Yes
Some April and May applicants from Ottawa recently got their test invites, so hopefully they will send the invites soon for March and Feb applicants.
my tracker shows that I should start the test on the 25th (3 days ago) but no invitation mail yet :)

oh wow, typical IRCC. You should submit a webform just to be on the safe side and also try calling them around 9 am EST.
If it is okay with you, can you pls share when was your background check completed? Mine was in August 2021, but no test invite yet.

Good to see movement from Ottawa office. I think this person's background check was completed in Feb 2021. I believe the test invites come in the same order as when the local office received the file or when the background checks were completed.
One possible reason some applicants to receive test invites earlier than the other is that files are lined in different queues and I assume several queues are moving faster than the others. Also if someone is requested to provide fingerprints you go to the non-routine queue which is even slower.
