Hi all,
Ottawa office seems to be very slow. In the sheet almost no one since May has received test invite.
Do you know what is happening with this office?

I think this is normal compared to other offices. No one received a test invite since January for Kitchener office.

Indeed, Ottawa office seems to process applications more slowly compared to Calgary or some in GTA (where there must be a lot of applicants).

Not slow by any means. Ottawa is one of the faster offices in Canada.

Thanks yasir22, but how do you see that for 7 months (since May) there is almost no test invites?
I am march applicant. Everyone from Ottawa( from march grp) has either taken oath or are done with their tests. I am still waiting for test invite which I am not expecting for another couple of months at least.

there are 2 applicants from April and both have already taken their tests. From May onwards I do not know but May isn't too long ago. They will still get their oaths before me.

So this confirms what has been mentioned that for 7 months almost none has received a test invite from this office, and the question remains why?

Agree with AgMaA, Ottawa office seem very slow, average "in process" to "Test Date Letter" is around 2 month with other office, even GTA sending Test letter in 2 month.
Unlucky Ottawa Applicants.
