October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[ukulele]

Hello,
My application sent on oct 17th and received on Oct 20, received AOR on dec 14th, In process on Jan 11th still no reply. But today when I am trying to login my ECas asking to update the home and mailing address. I am not seeing any more options except logout. Before I am able to everything. Can you some tell me the reason and how long it will take time to get test invite.
Thanks

ECAS is acting up for me as well today... As soon as I log in, it prompts me to change my address even though I do not press anything related to changing the address...

I used Internet Explorer, and it worked just fine...

Does anybody else have problems with ECAS?

If you’re googling ECAS using chrome then choose the second option. The first link is to prompt you to change address. Same thing happened here but when I used my phone to access the bookmarked ECAS that I had created long time ago the. It takes you to check app status page, not change address page. ECAS not acting up google search is. Choose the second one.

My wife passed her test Hamilton. 19/20, she mentioned that test wasn't straight forward at all. anyway in the interview after the test the officer asked to provide police certificate from Jordan as she spent there more than 183 days in the last 4 years. officer told that they will send a letter asking for that police certificate. we already received the police certificate, can she just go and hand it over at the Hamilton office. I tired to find the phone number of Hamilton office but it is not posted anywhere!

You need to wait until you receive the letter from IRCC. In the letter, you will find the mailing address that you need to send the police certificate.
I suggest to send it by "xpresspost" with Canada Post because it has a tracking number.
All the best!

Hey Guys,

So I had my test this morning and there was about 80-90 people wrote the test and I think are are two sessions a day. So yeah lots of volume, atleast in Vancouver. The test was very easy. Here is my view of the test. I read the guide twice and did few online quiz and scored 70-80 online and today I scored 20/20. NO DATE related questions. Also without giving the question away 90% of the questions are common sense (Name the most famous hockey player in canada... etc) If you stayed here for 5-6 years and watched news and know bit about canada, You will pass no worry at all. No super tricky questions either.

On the interview side I wasnt asked anything beside Show ID (DL) and the officer didnt even asked for the passport. I had about 20+ travels over last 3-4 years mostly USA and south America( Might get a notice asking for my passport copy but who knows. At the end officer told me that he approved my application and I should receive Oath in 3-5 months, which is below avg processing time. Below is my timeline. Please update necessary fields and if someone have any questions, let me know. I will do my best to answer. FYI... this forum is awesome, like people here i feel like know more than typical immigration officer and they all vary from city to city. So be patient and one day you'll get that oath letter, I was impatient lots of times as well (cant help it). Here is my timeline:

Can you please update the tracker for my record, please?

Test Date 7 March 2018

I passed the test and was informed that my background check result is pending and that I should expect to receive invitation for taking the oath in 3-5 months.

If they deal with the time very strict, yes I will find a babysitter, and arrive 30 minutes earlier.

If it is not that much, I will arrange to arrive on time, and possibly late few minutes due to whatever reason of delay.

I arrived 10 mins before the time on my letter and people were ALREADY filing into the test room.

The test started 6 minutes after the time printed on my letter. Had I arrived on time, I would have been the last person they let in, had I even been 1 minute late, I don't think I would have been able to sit the test.
