I have been somewhat disconnected from following the thread and everyone's progress.
Are a lot of people getting RQ? Primarily those who travelled a lot during the eligibility period?

Also the test invite is an email, right? Or are they sending it snail postal mail? Does it show up in your online status a few days after you receive it?

People are getting what IRCC is calling Quality Assurance Exercise, which is similar to a full blown RQ. I feel that it seems like a lot of people are getting, but that could be because a lot more people applied in October/November months. There has been no connection established between QAE-RQ and travelling outside Canada. People who didn't travel also got QAE. Seems to be random in nature to some extent.

Test invite can be sent via email or snail mail. More likely email, as seems to be the recent trend. ECAS updates around the same time you get the email, sometimes before. In case of snail mail, ECAS would most likely update first.

Usually they send this after invite you to test or at any point?

It's not fixed. Could even send an FP request after the test.

I just got my AOR guys! Please include me in your database.

Can you share your complete timeline ?

Daycare, or babysitter, if friends or family are not available. You could request to postpone your test, however recommendation would be not to.

Hi guys,

I received my date for the test today , it will be on January 24th. Please update the spreadsheet.

FYI, the email fell in the spam folder, thank God I received a call from immigration Canada saying that I was invited to the test and that the email may have fallen on the spam folder.

The email was from cic-citoy-convo@cic.gc.ca

Good luck everyone!!!
