Same story (And almost same timeline here) here for my senior citizen parents. No updates after and they will have straight oath taking since there is no exam or language test for senior citizens.

Yes, I've seen a couple of applicants receive this request but AFAIK, they had applied for urgent processing. Did you apply for urgent processing?

Anyone from BC? Curious where everyone is at now with their application. I only have AOR in my tracker. Everything else is in progress. My friend that applied a few months after me already finished the exam.
