My VO is Vancouver. I'm a July 2019 applicant and still waiting for an online test invite. I spoke to IRCC the other day, and the agent actually told me that, based on the submission date of my application, I'm in middle of the pack of applicants as ther

Do you mean that you've never received an online test invite? I'm a July 2019 applicant and I haven't received an invitation to take an online test too. IRCC are apparently working on some applications from 2018.
It is useful to contact them through a call because i tried through web form and they did not reply me (Reply supposed to be within 2-5 business days) , just knowing status of my application

yes, I am really disappointed for this as I was really looking forward to this - becoming a Canadian with a roomful of people and then celebrating with family and friends. That said, I doubt they will have any in person ceremonies this year and I am not waiting another full year to become a Canadian. :/ Although, I'm sure if you were willing to wait for that it's a possibility. Just know, that you may be waiting until well into 2022.
I agree that may take another year to have in person ceremony back. But there's no reason for the rush as travelling is restricted. Getting a passport means not much at the moment.

Do you think that the new COVID 19 restrictions in Ontario would stop the online test invitations in the province?
Thanks,
No, because I did my online test and our province has been in code red lockdown for 3 months.

If you have no reason to need to travel in the next year, I don't see why you couldn't wait. I can't afford that time as my husband lives in North Africa and he is going to Qatar for work... there may be a situation where I go to join him in Qatar while we wait for sponsorship and I cannot afford to wait a year.

Online tests in Ontario have been pretty slow and almost non existent anyway

Unfortunately, the blame is only placed on Covid. I am in a lot of spousal sponsorship groups and the pain and suffering is becoming unbearable for people. I know myself I haven't seen my husband in over 9 months and I don't know when I will be able to see him again. :(

if you have one day job in back home and your pr card expired. ircc agent very easily suggest apply for travelling document when you reach home.
they don't know the reality on ground . which is like this.
when you reach home =15 days quarantine
apply and wait for travelling document +2 months.
apply for airline booking and vaccination about 15 days
when you reach canada 2 weeks quarantine.
if you are lucky you are at your work after about 4 months just to compleat one day work. hahaha.

Oh, this is a most stressful situation. My husband is not a Canadian PR, so the situation is different - definitely yours requires more legal assistance as her PR lapsed. It's so hard to be without your partner during these times.
