Vancouver Applicants

Good luck to the newcomers.

I finally received my letter today......... it wiped out about 72% of my anger. At least, it's the end.

Ceremony around mid-March.


I have a question: I don't want to bring my driver's license (for personal reasons) and on top of the PR card and any passports, they ask for two IDs, one of them bearing a photo.

Can I take a BC care card and my social insurance number card, or is the SIN not considered an ID? I also have expired Quebec care cards, if that counts.

Thank you for your support all along!

Based on this SS:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au02r_J_VN90dHdrcDJyaWZYYW55d0hJMzJDNUFRaHc#gid=55


These are the timings between test and oath dates:


Location Test Date Oath Date
Vancouver 30-Jul-2014 7-Nov-2014
Vancouver 29-Jul-2014 24-Nov-2014
Vancouver 31-Jul-2014 10-Nov-2014
Vancouver 7-Aug-2014 3-Nov-2014
Vancouver 14-Aug-2014 29-Dec-2014
Vancouver 19-Aug-2014 21-Jan-2015
Vancouver 7-Oct-2014 16-Jan-2015
Vancouver 2-Oct-2014 5-Dec-2014
Vancouver 2-Oct-2014 9-Dec-2014
Vancouver 8-Oct-2014 10-Feb-2015
Vancouver 28-Oct-2014 11-Dec-2014
Vancouver 15-Oct-2014 17-Dec-2014
Vancouver 12-Nov-2014 2-Jan-2015
Vancouver 17-Dec-2014 1-Feb-2015


So it takes between 1.5 - 4 months to get oath from test date. I myself wrote my test on Feb 10th, I hope I get my oath by end of March.

So am I safe to assume that the August 2014 Vancouver applicants are starting to write test now? Can someone confirm?
Thanks!

how is everybody doing???

I am kind of losing my patience. My file was transferred to Vancouver office on 30 December 2014; however, I haven't received any test invitation yet. I was hoping to receive it by the end of February. Any comments?
