This is not related to citizenship application but I feel someone can help me understand this. So my wife is currently sponsoring her minor brother through the orphan relative program and since he got AOR and biometric request letter since august there have been multiple ghost update on the tracker but no changes on the tracker and everything is not started since august 2022 except for biometrics that is showing in progress since august. Ecas is showing only application received 18th of May and nothing else, not even applications in progress. Is this normal for a minor application?

I sent them an e-mail and they replied saying there's a 3-6 month wait time for the completion date.

From the spreadsheet, it looks like the West side has buckled up and sending updates like crazy, especially the Calgary office. Hoping the SCR office to send some updates too in the new month.
Hoping the same for SCR and all the office files. :)

I have a question though, I helped my wife in her test by walking her through technically in the sign in steps 1 to 6 of the test taking, then I exit the room and keft her alone starting the profile photo taking and before the test start... wondering if that's gonna cause a problem for her! Anybody knows?

I did the same, no issues, as long as you or nobody else comes in the picture she took, you guys are good. The ID picture capturing was so tricky, I had to help my wife too.

Phew I was afraid that might blow up the whole thing for her! Glad it worked out fine for you....and about the ID photo that is one damn tricky thing ...it is almost impossible to take a clear shot as most of the labtop/tablet cameras have infinate focus, I had to disable my labtop built in camera and go and buy/install a logitech external webcam with Auto Focus feature to be able to get through with this....some extra $50 but if compared to an invalid test results due to unclear ID photo it's quiet cheap I guess!

Hello, I mistakenly took my photo instead of the PR card while attempting the exam. I Passed the exam but would like to know whether the test will be invalid or whether they request for a photo I'd ???
They will send an email asking you for a pic of your PR no need to worry if you have their email for the document collections part of your processing office then you can email the PR to them as well if you are being processed by Scabrogh then that email would be
IRCC.DNSCRCitizenshipe-Apps-DemandesenligneCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

When you send it they will add it to your file, make sure the subject line is, your full name and your UCI ( Example: Justin Blake - 9099-0098)

You can also email the IRCC testing department and ask them, they reply pretty quickly IRCC.CitOnlineTest-TestenligneCit.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

Good luck

@sdharan21 all the very best for your big day today! do update here when you become a citizen. it will be a good, positive and uplifting update for everyone waiting :)
Hi, sorry did not log in here for a while now :)
Thank you for your wishes and the support. Yes I am a Canadian Citizen now. Awaiting the Certificate to arrive. Next will be passport.
A small bleep in that entire process. My son was able to take the oath so I have to wait now again for them to send me a medical exemption form from a different processing department. So happy but completely. Don't really know how long it will take for them now!

am assuming they'll simply ask for the id document (treating it similar to a case where the id document photo wasn''t clear)

congratulations again!!
yeah passport is the next one - fairly straight-forward especially if you have a guarantor avl.
i had applied for my family's passports on 10th Feb. received my minor child's pp yesterday - looks good! :); others awaited.
