Hi
No-shows for a test and/or an interview with a citizenship official —New (effective September 3, 2013)
Prior to OB 476, applicants who could not attend their test and/or interview with CIC staff were scheduled for a second test/interview session or, in some cases, scheduled for a hearing with a citizenship judge. The first iteration of OB 476 introduced pilot procedures whereby an RQ was triggered if the applicant did not show up at two citizenship tests or interviews. This procedure is no longer in effect.
New Procedures – Administrative closure of applications
Effective September 3, 2013, applicants will be sent one test/interview notice. If the applicant does not show up at the appointed place and time, and fails to provide an acceptable reason for this absence, their application will be administratively closed.
Hi
The relative got lucky. If CIC doesn't access your excuse, your application is cancelled.QAI said:

Are you kidding? You're the same person posting that you may miss your oath because you will be in Thailand on holiday for 5 weeks.LesB said:

I think CIC have every right to close your application because you missed your test. Your priorities seem elsewhere.

That's actually scary, seeing from all the folks who have received a test date, it's only a week from when they received the letter. I suggest to all those rq recipients who got the notice to prepare for the exams in Dec 2013 or close to keep their eyes peeled for the mails and dont plan any vacations/trips and call call center agents daily.PMM said:

Regarding the original poster and OB476B, I would suggest getting notarized letters from any roommates or neighbours who could vouch for the late receipt of the invite. Also, it's a long shot, but if you can chat with your postal worker and try to get any corroboration from them, and then get them to sign a letter, that would be ideal.
It may be tricky to get CIC to accept that the letter truly was late in arrival, so the more outside corroboration you can get, the better.
Call the Call Centre daily?! Holy moly, that's overkill. Check ecas, yes, but calling the Call Centre everyday is a waste of everyone's time and an inappropriate use of the Call Centre service.QAI said:

But ya, if you are waiting for background checks to complete than there is no point to call them every day. im being optimistic.
It's better safe than sorry, and i am saying this for because I just found out today that all checks (security, background, immigration) are complete.eileenf said:
That is the problem, it is hard to get canadapost or anyone to accept blame and why would they accept blame for late delivery? They might provide a reason that might not be acceptable to CIC who might simply say you could made a phone call to stay on top of it.
