Scarborough -DM-Oath

The building vicinity has a large parking area. You have to pay through the machine inside the building (ground lobby). Forgot the rates but I'm guessing its around $10. There are other paid parking areas a little further just in case the primary parking is full. Although I doubt it.
Finally took our Canadian Citizenship oath last Friday. There were about 102 candidates. The room was divided into 2 sections. The first section is for the candidates which occupies about 2/3 of the room. The other 1/3 are for the guest. The ceremony took about a little over an hour. The screening of documents started around 8:30AM up until 9AM. Surprisingly, there was also a schedule for those taking the exam. The judge asked us to cheer loudly so as to encourage the exam takers. LOL. My journey ends here. It simply means that I will no longer be active in this forum. So good luck to all of you exam takers and oath takers. Cheers everyone!
Would you guys reccomend if I go in Person and meet the official staff at the Scarborough office to check whats going on with my application...its more than 16 months...I did everything I could in my capacity, called up the call centre, contacted the MP, submitted web form twice, STILL NO TEST DATE AFTER FINGERPRINTS WERE RECEIVED ON 15 APRIL. I APP WAS RECEIVED ON 3RD JULY...PLEASE ADVISE ??? I think I m the only one left in Toronto from july 2018.
You will not be able to just walk in and talk to people at the office at Scarbs. It doesn’t work like that. Have you tried ordering GCMS notes? Should give you some insight into what stage your application is at with clearances. Did your MP receive a reply when they contacted IRCC? Follow up with them and see if they can do anything else.
Unfortunately, it’s still a waiting game from now on. Applicants who have been waiting 21+ months in other threads are even considering filing a mandamus.
THIS POST ON THE FORUM HAS A STEP BY STEP GUIDE. IF YOU GET STUCK, GOOGLE CAN BE YOUR FRIEND.

Just seen this thread! I saw someone on my Jan 2019 post who got their oath 5 days after exam so am keenly monitoring my email now. But I was told within 3 months and it does vary (just like AoR, FP, and all other dates and delays)
Yes parking is $8 for the day, be aware you have to park, go into the building and enter card and your license plate number, then take the receipt out and put it into car. It is a fairly easy drive from the 401 exit, GPS directions were fine.
There are places around where you can probably park for free, but given the area there are a lot of busy roads and given the weather I'd venture you don't want to be walking around much. It's not the cheapest but for ease and compared to the costs of Citizenship I'll be paying again when I get my oath.

Am I THE ONLY ONE FROM TORONTO WHO HASN'T GOT AN TEST INVITE FROM JULY 2018 FROM THE SCARBOROUGH OFFICE?
AnthonX,
After you took the oath on Nov15th, do you remember when did your eCas status change from DecisionMade to Completed?
Thanks,
