I saw quite a few of them reporting test invites. And they confirmed that they were not urgent.

I’m a November applicant and I’m pondering wether or not to withdraw my current application and apply online as it seems to be way faster

Probably should wait a little more to see if this is a consistent thing before withdrawing. You've already been waiting about 4 months. If you withdraw now, you reset your application time to zero, with no guarantee that the same time frame will be followed going forward.

Interestingly, some people , who applied online in December 2020, are still waiting for AOR let alone test invites. No one from January/February 2021 got their AOR.

Could you please update the tracker? I requested urgent processing, over a month ago, and they told me two weeks ago that my request was forwarded to an officer to make a decision. Not sure if the request was accepted or not.

 

[boomshanker]

any idea when we would start receiving test invites?
