so glad to see this that things are finally moving. I received my RQ in May 2013 and sent it to Scarborough office on June 2013. yours was later but you still got the test ahead of me!

Sent my RFQ in October 2012
Received letter to write test on January 7, 2014.

Missed the exam as we did not get the letter to test until January 8, 2014.

The letter was dated to write exam was dated December 24, 2013.

They sent on Dec 24 , 2013. 3 stat days fell in this period. Plus all the winter nonsense. No mail.

What a joke the Feds are.

Okay this is wierd. I called the call center and the rep said they have put a internal memo on Jan 7th to schedule me for an interview. At first she said I was supposed to write the test on Jan 7th but then later after confirming she comes back saying the letter was internal only.
My advise is for everyone who got the RQ and the notice to prepare for exam, to keep checking ecas and call the call center frequently to make sure to stay ahead of the test date and avoid mail delays.

ok so i called again and it seems like the other agent spilled out too much information! lol the agent says she cannot discuss the memo and its just for their internal use!
