Guys, I reached out to IRCC for status updates on my application. I will be receiving call back in 30mins. My status on the new tracker is like many other here - Language Skills, Physical Presence, Background verification, Prohibitions - all in Progress. (Updated April 23, 2021). Any pointers / questions that I need to ask that would help - for example, the visa office processing my application, etc?
Sorry, I was busy all day. You are very likely going to get basic information from them. They will not go into the details AFAIK. But if you want to ask them - you should probably ask them the location of your file, status of criminality, status of security and if the file is in "Registry" or "Test Ready" status.

I would strongly recommend ordering GCMS notes - they will give you a little more information.

How did you copy a picture here ?
I used docs.google.com.

I did the following:
  1. I created a new Google doc (any kind - does not matter whether it is a doc, sheet or presentation).
  2. Then used File\New \Drawing
  3. Copied the image I wanted to copy. (My personal favorite for a screen grab is Win+Shift+S)
  4. Then I pasted it into the drawing and resized as needed.
  5. Then I used File\Publish to the web. I used the link option to generate a link
  6. This generated a link to the image
  7. Then using the Insert Image (Ctrl+P) link in the edit box on this site, I pasted the link and Voilà I got my image.
Happy to clarify any doubts...

do we remember the dates or years? is it was easy or tough?
Pretty much like everyone says. Get the Discover Canada notes, read it thoroughly a couple times, do a bunch of practice tests. It doesn't seem to be designed to be hard, just a basic screener that you know the fundamentals.

Yes - the tracker is usually updated a little faster than you receive the notification email. I'd expect your email invite in the next couple days.
