Congratulations!!bkhan37 said:So today I had my test, passed 20/20,
There were some true false questions, and rest multiple choice. I read the book two times and practiced some online tests. Good luck to everyone who are preparing for the test.
In the interview, she checked my passport pages and told me I'll be receiving a pink slip which will be the invitation for oath, in 4-6 Months!!!
She said everything on my file looks fine and complete.
Just a recap:
applied--Sept 9th
Application received-- Sept 15th
AOR received in mail--December 12th (after calling CIC two times)
Processing Started-- January 6th
File transferred to Scarborough office--January 22nd

I did my test on March 3, since then waiting for oath. CIC officer told me that it will be in 3-6 weeks. Anyone has any idea when we will get the oath letter?
My file is in Scarborough office!!

Update from my test today:
Had my test today. Passed with a score of 19 out of 20. The questions were easy. I finished it under 5 mins. The questions can be multiple choice, fill in the blanks and true or false. Overall, i would say the test was very easy.
The interview was quick. He checked my passport(s), my IDs. Then he said, I want to go over your absences. (I came prepared with additional documents etc.) I said, well I have these additional documents if you wish to check and verify the entries one by one. He then said, well you don't have that many (whilst glancing over my residence calculator). Your file looks good, you should receive the oath invite within 2 to 4 months. He went over the documents I need to bring for my oath. Oh and he asked me about where I work and what I do for a living.
Few tips:
1. Read the book. Take online tests. Read the book again.
2. Arrive at the test center 15 - 20 mins ahead of time.
3. You are not allowed to take drinks or food inside.
4. Follow the instructions carefully.
Other things I noticed/overheard during my interview :
1. No body for our session got the oath invite right away.
2. For the test, apparently before today everybody was entering their UCI number in the scantron. Starting today, everybody was supposed enter the application number starting with C.
3. I overheard an interviewer telling the interviewee that they were giving away oath letter on the spot but they are not doing that any more - specially for the new applications. Apparently there is a lot of backlog.
4. The instructor told us that at the interview they will check out english speaking skills - and that we should not answer these questions in one or two words. We should be able to answer these questions in full sentences.
P.S. I was hoping to get the oath letter today. Sigh. Anyway, I think it worked out for the best given that my trip is in couple weeks I would have had to rush to get my passport done. I get more time now. Also, my folks can attend the ceremony (hopefully) as they are visiting me over summer. Another silver lining.
