yeah there seems to be a big pause in test invites.
Specially for Toronto/Mississauga local offices....haven't heard of any test notices recently.
Hopefully local offices can speed up this remaining process.
Oaths are happening but testing seems paused

Congratulations! My test was on Tuesday, and I'm now in that phase where I check ecas 24 times a day, waiting for my status to update to DM! And you know what they say about watching a pot!

LOL, same here, you seem to talk on my behalf lol......Test was fine, interview was super fast..just a couple of minutes..officer was nice; he flipped through my passport and literally saw no stamps apart from checking the landing stamp/visa from 2012 I believe because the visa page stood out while he was flipping pages, that is it....literally flipping thru the passport. While flipping he asked me how many times I was out of Canada..I said it was one time..he asks to see family? I said yes......asked me: what I am doing/studying now. It was super fast. He said the next step is the Oath and that I will hear from them soon. It is Ottawa office.

I wrote my citizenship test yesterday 16FEB2017. Test was easier that I thought, interview was super fast..just a couple of minutes..officer was very nice; he flipped through my passport and literally saw no stamps apart from checking the landing stamp/visa from 2012; I believe because the visa page stood out while he was flipping pages, that is it....literally flipping thru the passport. While flipping he asked me how many times I was out of Canada..I said it was one time..he asks: to see family? I said yes......asked me: what I am doing/studying now. It was super fast. He said the next step is the Oath and that I will hear from them soon. It is Ottawa office.

Can any one recommend websites to use for Practice Tests for Citizenship? or Share what worked best in helping with the preparation for the Citizenship Test.

Thank you

On the spread sheet you can find the websites to practise for the test. I am IP since dec 6. No updates. I check ecas at least 5 times a day . Does checking ecas affects processing time lol
