I received the test window email Mar 16 and responded as instructed with the Outside Canada email the next day but have received no response whatsoever. Has anyone else had to navigate through this situation?
What if I don’t hear back by the end of the test window?

Take the test as scheduled. You have informed them and done your part. In the test option, click inside canada because they have not updated with any other option. I read about this in some other thread, you can find this info as well. Goodluck.

Did your test email asked you to email if you have to give test outside India?
The email mentioned,
"If you are outside of Canada and you would like to take the Canadian citizenship knowledge test from outside of
Canada, please contact us at IRCC.MtlConvoTests.IRCC@cic.gc.ca within 24 to 48 hours from the date of this notice
and indicate “Outside Canada” in the subject line of the email and provide your name, application number and the
start and end date for your online test in the text of your email. Please include proof (plane ticket, boarding pass) of
your departure from Canada."

I don't think you need to wait. You just need to inform them, which you already did. During my time in 2022 there was an explicit statement in the email that they will contact with the next steps which is not there is your email.

Makes sense. Did they asked you for an interview after the test from outside?
