Kitchener local office after Bill C6

[vsoftco]

I got an invite today for Test at Kitchener location.
The problem is i am flying during those days and i will land at Toronto Pearson airport at 6:30 am and my Test is at 9:30 am.
I am thinking if my flight is delayed and i am not able to reach on time what can happen ? If i say reach around 10-10:30 am, will they accept me ?

And If i reschedule, how much time it takes to get next appointment for Test ?

A good idea is to check a flight tracker for the last flights with your flight number, so you can make an idea at least of the "chance of delay". For example, https://flightaware.com . In case you're flying from abroad, then you should also take into account possible delays at the customs. 6:30AM to 9:30AM should (in principle) be enough to reach Kitchener with a cab from Pearson, but again, try at least to check for delays in advance.

When did you apply? I'm still waiting for the test invite, applied almost 1 year ago (October 2018).

Thanks for the info! Do you mind letting me know your number of days from your physical presence calculation and whether you're a single or family applicant. I can then add all your stats to the 2018 spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UVvKb4Sem00uOCyB2kTeM2_AofgT_8b4uTJyBh9pXdg/edit#gid=1128992897

Hi I don't remember the exact number of days but I spent about 9 weeks in total out of country for vacations. And I'm applying as a single candidate.

Anyone received oath ceremony invite yet? Is it by email or mail please? I just saw that there is one ceremony in Kitchener on September 23rd. But I haven't heard anything from them.

Just found the oath ceremony invitation in spam. It was sent to me this morning. Ceremony will be held on September 26th. Good luck, guys and don't forget to check spam folder everyday.
