I called them today, and they told me that my application is with Scarborough office. I have been told that it is the slowest office with huge backlog.
Is there anyone with applications in Scarborough? Any experience?
I’ve heard it’s one of the fastest offices. But who knows? I have friends that were invited to do the test last year, and they sent the application in October 19 just like us. So I think they are faster than many other offices.

Just passed the test: 20/20
The only issue is that the photo of my ID (PR Card) wasn't very clear when I approved due to the lack of a great laptop camera, could that affect the results in any way?
Secondly, they asked for an ID with signatures on it and at the same time were OK with the PR card which does not have signatures, is there any issue with that?
Thanks, Please update

Don’t know about the second question. I used my driver’s license. But I had the same issue with the photo of the ID. And friends had it too. So I don’t think the issue was on your camera. And I believe many people face the same problem. Probably IRCC is well aware of it.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all having an okay week so far.
I have an interview scheduled for March 25th.
I had taken the test last month.
Please, and if possible, update the info on the spreadsheet.

Thank you so much! I hope things go well. Looking at the spreadsheet, it seems like it takes about a month for the status to change to Decision Made. Fingers crossed. Take care

Wrote my online exam on January 25, 2021 and passed (20/20). IRCC confirms that I have passed the test but nothing since then. No fingerprints requested throughout the process. Mississauga office.
Anyone else in the same boat?
