I see two applicants from Jan-2020 (@Sam5425421 and @Doda) have their test invite date entered into the spreadsheet. Both have mentioned Oct-29 as the date. Has CIC started sending test invites or something is wrong with the data?
seems off to me...December 2019 applicants haven't even gotten invites yet..

Seems the ID named Sam5425421 not existing. Could not search on this word. Also Doda has not posted anything since last month 14th.
So i am doubting that this is real data on test dates. But will see if they can confirm. Hoping that i am wrong so that we get our test dates soon ;) .

I removed the entries. There is an editor in particular who keeps on updating these changes, when none of those forum users have reported a test invite letter. They did the same thing back in August, reporting that @rssr.canada had received a test invite letter, and that entry was removed. I will e-mail the owner of the spreadsheet and ask that they remove this editor's access.

Thanks for updating the sheet.
Another thing that comes to my mind is that there is no mechanism to separate the return applications. We all know that some of the applicants got their packages back due to various reasons. They are still the part of data range and affecting the final percentage outcome too. For instance, if four applications from March-2020 got returned, they are still being counted in the March subset. Hence we are not seeing the actual completion rate for the month.

Currently, March is showing 82% of AORs, I guess there will be at least 2-3% of returns and about the same for those who failed to update the forum. So the AOR completion rate will be somewhere near to 90%.

Usually in each thread there is at least one volunteer that updates the spreadsheet. Personally for the June thread to which I belong, once a user reports their application was returned, I remove them from the June tab unless further details need to be confirmed.
You could request access to the spreadsheet if you would like to edit/update. I have been adding updates (like FP request, AOR and In Process) to the spreadsheet for other months (January to May) as well when I see them because there doesn't seem to always be someone to do that, but that's it.

No official news on the test resumption dates yet, i will be so happy if this is true, some people just enjoy spreading fake news.

My team mate had his citizenship test canceled in March due to covid restrictions. He is August 2019 applicant. He is still waiting for new invite. I will share it here when he gets a new test invite.

I haven’t checked this thread in a while only to find out that I have a test invite in my name!!!
No, I can confirm, I haven’t received any test invite. I wish the rumors about me were true :D

Hi Folks,

Does the citizenship application will be returned in case of didn't submit a police certificate for a country used to live after having my permanent residency?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If you lived in that country for more than 183 days in a row then yes, otherwise you are fine.

My application status shows "We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on August 27, 2020." Is this a AOR or not? I have never received that book btw.

Are we done with AOR ? Tracker says 90%
In process says 62%
Only bits and pieces left for the month of January

Looks like everyone waiting for test invite and some IP
One of the February application from FB group rcvd finger print request

Wondering still anyone yet to receive AOR??
I just see only 1% jump (1.5 AOR in a month)from last month on AOR.
Looks like we are done
