Good news is that my wife and I both got test invite 14 days prior to the test.

But, the date and time of test are the same. We have a one-year-old daughter and our parents are not here. Although I have requested for the change in time for myself, I fear that it will not happen.

In the letter, it says that the process would take about 3-4 hours, I fear that my daughter will not stay that long with my cousin.

Is there any possibility that we enter take the test and then take our daughter with us after completing the test? I know test wouldn't take much time.

From what I've read on different forums, it generally takes 1 - 2 hours. If your app is straightforward, you have a lot of buffer days and did not have a lot of travels, and you can complete your test within 5 minutes, you could be out in 1 hour and 30 minutes. However, you should plan for at least 2 and 1/2... but contingency is a wise thing to have...

Kids that age can be entertained. If she's familiar with your cousin, she will do just fine.

Dear Group Members,
I am not a very active member in this forum but wanted to share my timelines. Interestingly I also got Quality Assurance documents and everything went smoothly for me.
I became Canadian citizen on Saturday June/02/2018 and the Oath was at Scarborough office.
Here are my timelines @ Scarborough office.
1. Application received = Oct/20/2017
2. Application In process = Dec/04/2017
3. Quality Assurance request received = Around mid of January 2018.
4. QA docs submitted around Feb/05/2018 (approx)
5. Test Invitation notice sent on Feb/26 /2018
6. Test date = March/21/2018
7. Decision made = April/28/2018
8. Oath invitation received = May/09/2018
9. Oath done @ Scarborough office = June/02/2018.

Everything went smooth and I think Scarborough office is processing things at a very good pace. Have patience and you all are very close to becoming Canadian citizen.
Citizen ceremony almost lasted for 2 hours including the time everyone took picture with the citizenship judge.

I think 2-3 hours would be manageable.

Starting prep for the test from today.
