This is my timeline to date.
1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 4, 2013.

2. We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 4, 2013. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

3. We started processing your application on November 14, 2013.

4. We sent you a notice on January 16, 2014 to appear and write the citizenship test on February 12, 2014 at 10:15 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.
5. I sat the test at Scarborough and after the test you had a short conversation with one of the attendants (so they could test your English knowledge.)
At the time, they said they expected it to take 2 months to the oath.

After 2 months i called because i had heard nothing. I was told that i should not call until 24 months from when they received the original application. Note also that the date they received the application was more than a month after i had posted it.

Still waiting and looking forward to the backlog reduction :-)
