@razerblade did you get your test invitation or not yet?

nope, not yet. When I called to ask about it, they said my background check was done first and is cleared. Next step should be test invite, unless for some reason I get an RQ.

Hello All,

I had my application for citizenship in already and status is in process but i got a job in another province and moved three weeks ago. I still own the house with the address i used for my application in my home province and would like to continue to use it for the entire process. Though i have changed jobs and renting in the new province but my house is still my permanent address. I still have access to my mailbox and have someone checking my mails regularly. Do you think this will be an issue during the interview process? I am hoping i get a test invite soon given all the responses lately.

Application received Oct 16 2017
In process November 27th, 2017
Test invite: ???
Single applicant.

I don't think it matters, you could update your address online if you wish and it will have no impact on processing time.

nope, not yet. When I called to ask about it, they said my background check was done first and is cleared. Next step should be test invite, unless for some reason I get an RQ.

I feel they are becoming faster in processing. I wasn't expecting to get DM in 3 month!. you should be done soon.

If you look in the invitation email for test second page it says bring Corp, passports original and PR card plus 2 photos ID

They ask me last Thursday after the test in the interviews and I give them all , in Montreal

Thanks! Really hope so.

Even if I get the test invite soon, oath will take time. Scarborough (likely the CPC i'm being processed at) is notorious for extremely long wait times from DM to oath.
