Hey Folks,

I am in a similar (Outside Canada) situation, applied online in March 2022, AOR in April 2022, got my BG Completed on October 25, 2022 and received test invitation on October 27, 2022 (Window: Oct 31 - Nov 21, 2022).

I passed my test from Outside Canada on November 1, 2022 and until now my online tracker is still showing test in progress / 'waiting on you'.

What do you think would happen in our situation? Any idea?

I am so stressed not knowing what will happen next. Some people here in this forum mentioned that my file will be put on hold until I return back. Please advise what should I do next.

Appreciate your feedback on this.

I did not take the test outside Canada.
But I did travel mid of Jul for 2 weeks outside of Canada.
When I returned, I did email (to the Ceremonies and Test) IRCC SCR office that I am back in Canada and I did provide them copy of the ticket and boarding pass. I did not mention in that email to now expedite etc, it was just for there info... Later that same week Physical Presence, Language, Prohibitions were marked completed. 5 days later, tracker updated with Scheduled for Oath.

Hi what was the IRCC email address that you sent the ticket and boarding pass to? Did the reply or acknowledge the email?

I took a test outside Canada on Nov 11, 2022, still I have not got the test status updated in the tracker. Is there any follow up required with the office or did they update your tracker?
