April 2018 - Citizenship Applicant

[naaas]

Hello everybody, I applied from Toronto, April 2018 and I am still waiting for the test invitation. Is it normal? I've called them and they said I just have to be patient. The thing is that my PR expires in September. What should I do? any suggestion? should I apply now to renew my PR since the website is saying the process time is 104 days but at this point I don't believe them. It's been 7 months since my application was processed and it was supposed to be 5 months.

My timeline:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on April 26, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on June 19, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on July 18, 2018.

same dates as you.. somehow October 2018 applicants are getting test invites in Toronto, but not us...
