Thank you, i will call tomorrow and check. I didn't even pay attention to this detail, that it has to be transfered to Ottawa office.

I have one question regarding the PR card: did your PR card need to be renewed while you have already applied for citizenship? Ours expire this summer and we are looking to fill out the applications to have it renewed while waiting for the citizenship application process to be completed.

Call the CIC call center to check whether the file was transferred to Ottawa from Sydney. My wife's file went into process on Nov 29, 2012 and the file wasn't transferred yet.

From the transfer, it can take 3-9 months for test. In my case, it took 9 months.

My wife's PR is expiring in Aug 13 and hence she applied to renew the PR.

Having the valid PR document is a hassle free, if we want to travel for vacation!

I just checked and the file was transfered to Ottawa at the end of January. Hope to have some news in the following months.

As for the PR card i am preparing to apply for renewal by the end of this month as it expires in July.

I our case, me + 2 colleagues it was 12+ months. Don't know exactly; at one time Kingston office got closed and we were transferred. From process started to test it took 13 months, from AOL to process started 8, 21 in total to take the test. Add x months till oath...

hey Moti I think you should call the cic call center because they can send an email to the local cic center to find out why it's taking so long, an once you do the test providing you pass it you will get the oath letter quickly in my case it took one month to get the letter. Make sure you also check the ecas info online on the cic website to see the status of your app just in case the mail man did not deliver your mail.
