July 2022 Citizenship Applications

[Shylock]

Both my spouse and I have ghost update on 16th Dec. Did everyone get this? I read in some threads that this was a bulk update to fix issues they were having with reversed tracker updates.

I got those as well... it says 2 new messages but there was nothing different.

Are all test invites by emails?

Email appears to be the primary method of communication for the majority. Unless you indicated differently on your application

I, too, had a GU on Dec 16. No change/update after that so far.

I think no.. You have to be inside Canada. They also clearly mention NOT to use VPN. Test email also says to inform them if you can't appear for the test for so and so reasons.

Yes you can give the test outside Canada , you just need to inform them that you will be taking it outside of Canada (the same email you will receive the invitation).
