Likely would have been a similar situation. Would be great if they are able to exert some influence on the IRCC bureaucracy or union but it seems that both are very strong for their political masters to influence anything. Ultimately it is this whole culture of lack of accountability, minimum...

Lets begin with the response they generally provide these days whenever you ask them anything: "Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus, some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only. We are working on processing applications as quickly as...

Congrats! Finally ends for you! What was the office name in email where you received your test and oath from? Were they the same office name or different?

It will likely take longer, unless you are lucky or IRCC speeds up. Many are waiting 4 months or more easily. They have sent too many tests now and looks like have created a new backlog. Unless we see many report of Oaths coming forward on the forum, it is likely going to take a long time. The...

If you read closely they are tacitly admitting in regards to the backlog after test stage. The statement indicates that we are "getting more and more applications ready for rendering of decisions". Great but if the actual backlog is around resourcing and slow response from officer in rendering...

What does it say for your background check on the new tracker? Is it in progress or completed. If the tracker says background is completed than it should be completed.

I guess it is just waiting post test for someone to pick up to finalize processing. I am also waiting for a while like many others for next steps post test, it is just another waiting game now.

I know people should be excited with getting tests but it seems like an endless blackhole with everyone waiting for Oaths, which likely would take longer as you need officers for interview and Oath while test is mostly automated. Now we have endless backlogs at each stage. I am waiting for a...

Completely agree, there is no indication of 90 days or anything else post test for the next stage. My view is that this backlog is much worse than the test backlog as for interview and oath you actually need actual officers/staff to speak and process you. As most take tests I feel this will get...

Yes, looks like the only ones who are getting interview or oath invites quickly are 2019 candidates and maybe some Jan/Feb 2020 candidates post test. Please refer to the spreadsheet post April or May 2020 in terms of how many have taken test, when they took it and so far have not received any...

I have been waiting for a while now post test. It definitely seems like an interview or oath is rare for post April 2020 candidates. Likely a new backlog is being created at the post test phase especially as for tests it is automated to a large extent. For an Oath and Interview you actually need...

Anyone has any views on when IRCC may start operating at full strength. Ontario has the lowest cases this morning along with all other provinces with high vaccination rates and low cases now. Most government departments have adapted to COVID and are operating now. Backlogs aside, atleast IRCC...

Thank you for your response. I hope you are right! I do have one observation though from looking at recent posts on the forum. It seems that everyone from 2019 and early 2020 are getting the request for interview or DM very close to after completing test. Most of the ones in later 2020 are...

@rajkamalmohanram We are waiting for over 2 months now following test. In your opinion any use applying for GCMS notes or it likely won't give me anything? Online system has test and background completed with everything else in progress except oath.

Yes please search around most people got this request before interview invite. By the way is there any size limitation of what you can attach to the email in terms of size of the scanned files?

Does the office that sends the test invite is likely the office processing the application? If Hamilton or Niagra falls is office closer to me and mississauga sends the test email that means my file is in Mississauga? While I know I can call or order GCMS notes to find out curious though if the...

Kids (minor) are not required to take the Oath, but when you receive details it should specify. What does your online tracker say, is everything complete except the Oath section? Also what is your AOR month and year? Looks like there is a big backlog now being created at all stages including...

Thank you this is helpful info, thank you for sharing. I was more interested in the recent months with individuals who have already completed the online Test. It seemed that they were moving quickly after completing test with the rest of the process but now it seems it is slow again, so wanted...

Anyone waiting for next steps (Interview/DM) more than 3 or 4 months after completing the online test? Feels like they are creating a new backlog now at this stage and wanted to see if anyone still waiting this long.

Yes putting the same date as per original application makes the most sense in this situation. Also make sure the eligibility calculator has the same eligibility period as per your application. Also I could be wrong, but I thought they might have removed the date signing field from the...
