Idk why do they take it so long to processing my profile and I have been waiting almost 3 years and most of my friends who applied last year already got their oath. And mine they have to order the clearance again. And at this this point it could take several more months

If you applied as family they will process all applications at the same time, similar to FP, application will move to the next step until all have passed the test, unless someone fail the online test twice and fail during Teams meeting call which is the third opportunity. at the point they will make a decision to split the applications. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=361&top=5

What happens if I fail the written citizenship test?
Due to COVID-19, we cancelled
  • all in-personcitizenship tests
    • We’re now inviting some applicants to take the citizenship test online.
    • If you can’t or don’t want to do the online test, you may wait until in-person tests resume (date to be determined).
  • most retests, interviews and hearings(including videoconference hearings)
    • Wait for us to contact you.
    • If you need to change your appointment, contact the office that sent the invitation.
      • The contact information is in the letter we sent.
If you do not pass the written test, but you meet the other criteria for citizenship, we will schedule you for a second test. This second test will usually take place 4-8 weeks after your first test, but the delay may be longer. If you are not available to take the test on that date, you must let us know.
If you do not pass the second test, we will send you a notice telling you to appear for a hearing with a citizenship officer. During this hearing, the citizenship officer may assess whether you meet all the requirements for citizenship. During an oral interview, the citizenship officer may:
  • test your knowledge of Canada and the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship;
  • ask questions about your residency in Canada; and/or
  • assess if you have adequate knowledge of English or French.
If you are asked to attend an interview, but applied for citizenship with your family by sending your applications in the same envelope, your application will be processed separately from your family's unless you want them to be processed together.

I found this from one of the current IRCC job postings:

"Personalised workplace arrangements (full-time telework, part-time telework or in-office). Part-time telework and in-office available to candidates in the Montreal area once it is safe to do so according to responsible authorities."

My citizenship application file is being processed by Montreal, no wonder it is not moving forward....

And also, civil servants in Quebec have only started working at office since early March 2022....

Looks like Quebec is taking it easy and not processing application at its optimal pace.

Don't what to say... maybe still a long wait for us, everything with IRCC is just pathetic.

Learn the key dates, the test will have about 1-2 questions around dates. So don’t stress too much about it.

It could take from 1 day to weeks or months to update, depending on your local office, also in regards to BG it could be that they are still waiting for information from the entities that verify the BG or that they will ask for fingerprints. Many online applicants have received the test invitation with BG verification still in progress.
I saw the online tracker today and it updated my BG status to "Completed". But the citizenship test taken on March 5th is still showing in progress.
