I called cic today cuz i wanted to check whether my case had been transferred to local office. My ECAS is stuck at IP status. i thought at least it would show the local office information. But I am so surprised and happy that they told me CIC had already sent the test inform letter to me on Jan 30th. The letter will arrive in 10 business days. They also told me that my test date was arranged on March 3rd. I intended to ask for more information. They told me to wait for the test inform letter patiently and i would be able to know all the test details from the letter.
i finally received the test invitation letter on Friday

Congrats andyhuhero my E-CAS is stuck at in-process since Nov 14 too although I got an RQ in between. But it has been close to 6 weeks that I have responded to the RQ. Any suggestions for me? Should I try calling the CIC or just wait patiently?

At this "early" stage just wait patiently. Do you know what might have triggered the RQ?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The most important thing is having the physical documents

Update on our case. My wife called CIC today and asked about her file. The agent told her that her file was transferred to Scarborough on 21st Jan for RQ review. He would not tell her about my file and asked for a consent form to be filled first. Our case was Family. No information on Test date or next steps

So finally some good news.

In comes the anticipated brown envelope with the good news. Test Date is on 24th February, 2015 at 12:45 pm

Now the fun part, studying for the exam.

Only confusion now is if the oath will be the same date or sometime later so i can plan accordingly to have my guest informed.

Good luck for the rest of you all....Study time :D
