Finally, after more than 15 months of waiting, my test invitation has arrived.
:):):)
Excellent, Juan! Are you also in the Scarborough office? They received my app at the end of July 2018, started processing mid-Oct 2018, so hopefully I'm just a little bit behind you in the queue!

  1. 16 + months still no test date at Scarborough office - I literally feel like crying as I have never felt so helpless. I feel I am the only one left in TORONTO from july who hasn't got his test date. Anyone else in my situation? I called the call centre and contacted the mp and got this response
The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on July 3, 2018.

• The criminality verifications are currently valid.

• The security verifications are currently valid.

• The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and the next step would be the citizenship test.

• As per notes on file dating from September 5, 2019, further verifications are needed. As such the regular processing times does not apply;

Here is my timeline online :

Your frustration is understandable, Rahul.
But you’re not alone. My application with them Since July 10, 2018.
Have called them thrice since July 2019 & every time same reply:
‘ In queue for test at Scarborough which is a very busy office ‘.
In my case it’s a family application of 4 and only my wife has to write the test but still in so called ‘queue ‘ for last many months with even, as per them, no notes on the file.
Try to relax as nothing else that we can do!!!

On a similar boat here. They received my app at the end of July 2018, started processing at the end of October 2018. No news since. I've called a few times and my MP did too. My MP got a reply very similar to Rahuul's.
