will advise on how to mark the answers and will give you time to understand.

On exam day when you go into the exam room the instructor will explain the entire process. A Pencil will be provided on your seat, you can use that to answer, you will be given a scantron sheet on which you need to darken the correct answer with the pencil.

Hey.. no need to worry. If the transfer line has disappeared, it sort of indicates that your file is in line for the test dates. That is what most of us in the forum have experienced. So just hang in there for some more time... Maybe in 2-3 weeks you will get the test dates. All the best.

Abemats2000, it's not true. We have all lost this line and it doesn't mean that the test is coming. It was just a bug after a system update.

I'm waiting also. The only thing we can do is to wait and maybe ask for an ATIP to know the status of our application.

That not true guys according to the call center this is a good sign that the file is progressing and they are working on it . After my LOT disappeared 6 weeks after I got the invitation for the test .
