    Does any have any idea how long it usually takes for test status to be updated to completed? I just checked tracker and it still shows waiting on you , you have been scheduled to take test online. Also, I haven’t received any email asking for a scan copy of my PR card due to blurry ID photo...

    Please update my test date Dec 5 :-) Many thanks! But I’m yet to see the next update. No change in tracker since test was done.

    I just completed the test 20/20, but I’m not sure if there will be some drama after this because no matter how hard I tried when taking a picture of my PR card (step 6 of sign in process) the webcam cannot capture all the biographical information clearly (my desktop is a fairly new Mac and I...

    Read the study guid 2-3 times in detail and then go over the YouTube video of 414 citizenship test questions. My friends who have taken their tests before told me this should be sufficient.

    Good to know! I have started preparations for the test long before today so I will probably do the test within the first two days of the window (next Monday or Tuesday).

    Not yet. No invitation email either, but since the window starts December 5, I assume I should receive the invitation before that date right?

    Thanks! I really hope so but I don’t even see tracker show test activity in progress. It’s still not started. I will definitely post here when there is an update

    Yes. That’s why I said “we may share the same local office” not “we must share the same local office “. I work in a place in Calgary that is authorized by RCMP to take fingerprints and based on our numerous clients who received fingerprints requests it’s more likely than not people living in the...

    My BG was completed on Nov 8 but still no test invitation. I live in Calgary so our timelines may be good references for each other as we probably share the same local office and it is the local office’s job to complete all following steps including test and oath.

    I don’t know, but I have a feeling that they may have a “soft target” of how many citizenship applications should be processed and finalized within a fiscal year and they have the discretion to hold off on processing/sending invites or process applications very slowly when they’ve reached their...

    August 2022 Citizenship Applications

    I genuinely believe the level of complexity of citizenship application processing does not warrant the 20+ month processing time. Of course I know there is a big backlog. Also, we are not seeing test invites in recently days (for August group). I don’t know if they stop sending invites once...

    No worries! My tracker changed to BG complete 5 calendar days after ecas changed to in process. Your status will change soon. Then the next stage of this waiting game begins. I have no idea when test invites will be sent.

    August 2022 Citizenship Applications

    No. When tracker shows BG complete, ecas shows "in process" and if you click on "in process" you will see the latest update is "we have started processing your application'. There is a chart in ecas explaining what different statuses mean. According to the information provided there, ecas in...

    Also, I have been wondering why it takes several weeks to several months for applicants to get test invites after background completion. What needs to be done or needs to be checked by an officer during this long gap?
