Hi guys, quick question... We are a family of 4 (3 adults, 1 child) who applied together via paper application with following status updates:
App received: 18 March 2021.
AOR: 8 July 2021
In Progress (old ECAS): 25 August 2021
Background verification completed: 27 Aug 2021 for 3 adults
But on the minor application it shows Background verification still In Progress. Is this normal or is it suppose to be Completed as well?
Thanks!

You won't see any changes in the tracker until you application has been approved that is normal.
No, interview is required only in some cases, you will need to wait now until IRCC validates your test and then depending on your local office it could be interview, photocopies of passport request or Oath invitation. Congratulations on passing the test!
Congratulations!! This has been updated in the spreadsheet.
Can you confirm the date when you received the email from IRCC with instructions about the test? Thanksthank you!!
This is such good news, thank you for putting my mind at ease over this issue. One thing less to worry about
