Would like to see yours first?
My timeline:
My processing office: Vancouver office
Application sent Sep/ 17/ 2014
Application Receiver by cic on Sep/ 26/ 2014
Started processing on Jan/ 05 /2015
I haven't been asked for any further documents like RQ
Notice to appear and take the test was April / 21 / 2015
Test taken and passed on May / 21 / 2015
officer told me verbally that the oath should be expected within 3 - 5 months after the test date
My e-CAS changed to update my test date before taking the exam(means I received the test notice by regular mail first, then the e-CAS updated to confirm my test date)
My e-CAS changed from IN PROCESS to DECISION MADE on June / 16 /2015
Oath taking date = waiting
I believe the citizenship application processing for Vancouver office is super slow, I cannot figure out why they are so slow, but I think may be not being efficient enough, because other offices are way faster
What do the army of CIC employees do all the day long since there is no progress what so ever? what is their job? why they get paid since the only response they give to any one who calls the CIC call center: you have to wait.
App received May 21,2015
AOR July 13
In process July 28
Test August 27
Decision made yesterday Sep 9
Oath, waiting!!

I am being so polite in choosing my words
So do the same with yours as well or don't contribute at all if you insist on using such vulgar language

I'm glad that you reconsidered all the insults and foul language that you had used towards hmuath, and changed for this nicer message instead. I know that you got rather upset over the word "dawg," which is not an attack but rather AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) for "brother," "bro."
As for the thread, I'm yet to take the test next week so I can't address many of the questions. My timeline is available on my signature.

Thanks MiriamT for explaining! Mr. Jordan didn't seem getting it right, as you mentioned no offence intended at all, just using some rather hilarious words to cool stressed-people down ;D
Sorry Mr. Jordan
