Anyone who asked for their test to be rescheduled to a different date? How long they took to provide new dates/ test invite link?
How long you will have to wait to get a response seems to vary from office to office, but below is what happened to me. Note that my application is being processed by the
Calgary office.
1. Application Delivered: Apr 17, 2020
2. Acknowledge of Receipt: Oct 26, 2020
3. In progress: Nov 27, 2020
- It actually started on Oct 26, 2020, but I only got an email with details to create an account on Nov 27, 2020.
4. First Citizenship Test Invite: Jun 4, 2021
- The test window was between June 14, 2021, and July 5, 2021.
- On Jun 4, 2021 (same day), I replied to them, asking them to reschedule me to after mid-August because I was planning on being back to Canada by then.
- On Jun 4, 2021 (same day), they replied saying that I'd be rescheduled to someday after mid-August. Nothing changed on the system.
5. Second Citizenship Test Invite: Jul 22, 2021
- The test window was between July 26, 2021, and August 16, 2021.
- Notice that the test window is not what I initially requested (I asked for someday after mid-August). However, this time, the instructions pointed out that I can take it from outside of Canada, which is perfect.
- On Jul 22, 2021 (same day), I sent them an email asking for permission to take it from outside of Canada (as specified in the PDF document).
- On Jul 22, 2021 (same day), they replied saying that I can go ahead and take the test from outside of Canada. Check the following link to see exactly what they responded:

I hope this information helps.
