No interview mentioned though, so I'm afraid this is a half-measure

Can’t stop my tears yes!! How long approximately would it take for a March applicant to get this online test do you think? Hope it’s not 1 year or something.. What about the interview?

You see the sign-in link..I think if the servers don't crash...they can let the entire pending 100,000 complete at their choice of time!

Hope for the best!

Valid point. I believe test will be proctored by outsourced agency..and interview will be sequential by IRCC Officer...as for many they may be able to combine interview and oath ceremony as subsequent step.

Except for the interview portion and without the interview you still can't take the Oath.

Hehe..stay at home...it is Covid times, and vaccine will be only for select few initially!

I almost feel like going to the protest with a banner saying "Thank you IRCC! It means a lot to us."

Very seriously and joking aside ... Do you think the demonstation should be maintained or not? ... Ahsan Umar posted a status on the “canada citizenship test” group to survey people. What do you think of this point?

 

[calgary1991]

I really hope we won’t wait for many months for nothing again.

I think this time when we go to the demonstration, we should demand answers to questions about when are people going to get invited for test and how and when the interviews will be completed?

 

[piotrqc]

Seems he just decide to cancel it...

Nothing prevents you from doing so. Just add a line asking smth like "Interviews matter too!"))

They clearly mentioned about the interview part in the 'test information' page. The keyword is "May", so I speculate, they will do the interview case by case.

Here is the copy paste of it.

After the test
If you pass the test
You may have to do an interview with a citizenship officer.

• If you do, we’ll contact and schedule you for an interview.
• If you do not have to do an interview, please wait for us to invite you to your citizenship ceremony.
