You're from the maritimes, I'd say you might get a test date around the 8 month mark.

Yup, seriously, last year I've called the call centre to check when to expect the test as it was close to 2 years since I've applied, couple of months later I've got an rq based on the fact that at some point I've been self-employed and traveled abroad once since I moved to Canada, now I'm waiting for the RQ to be reviewed, nothing so far, been told not to call them till 36 months pass.

Hello Flocan:

First, you have to call CIC call center and confirm whether your file has reached your local office.

Your file was transferred on June 23rd, which means your file is in transit to local office, not reached.

Sometimes transit can take 3 to 6 weeks depends on the local office. Sometimes your local office may take their own time to open the boxes and scan the documents to note that it has arrived.

Toronto local offices are the fastest in the country. I believe your local office is Fredericton which is one of the slowest in the country.

First check whether your local office has received your file or still is in transit.

Get the local office received date, not the transfer date from sydney.
:-X
