IRCC communication method
- Thread starter pk10
- Start date
From what I've read on this forum, test and oath invites are sent via snail mail, not email. ECAS will show the update as well.
just follow/check ECAS once a day then you are step ahead as they post everything there.
i believe also they communicate via turtle mail after AOR but they also update via ECAS same time, i wished atleast we get Alert email on any update on ecas like CRA even if they send u canada post mail. CRA will alert you they sent regular mail and copy of pdf letter in there right away you can print.
i check ecas right after i arrive home after work everyday for updates.

AOR is by email if you provided your application when you filled the application. Test invite is by regular mail. Oath is usually by regular mail but recently is being sent by email only as PDF attachment where you need to print it and take it with you.
Keep checking eCAS for all updates to be ahead of them.
Do they tell you online in ECAS the date of the test or only that it has been set up? If not, can you call the CIC number to find out, or they are just gonna tell you to wait for correspondence?
they post every step from A to Z on ecas. Relax dude! No need to call CIC because they will only tell you what you also see on Ecas because its handled not from their office but in your local town.
You are not replying on my question though. Does ECAS indicate the EXACT date on which the test is to be taken or merely the fact that an invitation for the test has been sent?
I got my test invite by email only and no postal mail. For some people it comes by email and for some by normal mail. So you can get either. Keep checking ecas also. But ecas is not 100% reliable. I got my test invite by email but no update in ecas as of yet
yes it tells you exact dates on what date test invitation was sent and on what date test will be..
