You are right ... And it is even worse than that unfortunately ... The secretariat of the treasury council of canada has tried to stop this abuse of our public money paid by honest workers like you or me by establishing rules for using vacancy code 699 ... But their union - without any shame - went to court to challenge ... To keep their "right" to be able to use 699 without any restrictions. In simpler and more direct terms: They want to fight legally to retain a `` right '' according to them to continue to receive their full salary (money from taxpayers) without doing anything.

This is not a joke :

Yes, exactly what I'm referring to. The entitlement is big with this one. This is why I'm not a fan of unions. Imagine, I used to work in the health care industry providing direct care, all health care is unionized, and we didn't have ANY SICK DAYS negotiated in our contract!!!! When unions first started, there was a purpose...now I question the purpose.

Congrats. Updated the tracker.
 
The Montreal office is totally shut down. No candidate from Montreal received any invitation.

... François Legault will surely extend the curfew soon, beyond February 8 ... And with that will extend our deadlines indefinitely ...
If you're talking about citizenship test invitations, it's not true that no candidate from Montreal has received an invitation. Here are 5 people cited below that got invites in Montréal/Québec province in general, applicants from August to December 2019.

Hi!
I'm from Montreal and was invited on December 18th and I just passed the online test today. It was about time, my application had been sent in August 2019, in progress since November 2019... Many people who sent their applications after mine are already citizens because they passed their tests before covid, very unfair...
Please update the spreadsheet:
