Hi Everyone! 

I am so happy to share a good news! 
I just received a letter "Notice to Appear"!!  Finally!! It's ALMOST over! I was worried as I am expecting in early February and I haven't heard anything back from them since I wrote my test in October. 

The odd thing is that it will be at the Scarborough center. My file always has been with St.Clair.

Anyways, here is the timeline for those who are curious:

applied on Oct 24 2011
CIC received (I got the letter) in late nov 2011
being processed on July 26 2012 and RQ-ed at the same time.
sent the first batch of RQ in Sept 2012 and CBSA report on Oct 2012.
I was told that my RQ was reviewed in Aug 2013 and was told to wait for the next step. They also told me that my file got transferred to Scarborough. 
I got a test invitation from St.Clair, my home office. It was on Oct 21.
Lastly, Oath scheduled on January 9th at Scarborough.

For those who is still waiting and upset about their RQ, I am sending you all the good vibes!

That's fantastic news and a great timeline! I too am an RQ recipient from St. Clair (though mine was issued at-test) and your progress is certainly inspiring. Congratulations again and please enjoy your new Canadianness!

I wonder though - since St. Clair is your home office, but your file was transferred to Scarborough - whether RQs of lesser difficulty are being expedited through other offices in the GTA and St. Clair is dealing with the most serious ones?..

Thoughts anyone???

Hope I can make it as I will be going in to my 9th month of pregnancy on that day!

I am not sure what happened, but when I did my test and interview after the test (with Citizenship officer) everything went quite smooth. I never understood why I got an RQ as I met the minimum residency days and had a job all the time. 

I was told that my file has been transferred to Scarborough in August, but I got a test date from St.Clair and didn't expect I will get an oath from Scarborough. I had a feeling that they just transferred the file there for the test date.

Congrats! wow this is really good news and let us hope that the RQ cases will move fast in 2014. We have almost the same timeline so I am hoping that it won't be too long before I am called for the test.
