Hi Guy's,
I have been viewing this forum as a guess to see timeline etc while I was waiting for both my interview, testing and Oath letters.
Now that I a Canadian, I believe it's only fair to register and share my timeline for those of you who are and will be as anxious as I was.
First let me say this is consider to be a non-route timeline because of the request for fingerprint, there was some history in my past so the finger print letter was warranted as CIC always want to make sure of no surprise before you become a citizen.
I have read in previous treads on the topic of non-routine processing, in my humble opinion pretty fast based on what I have read in the pass.
Here is my ecas printout.
