I dont think the windsor location is slow as we thought last month but many received invites last month itself and few even before that. As usual, they dont go by sequence.

As usual they go by rolling the dice. May applicant, my wife, is still waiting for the test invite like few others in first half of 2020 applicants.

Admins:
Please update rafzy's location as Windsor in the sheet.

Glad that at least you got the invite. Better to take test ASAP and clear this hurdle so you can be scheduled for oath.

Passport office is also taking about 60 days these days to issue new passports !

Correct. Still will be taking the test on 1st or 2nd due to work.
Oath: You know how cic works as usual on rolling the dice hence no certainty. Same gamble of short to long waiting period hence no one knows if its short but surely less wait of test invite(i hope to finish this process this year, will see).
Passport: Not going to apply this year :). I am not sure when to apply, still confused on when. Will figure out next year hence not worried about the last step. ;)

Is your file location, registry? Same for me and my wife based on the recent gcms notes. So it seems that officer can just pickup the file and update too. Good luck to you to get test invite. Seems they have sent many invites last month and could see that its coming this month too at same pace hence you might get it this month since they have sent for few after your application date. Will see.

WTF ... WHy did I not get the invite since my application submission date is Aug 06 !!!!!!!!!!
Guess you have to wait for the dice to be rolled again. Hopefully you get it this month!

Glad that at least you got the invite. Better to take test ASAP and clear this hurdle so you can be scheduled for oath.

Passport office is also taking about 60 days these days to issue new passports !
Passport can be obtained the next business day if you pay an additional fee along with proof of travel.

Below is the paper file history from GCMS notes.

Correct, your file is at windsor. Have seen posts on people's background is not complete and even they received test. So yes, it doesnt matter since they will anyway have to complete everything before oath so all are parallel tasks. When did you apply?
