After 21 months I finally received my notice to appear. I write my test Feb 13 in Ottawa. It seems as though I have a hearing with a judge also - says I need to bring current and expired passports etc. Is this normal? Is it likely that there may be a problem? How soon after writing the test can I attend a ceremony?
