November 2021 - Citizenship applications

[Nadaa]

I appeared for my citizenship test on May 6th and scored 20/20. When I am checking the status online, is says citizenship test: "Not started"
I didn't receive any email either after completion of my test. How many days do they generally take to update the status?

For me 2-3 weeks

Do you live in the US? Why would they log your CoR as the USA?

Well, i went to the September thread, there was a lady with my time line but she wrote her test few days before mine , Our test update was actually the same day and currently as of May 20 she received her oat update. I also checked people in the august time line and notice it took them about a month and 2 or 3 weeks from test update to get their DM and oath update. So yea i am a month and few days now so this is how i measured. I just know that by the end of next week or upper week before the 27th of May i will receive DM and prohibitions all complete.

Hey..Did you get any update regarding DM ?

Still waiting for the test invite here... Any one else in the same boat. ?? Seeing on Jan and Feb forum- ppl already started getting test invites.

October online applicant here, no updates so far.

Wait a second Frank.....you order GCMS notes every week?

tried doing that but they charge 5 dollars for every report. Not worth it in my opinion as we have no way to know if this actually speeds up the process. I read some people did that but I don't know how. At this rate I am just resorted to let the application take its course. I am totally tired and overwhelmed. Let's hope it doesn't go beyond 12 months as some people said here. I order the ATIP notes, and called IRCC hotline who refused to give me any update, citing just that my file is in processing normally and that I should wait (at least 6 months before I could hear about the test) and 27 months of regular processing due to backlog! I am not gonna bother myself. This whole processing thing is like a black box and is pretty much a matter of luck. Last year when applying, I read that paper were slow to process and online was much faster, turns out completely untrue judging by what people put in the forums. There is nothing to be done at this point (I can't afford to withdraw the app and start the process on paper from scratch, too costly and overwhelming). At this rate (I am an October online applicant), it's been 8 months since I submitted, entering the 9th month of processing. Nothing in the horizon. I'll keep you posted should something come up.

is this through ATIP notes or from the phone call?
