I see people usually see their test window in the tracker but don't receive email right away. For me, I received email invitation and did the test on November 22nd but the tracker never updated to say what is my window, "waiting on you" etc. It still just says "not started" and I wonder if I should contact them and ask if everything was alright with a test or just wait?

It is so confusing when the process doesn't go like it should for everyone. My partner applied a month before me and his tracker worked as expected.

-----------------------------------------------

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give an update. My tracker was updated last on November 26th with invitation for the Citizenship Test:

Tracker updated for test invite: Nov 26, 2022
Test window: Dec 02, 2022 - Dec22, 2022
Background verification: "completed" (Nov 26)
Citizenship ceremony: "Not started"
Everything else: "In progress" (citizenship test was updated to "In progress" on Nov 26)

Interestingly, the APPLICATION HISTORY section shows that Background verification was updated to "completed" on Nov 7, 2022 , and Citizenship test was updated to "In progress" on Nov 24, 2022. Yet, these appeared on the tracker only on November 26th!

So, for those that don't see these things on the tracker, shortly after the GU, it does not necessarily mean that they have not been done internally!

I received my test email invite today (November 30, 2022). But I'm surprised that it came from the Scarborough office (email from "DN SCR") even though I live in St. Catharines, ON, which is right next door to Niagara Falls!! If anything, I would've thought, it would be my application that would be sent to Niagara falls, since I can literally "see Niagara falls from my living room window" ROFLMAO!

It will update when they release the next updates..I had a similar situation but eventually it got updated. You can see my detailed timeline in my signature.

Thanks for sharing the update. Haven't heard of offices sending passport copy requests in the same email for the citizenship test.
Is this something new?

I have the exact same situation. Are you with West office too?

I received my test invite on Nov 10, completed and passed Nov 21, yet everything in the tracker looks the same it did on AOR day, with the test section showing not started.

I emailed them earlier this week asking if all was okay with my test completion... no reply/no change.
