Test today. Passed 20/20. Scarborough. GLTA.

Congrats! So were there any date questions ? My test is coming up in 2 weeks, and I need to start prepping soon.

Any other info that you could share would be much appreciated, like which online test resembled the actual test the most.

Also, did you have any passports that expired before your eligibility period and did they check those too ?

I think thats your processing office . good luck with the process , did you receive FP Request by mail or by email ?
I have received test invite by email and Ecas shows that they will be sending me FP Request but don't know if by regular mail or Email !

I received it by mail but my ecas changed first to show they have sent me a letter requesting some information. it took 3 days to receive the FP letter.

Hello! I wrote and passed the test on Feb 23rd in Montreal but my ECAS status still says "In Process." How long does it take normally for it to change to "Decision Made?" Also, I haven't received anything from CIC by regular mail - No AOR, no test invite. My address is correct. Has anyone else experienced this as well?!

Big day today! My eCAS status just got updated. "We sent you a notice on March 2, 2018 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on March 16, 2018 at 1:15 PM. The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment."

I almost exclusively used torontoapt for my online study test. I also read the book once. I used yo get between 80-90 in every online test but got 20/20 on the actual test. Took me exactly 4 minutes and I was the first out. Waaay easier than online tests.
There was only one date and it has another clue on it.
Eg. In 19xx the battle of xxxx was against:
The French
The Americans
The British
The Metis

Something along these lines

So don’t worry about dates so much

Your background (security and/or criminality) checks arelikely in progress. It's impossible to predict how long it would take because it depends from person to person. As long as you received the correspondence by email, it's normal.

can someone update my "Decision Made" status on March 2 nd Please?
