I wonder if anyone can share the timeline between background check completed and test - on mine it says background check compiled but everything else is in progress -
in my case background completed on Jan 26th 20201,
You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between May 14, 2021, and June 3, 2021. Information and instructions will be sent to you.
unfortunately, I am stuck in India. don't know what to do.

Quick question to the guys who completed the test already.
According to the new system, when did you background check complete?

Trying to compute the difference between background complete & test invites.

Passed the test on May 9. Just logged into the new tracker and it says citizenship test status has been updated to Completed. I guess that means they 'validated' it?

My citizenship test status also updated to Completed, passed the test on May 8th.
Where does it show? in the detail section or application history?

Hi All,

I checked my citizenship application status today. In the application history, I have an entry for "Scheduled for Citizenship Test" with the following details:
"You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between April 23, 2021 and May 14, 2021. Information and instructions will be sent to you."
In the details section "citizenship test" status is "in progress".

However, I haven't received any test invite email. I have even checked my spam folder! I will try to contact CIC, meanwhile I thought of checking here. Did
anybody faced this issue?

My application details are as follows,
Location: Vancouver
App Type: Single
App Sent: 2-Feb-2020
App Delivered: 10-Feb-2020
AOR: 8-Oct-2020

My background check shows as completed on January 28, 2021 and i received the test invite on April 21st

also it shows my application was last updated on April 28th so its been a few days since the last update

Got the same reply from IRCC today.
"Thank you for your email. IRCC is not providing exemption to physical presence in Canada for taking online test.
Please advise IRCC about your availability to take the test when you are physically back in Canada. We will endeavor to re-schedule you at a later date.
Please be reminded that it will be your responsibility to advise IRCC of your return to Canada."
Thanks for the update. What is your plan then?

Question: Once you receive the test invite, do you have to book exam or do you just click on the link in pdf file when you are ready to give exam?

Thanks in advance for your answers

According to the new tracker, my application has been validated on April 22nd. All the steps are marked as "Completed" except the Citizenship Oath Ceremony which is "Not started". Anyone has any clue how much longer will I have to wait? At this point they already confirmed my eligibility and I'm only a zoom meeting away :(
