Default Citizenship exam query

After applying a year ago for our Canadian citizenship as a family, we received a letter yesterday for from CIC. We applied as a family (my wife, me and our two teenage sons).

Puzzlingly the letter was addressed to my wife and requested that she write the immigration exam in Hamilton in ten days time. What I can't understand is why only she got a letter. I know my sons are too young to need to do the exam, but I'm in my mid forties and assumed I would be doing it at the same time in as her.

Has anyone any insight here? Is it normal to do the exam at a different time to your spouse? I had assumed that we would be doing the exam at the same time.

I'd expect your letter to arrive in Monday's post, unless there's some lack of clarity about your "three years out of the last four" status.

Normally they don't separate the applications unless you ask them to do so.
