Please update the spreadsheet
New date updates for me: https://prnt.sc/zXFLC9ttZJZq

You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between March 24, 2023 and April 13, 2023. Information and instructions will be sent to you.
I am out of country and quite busy at a business conference. Would this create a problem? Is there anything I should do about this? Can anyone share a place for me to study to the test? How long does the test take? Do people look at stuff or cheat while doing the test?

Type: Paper application
Location: Mississauga
Physical Presence Days: 1121
Application: Family (Adult and 1 minor)
Application sent: 6th January
Delivered: 11th January
AOR: No AOR.

I might have missed 1 ID for the minor (I sent Passport and PR card). So I suspect, its being returned. I have tried calling them multiple times but couldnt get through.
So my application was returned which I received today. The reason being incomplete ID documents for my minor son. My question is, should I just attach the health card (missing pieces of ID) and return the application as it is or do I have to do anything else? Thank you.

this is actually my third ghost update. Received one on the 2nd, 7th and 8th of March. No changes to my statuses.
I also know some got first gu on March 2nd then second gu on March 14th without any change after that , you will never predict how IRCC processing the applications, nothing you can do other than waiting or contacting them

Hello,
I received AoR on March 20 but according to tracker, it says application filed on March 2. Does this mean that they started processing my application before sending me AoR?

Quick question, folks. If Citizenship Test Letter says:

TEST START DATE: 2023/03/20 (yyyy/mm/dd) at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
TEST END DATE: 2023/04/09 (yyyy/mm/dd) at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time

But you live in the Pacific timezone (Vancouver), can you technically do the test on 2023/03/19 at 9:00 PM?
Technically

2-3 weeks would be awesome! Would you, guys, prefer:

A) In-person oath ceremony
B) Zoom online
C) Self-administered
I would love an in person ceremony! It is such a special moment but I would gladly take an online ceremony as well. I don’t know how I feel about self administered, maybe just not for me. I’m crossing my fingers for an oath around Canada day!
