Update: tracker shows that I have been invited to citizenship test. How long does it usually take to receive the official email invite?

@lfcard03 @trickshot555 @IPULL @alok4best @ahmzizo @sat_cse28 @Sladh : have you received the test invite?

Anyone else try to call IRCC 1-888-242-2100, follow the prompts for citizenship application and just get this automated message that if your application was submitted Jan 2020 that they have not started yet? I called last week and was able to leave a VM, someone called me back but unfortunately I missed it, now I am not able to leave a message at all

Test was very very easy. Felt like I wasted too many days reading everything. Should have given in a day or two after invitation. Just read that Discover Canada book once and do some online mock test and that should be good enough.

Wondering why it takes so long for my LPP to turn green!!!! I had an EI overpay in 2015, do you guys think it has anything to do with it?

Don't sweat, we are all May applicants and well within processing time. For some it takes only a few weeks, but for others it takes months sometimes. Even if the application is straightforward, each case is different and at the very least, processing officer can affect your timelines.

You are right, why am I stressing? EI overpay wouldn't be an issue tho?

I wouldn't think so, it's not a crime and not something that "prohibits" you from getting citizenship.
