Hi guys,

Today, I passed my test and interview at Scarborough. The test section was super easy (I got 20/20). The interview section was also very smooth and friendly. But, the most surprising part was when the officer gave me the oath invitation letter right away after the interview. Below, you could have a look at my timeline.

Application sent: February 19th, 2014.
Application received: February 24th.
Under process: April 4th.
AOR & booklet: May 27th.
Received line disappeared: July 20th.
Test & interview: November 4th.
Oath: November 17th.

Good luck ...

Congratulations PCanada! Did you notice if they were giving the oath date to everyone, or just to some? Also, was your test invitation printed on blue or yellow paper? Could you also let me know if your ECAS is updated to show your oath ceremony? Thanks for sharing this information and congratulations again. Bikar

Thank you Bikar ... No, because I was the first person finishing both sections... My test invitation letter was blue... ECAS is not yet updated, but I let you know when it is!

Congratulations! Could you let me know how long after the test you received your oath letter? Does ECAS show it? Also, was your test invitation printed on blue or yellow paper?

Thanks and congratulations again, Bikar

Thanks Bikar. I got the oath letter today (Nov 10) and they sent it on the 6th, so about 2 weeks after the test (i was told to wait 1-3 months after my interview).

Ecas shows it today, probably updated over the weekend as I didnt see it on friday. My test invitation letter was on a yellow paper. Is there a significance?

Thanks Spellbinder for this information. I think they use blue for routine and yellow for non-routine applications. Since you had to do finger prints, yours was non-routine and that is probably why you received your test invitation on yellow paper.

Congratulations again and take care. Bikar

Yes, I applied on Jan 27th. Started processing in March and file was transferred to local office in August. Still waiting for the test invite. My local office is Kitchener. Meanwhile, I have seen applicants from May 2014 have already received their test invites from the same office. A little frustrating..

Doesn't mean much for Kitchener
My wife passed the test/interview Aug 29th, no oath invite yet after almost 2 months
So doing the test early != earlier oath, even though one'd think it's logical

No updates for February applicants?
We are still waiting for the oath. Passed our test on August 11th.

Happy Friday everyone!
