You cannot/need not generate invite code, it is provided in the pdf that came with the mail that says "Steps to download e-Certificate"

search for this text in the pdf --> "Your invitation code"

....and you havent done test?
Check your span email... the AOR might be there. Otherwise call or raise a webform.
I have not done the test (citizenship test).

I have tried calling but all agents are busy.

I am just wondering if my application even go accepted. I didn't receive a confirmation email from IRCC after I submitted (they took my money though). I cannot log into the online portal also as it has being saying the system is down, It has been saying this every time I have checked over the last 2 months. While writing this it starts to feel like I got scammed lol.

Is a webform my best bet?

Thanks

To log into the online tracker you need to have received an AOR and to wait 2 business days.

Also, sometimes it says that the tracker is down because it is the wrong tracker page.

I think you are right to call the agents.

Please update my status.

Application Sent: May 20. 2023
AOR: June 20, 2023

Scheduled for citizenship test: July 23, 2023
Fingerprint results: Received: July 30, 2023
Background verification: July 31, 2023
Test date: July 31, 2023
Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed: Aug 1, 2023

Notice to appear: August 31, 2023
Ceremony: September 20, 2023


But status tracker is still shown as LPP is in progress and nothing updated so far for the ceremony.

Guys, you might receive a ceremony invitation email even though there is no update in your tracker. :)


Anybody knows how the ceremony works with MS teams? I received 4 emails, passport request, consent, invitation letter, MS teams technical insturction.

When I read MS teams technical insturction it says I need to set up 2 meetings but I don't get it what I need to do.

Is there anything I have to do before the ceremony? I thought I can just simply click and join the link that is in invitation letter.

If anyone knows this, please advise me.

Good luck to you all!!

Is there anyone with test window from 2023-07-31 to 2023-08-20? This is the second window I received after the system wouldn't let me take the test in the first window. I remember that there were multiple people in the same situation. Would anyone like to share where they are in their process. I completed the test on August 18 and since then there has been no change on my tracker.

I have sent an email to the processing office in the west and also submitted a web form to ask for an update. Still waiting to hear back.
