That's good.

Not everyone receives an interview invite. If you haven't received an interview invite for so long, you probably won't receive one. Not everyone receives FP requests. If your BG checks are "Completed", then you won't receive FP request as well.
Would you happen to have an idea on timeframe of if they'll ask for an interview? Anecdotally, it seems like if you don't receive it within a month of completing the test, they're like to not ask for it? Or is that a complete guess?

Also, they still seem to be assessing my language skills, physical presence and Prohibitons - any idea on when are those typically completed?

Cheers!

anyone from Mississauga or else experienced this?
June 3, 2021 - invitation to interview on June 22 - request to submit photocopies of passport/travel documents send back by email.
June 3, 2021 - consent form signed and documents emailed back to IRCC (no confirmation received after that)
June 21, 2021 - received an email stated "the virtual interview is no longer required, please submit the documents as stated before" - I resend them the documents just in case by replying that email.
June 22, 2021 - called CIC early morning to verify information, the person helped me said "system not updated, did not see anything like cancelled interview at all". She suggested me to wait and keep all the email I received.

I login the link for interview at 10AM as appointment to see whether I can get in the interview or not, the Microsoft Team stated "something went wrong with the URL, please check". Technically, there is no valid link was sent to me?

Just wonder anyone here got in the same situation? I am tired of waiting since September 2019 until now is too much, almost 2 years already.

Sounds very strange. I'd suggest ECAS notes, but it's probably a bit late for that. Did you happen to try calling again after the interview time had expired?

When was your test, btw?

Few have already posted on last minute cancellation. It happens nowadays. Dont worry.
We dont need another process step to delay which is optional(interview is not a mandatory step in the online process from 2020).

Hi, I am March 2019 applicant,
Test Invite - Apr 9th 2021
Test completed - Apr 18th 2021
Scores updated - Apr 19th 2021
After that nothing, Usually i see people gets DM and Oath, In my case i have not receive anything.
I see some people getting Interview request. I have not received any interview request, Is interview mandatory nowadays or on what basis they call if they are not calling it means next step will be DM & Oath? If so how long will it take for DM. Its been 2.5 years for me :(, any advise would be helpful

I was supposed to have an interview on May 31st as per the new online portal but never received an email. I called the call centre and they mentioned it had been rescheduled to June 7th. No email/notifications were received. I called the call centre yesterday and they mentioned that they didn't see any interview scheduled for me except for the cancelled one. In the meantime my spouse's application has been updated to decision made. I was advised to just wait for an update.

When was your test, btw?
i done my test around May 17. 2 weeks after that, got updated Test completed. June 3, schedule for interview and so on.
I didnt call them back after 10am since its non-sense calling them again. Will update you guys if i receive any thing else later.

My tracker is showing interview scheduled for tomorrow but I have not received any correspondence. The tracker was also just updated today. Everything other than the oath shows complete and I have decision made on old tracker (just checked again). Any suggestions or experience?
