Guys i have some confusion so please bear with me and inform me what should i do
my time line is as follows

AOR: 18 august 2022
Background verification completed: 14 december 2022
Prohibitions: In progress
Language skills: in progress
Physical presence: in progress
Test: Not started
Citizenship ceremony: not started

i have the following questions regarding my timeline:
1) Should i be concerned? or is this normal to not see any activity on the profile, since I see other applicants here , with similar AOR who have progressed further along and even completed their process.

2) in some posts i saw people getting test invites after background verification was completed, should i be anticipating any test invites at this stage? i have thoroughly checked my email account for any test invites, i could not find any, is there any indication on the tracker that will inform me if a test invite has been sent to me?

3) at this stage , will it be a good idea to request to view my file under the access to information act request?

if anyone would be able to guige me i will be very thankful.
thank you

I have similar timeline as yours.. Background Verification completed on 24 December , still waiting for the test invite.

The range of time between Background Complete and Test Invite varies enormously. There are folks, like us, that got it the next day, and some others that seem to have waited up to a couple of months. I have no idea why there's such inequity. But I have seen that the whole process, that accelerated in December seems to have slowed to a crawl in the new year; again, not sure why.

I don't think you are completely out of range, but there's no question that you are on the long side of the delay. If I were you, I'd give them a call and just make sure that there are no problems. They won't be able to give you any sense of where you are in the process, but at least they can tell you if there's a problem...and maybe put your mind at ease.

There are a few "Scheduled for citizenship test" status but there is one "Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed.". But that's all of it. No progress from my last post.

Thanks for the update @harrysummer - No progress for me as well yet.

Did you contact them or something to get some idea?
