"What will happen next" is explained in this post. This is the general workflow seen nowadays for Citizenship grant applications.

However... "How long is to going to take..." is a tricky question. Honestly, nobody can tell you that. Some late 2020 applicants have completed their test invite and their interview while some 2019 applicants are still waiting. We simply don't know, depends on your local visa office and the officer processing your file. However, a ball park estimate for citizenship tests as far as August 2020 applicants might be in the next 2 months IMO. Again, that is only my opinion, I am not sure.
Raj, a question to you, from your GCMS and e-tracker could you tell me when your file moved to local office, when your criminality and security passed and what date it appeared on e-tracker?

Just wanting to establish a timeline!

Did you receive test email or is this update from the status dashboard?

Could you also please state your location for the spreadsheet? Thanks.
I received the test results via email... it says it is still temporary... i'm wondering when the dashboard would be updated (i.e. Test --> Completed)?
I live in the Scarborough area btw ..

I'm sorry, my response you quoted was for marcusvfm2, not you.

Anyway, the dashboard should go to test completed in a few days (I'd say give it like a week). Might happen before that as well.

Also, I don't see you on the spreadsheet. Could you please provide your details in the following format so that I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Location:
App Type: Single / Family (# of applicants)
Physical Presence Days:
App Sent:
App Delivered:
AOR:
In-Progress:
Test Email:
Test Date:

Also, from the new status dashboard, can you please provide the dates of the following :

Background Check "Completed"

Also, please keep me posted about any further updates on your application so that I can update the spreadsheet! Thanks.

Hi, I saw it on the status dashboard, no email yet. My docs were sent Aug 24th, the username is marcusvfm2 there. I’m hoping this is the reference you’re asking for?

Okay, please update me once you receive the email and once after you take the test. I'll update the spreadsheet.

For now, I have updated the test window in the spreadsheet!

All the best!

Hello, could someone add me to the tracker?

App Type: Family (3 applicants)
Physical Presence Days: 1200 days
App Sent: Aug 28, 2020
App Delivered: Aug 31, 2020

In-Progress: Feb 5, 2021
BG Complete: March 9, 2021

Got an email about passing the test immediately after the test, It mentioned the test score is temporary. Everything on the dashboard is IP except for BG which is Completed and Oath which is Not Started.

I've added you to the spreadsheet.

You should see your Citizenship Test set to "Completed" within the next 2 days AFAIK.
