I don't know why the offices in Alberta and Saskatchewan are so slow to process these applications... Hope you and your family will receive an early Christmas present and finish the tests before the new year. You are so right, there are definitely still miracles around us every day! Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.
Will do!! :)

Taking the test tomorrow morning. Feeling very anxious. I read the book twice and did several tests from didn't websites. Usually score in the high 90s. But there are few tests where there are a lot of dates that I barely pass with the required percentage. Any advice?

Don't worry too much with remembering all dates. Also, you will have plenty of time to go back to the questions you are not sure about.

I took test in the begginign of this week. I had True or False type questions too. Hope this helps and all the best.

Under my tracker, it's say In progress on language, background check, physical presence usually do they update from In progress to completed all at once or as and when they finished?

Passed the test. Thanks guys. Most annoying thing was that the instructions recommended using the PR card as proof of ID but it doesn't have a signature. That made me question myself. I hope it won't become as issue. I emailed the testing center which has my file a copy of my driver's license just in case.
Has anyone had any issues using the PR card?

They could update all at the same time, sometime after passing the test, that will mean a decision has been made in the case!!!

No worries, from what I have read from other threads PR is fine. If you use an ID different than PR (Driver's licence) then that document is required to have a photo and signature in it. You should be ok. Congratulations on passing the test, I have updated the spreadsheet.
