This is what I have please share what do you think

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 18, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 24, 2017.
3. We started processing your application on December 4, 2017.
4. We sent you a notice on December 28, 2017 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 25, 2018 at 8:15 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.
5. We sent you correspondence on January 9, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

I think its most likely a FP request as we had few ppl in this thread getting a FP request and test invite sent simultaneously. They use the same text for FP request and RQ. So you can confirm only when you receive the letter. Lets hope its a FP request. Also you can contact CIC call centre. They do sometimes tell you exactly what it is

Hi guys,
I never received any mail by post neither email. I checked online status first two months but didn't check online status afterwards as I was expecting post mail.I was checking mail every few days and email regulary. But checked yesterday online portal and found citizenship oath date was dec 15th.
but never receieved any mail post or email. even test officer informed me will recieive mail as I can recall asking him specifically. I was within 30 days
so I wrote a letter mentioning above reason my surprise shock and disaapointment and also called helpline and send a inquiry on portal and also visted local office which provided envelope to send mail with reason .Good thing I was within 30 days.Also helpline agent said there is note on file to reschedule.Shall I am fine? . my case file wouldn't be abandoned.?I read all policies it says if its within 30 days and reasonable explanation they will reschedule, otherwise will send final notice for reschedule. please advise. it wasn't my fault I never receieved any correspondence.
very worried.
local office reception told me unofficially they are upgrading in transition phase from offline to online but ask not to quote or mention ,simply write a letter.and informed that is the reason I didbnt receive any mail.
I did my due diligence afterwards
wrote a letter to local office explaining above mentioned reason
called helpline spoke with agent who told me he is pushing notification to local office and asked me to send a letter to them as well
also filled inquiry form
all three things done within 30 days.

Congrats man!
do they tell you right away that a "decision has been made"? or they only tell you that you have passed the exam?!

He told me that i passed the test and ill wait for my oath taking day that they will send it thru email. He didnt say any time frame but he said anytime soon. So i dunno. He didnt mention either about that finger print request that they send it to me last dec 20th w/c i havent got it yet. I mean the letter

Hi, In my ecase the address shown is wrong. The address on my attachment that i recieved as an aor is correct, but the mailing address is wrong (its a very old address from my pr from my home country), and my home address which was supposed to be the same as the mailing address is wrong. It had a link below to notify cic of the change of mailing address and i did that, do i need to call cic as well or just the online notification of address change is enough?

 

[marby22]

At what point should I be giving CIC a call? Application delivered on October 25 and still no AOR.
