It takes Vancouver IRCC 7-10 days to verify and for your tracker to update as complete. Sometimes more - take a look at the spreadsheet (link in signature). Keep us posted when it does!
When did you receive the test invite? What was your test window?

Hey I saw your location as Toronto from the tracker. Was your office Scarborough?

Hi all, I’m in Vancouver. My husband and I took the test on March 3. His tracker changed to test completed on March 9, but mine not yet.
Guys from Vancouver has your profile been updated?

Hi friends, I got the invite for test.

Wondering if you could share some insight as to the whole test process.

Started reading 'Discover Canada'. is there any reliable platform for practice tests which I could give ? Any suggestions or inputs regarding preparation too would be helpful.

Thank you so much for the update! Are you by any chance located in the Ottawa-Gatineau region? I am in Gatineau and I've heard this territorial visa office is quite slow.

No. I am in Mississauga and looks like my application is processed at Scarborough office

You should see an update tomorrow. Takes a minimum of 3 business days from what I've seen.

Hi everyone, I applied for citizenship application jointly with my spouse online. Both of our background verification completed on January 30. My husband received test invite and it shows as complete under his tracker on March 3. However, I have still not received any test invitation. The tracker still shows as citizenship test not started. The latest update I see on the tracker is dated March 2 (which is most likely a system update which everyone got). We sent reply to the email from whom my husband received test invite. Did not receive any response from them. He got test invite from Scarborough office. Should I wait for my application to get processed separately or should I raise a webform.

I was in the same boat.

Ask your husband to reply to the invite (essentially send an email to the same office) with all your details (relationship, UCI, Application number, group number (if you have it)). I had done the same for my wife and she received an invite in 2 days. If you've tried this already, no harm in sending another email.

Looking for suggestion, I saw this thread about people who completed their test long back but BG is still in progress

It seems that sometimes FP is pending but htere is no email request nor tracker gets updated at the time of FP request and the files sits and lingers.

For my husband BG is complete but mine not (yes agree it is still too soon but I don't want to be in the situation where i am sitting for months with BG in progress like this thread below).

So my question is should I just go and give the FP at accredited centers???

If you haven't received a letter from IRCC to submit fingerprints to clear Criminality check, I am afraid, you can't submit your FP to the RCMP or an agence accrédite. This part of the application (BG check) can't be expedited. The fastest way to find out where you are stuck is to call IRCC to find out which part of your BG is pending (Criminality or Security). Once you call them and they tell you they sent you a letter that you never received, you can ask them to resend... You can also find this out by ordering GCMS notes from CBSA and that should take about 30 days
