Citizenship Re-test query

Hi,

I have a Family citizenship application including myself and my wife as applicants. We both gave our citizenship test on 18th February, my wife's test status updated in tracker on 20th February as Completed. My test status still shows as Pending (I scored 19 on test).
After a wait of almost 3 months, today I called the IRCC care, they checked the application and told me that there are notes that I would need to do the test again. There is no reason mentioned and it doesnt say when or how to take the test again (as in person or online).

I have following 2 questions:
1. Do you know why do they request for a re-test when you passed the first one. I am confused and this is delaying the application overall. I dont know how much of delay can this cause.
2. When can I expect the re-test notification? My processing center is Scarborough. Would the re-test be online or in person, what are the chances?

Please share your experience or advice. Thanks!

Based on IRCC the Re-test will be at an interview with an Officer for a failed test (I know you said you have 19)this would be considered a second test in IRCC Books read more here https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=361&top=5
You can request GCMP notes and see officers' notes on your application to see what they wrote and why they did not accept the test you can also email IRCC.CitOnlineTest-TestenligneCit.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and see if they have more info or you can email Scarborough office directly since they have your application and see what info they can share IRCC.DNSCRCitizenshipe-Apps-DemandesenligneCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and if they have you Q'd for a interview soon.

Good luck

Hi, Thanks for your help. All the information I have is on call from customer care, is this a good base to write to the office directly? What do you suggest?

In between what is GCMP notes? Could you tell me the full form so that I can mention it in my email.

Thanks again!

It does not hurt to email SCR (Scarborough) directly especially since you said its been a while and just ask them why its not marked as completed a staus update, they might just send a very generic email, but it is worth ending them an email anyways.

GCMS sorry not GCMP that was a Typo.

You can submit the request here to IRCC for officers' notes on your file https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/privacyTerms.do

Hi All,

Finally, my profile is updated that I need to give test again on 23 August however; an invitation will be received for the same.

when can I expect the invitation? Would there be a fix time for the test? Please suggest what can I expect. Thanks!

Today I passed my exam 17/20. However, mistakenly I forget to capture my PR card and istead of I only took face picture twice. What should I do now? Or what would be the consequence? Should I inform IIRC and how?
