Updated the spreadsheet.

@maverick1982 - It is 2 business days and not calendar days delay so Aug 6th tracker updates are from Aug 2 and not Aug 4. I have updated the sheet.
Is it always exactly 2 business days? I got my GU1 on Aug 2nd but haven't seen any updates in the tracker yet this morning. Do these updates come anytime of the day or just early mornings?

Congratulations @blessed99

1. You don't need any software to take the test. Just make sure the YMCA computer has an in-built or external camera.

2. Click the link you received and follow the instructions. You will be asked to request the test link at the 3rd or 4th stage. Be sure to open the test link within 15 minutes. If not, you will be asked to request a new link
Thank you!

I have been reading the manual provided. Please could you suggest any practice questions that would be helpful? I am very nervous about the test.

My comment was specifically for @maverick1982 regarding backdating the updates from the past as per the 2 business days delay.

In your case, yours is a forward looking update. So yes, when the GU translates into a real update it will be after 2 business days due to the tracker delay, however not all GU translate to a real update. In such cases you may not see a real update until several days later.

@sandis May I know what's the status of your Background Verification? What I noticed is in most of the cases BG turns green before the test invite comes, not for me though. Wondering what is the status of your BG. Also, where do you live in Kitchener? I am from Waterloo :)

Thank you. My GU1 hasn't turned into a real update yet - from your experience do you know what the officers could be working on in this scenario? I see that for most people BG is completed as the first step but am curious that the history section doesn't have anything yet even after it said a new update notification during GU1. I know everyone's case is different but just trying to understand if there's any pattern to this kind of update. Thanks!
