UpdatedHi, please update. Test was done on 06/06/2018 and today (7th) ICAS changed to decision made. No Oath letter yet...
Almost 15 persons.Hello there,
How many people took the test with you?
Hey winpro, I'm honestly not an expert. TBH, I've never seen FOSS clearance on GCMS notes, unless it's called something else now. All I know is that they run security and criminality checks, out of which security (run by CSIS) generally takes the longest to complete.Hey Razer,
I had a question: Why is there no FOSS and GCMS clearance in the GCMS Notes anymore? I have read on previous posts that there use to be. The reason I am saying is because I called the IRCC and they told me they have my security and criminality clearance and the background checks are complete. And when I asked why haven't I received test invite, the agent said the background checks are pending and the prohibitions are in process. I hung up on him and called again and the lady told me the logical next step should be test invite since they have my background checks.
I wanted to ask you if there is a remote, remote possibility of an issue with my Immigration? I think the agent who said background checks are pending made shit up. Because the prohibitions had not been started on my GCMS notes.
Let me know what you think. I highly appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.
Awesome, thank you for the reply. I am also awaiting the test invite. The call centre said my background checks are complete since May 28. Lets see when I get the invite.Almost 15 persons.
No, nothing to hide. Thanks for the reply. And yeah the checks are complete. I'll just take a patience pill and wait a bit more.Hey winpro, I'm honestly not an expert.

I had a similar issue. I called in Jan to find out my background checks were already complete (2 agents confirmed it). However, it took roughly 2 months from then for the CPC to schedule my test. I'm guessing I was just stuck in a queue somewhere. I don't think there is anything wrong with your immigration application as long as you didn't hide anything. Just a matter of time.
Good luck
Unfortunately the tracker shows that CPC is randomly slelcting files haphazardly to schedule test dates; Nov 2017 applicants have started to recieve Test Invites, (I perosnally know 2 people who received it in May 2018 and even they were surprised to see that I did not receive it as of date, applying a month almost prior to them) and are passing exams sucessfully to receive OATH CEREMONY in Scarborough/Mississaga. This is insanely not a good and fair approach for the Oct 2017 applicants of Scarborough/Mississauga. I have submitted a doctor's note in March asking for an expedite processing and still they neither acknowledged it, rather disregarded it, I would say. I also mentioned to CIC that I need to travel to and from Canada and USA a lot due to the nature of my job. Still they didn't bother expediting my file; it is still in Process Since Jan 2017.No, nothing to hide. Thanks for the reply. And yeah the checks are complete.

Thank you again for your reply.
I understand your frustration, my friend and I sent both our applications in October 2017 he became citizen on May 9th, and mine is still in Process since February 15th ...Unfortunately the tracker shows that CPC is randomly slelcting files haphazardly to schedule test dates; Nov 2017 applicants have started to recieve Test Invites, (I perosnally know 2 people who received it in May 2018 and even they were surprised to see that I did not receive it as of date, applying a month almost prior to them) and are passing exams sucessfully to receive OATH CEREMONY in Scarborough/Mississaga.

Your valuable feedback will be appreciated.
P.S:
1. Btw, I am also a Scarborough/Toronto Applicant.
2. I have some medical conditions and expediting my file would have been a better approach to relieve me off the stress of waiting.
Thanks a lot.
updated, good luck!Got test Invitattion Letter on 18th May 2018.
Test Date : 26th June, 2018
Please update the list.
Its a frustrating situation indeed, i can understand Oath taking a while in Scarboro as i know there are even July, August and September 2017 applicants still waiting for their Oath invites! However Scarboro office is usually quite fast to issue test invites, you should have gotten at least a test invite by now.Unfortunately the tracker shows that CPC is randomly slelcting files haphazardly to schedule test dates; Nov 2017 applicants have started to recieve Test Invites, (I perosnally know 2 people who received it in May 2018 and even they were surprised to see that I did not receive it as of date, applying a month almost prior to them) and are passing exams sucessfully to receive OATH CEREMONY in Scarborough/Mississaga.

After a quick search, I didn't see media coverage or goverment plan on this one, so I don't think this is gonna happen.Is it true that Canadian Passport prices are going to increase from July 1st 2018 ?
