So May2018 applicants still waiting for a TEST invite are:

Mississauga-Applicant
nick_689
Muns59
Rose15

Anyone else?

I saw some other forums where people have been waiting for over 2,3 and even 4 years on citizenship applications just because their files have been forgotten at some point of time. This is really depressing!!! Unfortunately IRCC is not answerable as there is no time limit for them to complete processing a citizenship application.

 

[Sam59]

Received my test invite after over 14 months of waiting!

Test invitation email received on July 24
Test date is August 15 in Scarborough

Lets stay positive and hope we hear back soon.

 

[Mississauga-Applicant]

I have seen a pattern. Almost all the applicants who have been waiting for long are the ones whose files have been transferred from Mississauga to Scarborough.

I did my oath ceremony yesterday 25th July 2019. My status has got changed to "Complete" in ECAS. It is been a year and two months. There were 200 people at Scarborough. The Citizenship Judge gave a wonderful speech. I would like to thank each one in the forum who helped me all through this journey. At the same time, I wish each of you who are waiting for test and oath.
