Initial application check has nothing to do with location, You application is delaying because of extra document request, Call IRCC and check with them if the document you had sent are well received and added to your file or not?

My application is with Scarborough office!

Took my test on 03/12
Got 19/20

The test was fairly easy. Anyone taking the test should be fine as long as you study, take the mock tests and understand the concepts. Taking the picture of id and myself was painful and frustrating.

I did make a mistake though and I'm not sure if this will come back to bite me. I forgot to close the email tab containing the test link and the pdf tab containing test instructions, application id and UCI. I did not attempt to close those tabs and risk getting any warning pop-ups. Does anyone have any similar experience?

New Update:
Test Marked Completed on March 17
Tracker updated today (March 21)

I had received the request for PCC for Malaysia, I replied back to the email saying as per eligibility I don’t have to provide but later to be on the safer side I did provide them with PCC as I was able to get it from High commission, To this date there is no reply on whether they received it, Still tracker show ‘Waiting on document to be provided’ but at the same time my application is moving and I gave the citizenship test recently, when I called they gave the same standard answer to me as well ‘We have received your document and added to the file and waiting for Visa Officer to review’

I think you just have to wait, There is nothing much beyond which we could do anything, Just in case no update after a few more dates, Raise for GCMS notes and see!

Hi, this might be a dumb question but is everyone required to do their fingerprints?

Hello, I noticed that my spouse's background check has been completed today, but mine is still in progress.. Is it typical to have different processing times for different individuals in same family, or will I be asked to provide fingerprints?
