July 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Temitee002]

Hey, question for those who took test already. My status for test changed to in progress and I see a time frame for it Sept 1 - Sept 21st. In a same time I did not receive invitation mail with PDF yet. When any of you who done with test got it? How many days in advance before Start of test window date?
TIA!

I received my email test invite two days to my test window, so you are fine. Don't stress about it, you'll get it.

Hi everyone, just being proactive here. But I submitted the PCC i used for my PR application in 2019. I became a PR in 2020 and haven’t been anywhere for up to 183days since i became PR. I attached an LOE with my application.
Do you think IRCC will still need me to submit a fresh PCC or is there an alternative.

PCC validity is usually for 6 months only. In case, if there is a requirement for PCC, its always better to submit a fresh one. But in your case, it seems like you don't require to submit PCC. IRCC would never ask for PCC, if you haven't stayed outside Canada for more than 183 days with in the last 4 years.

I’m not sure where to check. my AOR says Sydney but that’s where all applications go and then Sydney office distributes the applications between other offices.
