You need to cal the CIC and let them know about this issue. How many days do you received your ATIP?
I did call CIC and informed them about the issue. Additionally also mentioned CIC that I submitted my SIN document through WEB Form. The agent informed me to wait for 3-4 weeks for any updates to happen.

Also, based on the review of my ATIP, no updates as happened my file after 26th May. Just fingers crossed and waiting for test invite.
 
Yes, but I do not understand this link or how it refers to your case They are saying they automatically send you another test date if you did not attend the first one? Did you miss the second test or the first one? Apologies for being ignorant...
no no not at all my friend ,, I withdraw the application voluntarily ,, no show my generate longer delay ,, it can go for years ,, so instead of waiting ,, I did this ,,, than you bro for caring ,, kind of you

Hi all, congrats to those who got their citizenship and best of luck to those still waiting!

I need clarification on one issue: how do you report travel history when there is no re-entry nor exit stamp in Canada? CIC advises not to request travel history from Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)... because they have access to the same database. So, I'm not sure how to reconcile my travels on the form with what CBSA has on me. Can anyone please share their experience? I'm trying to avoid a RQ.

You'd better to get your own CBSA report. Ignore the advice on the form as it's meant to reduce the CBSA workload. CIC do not have access to the CBSA database and they also need to request the report through their internal process although it may be faster than 30 days. Many officers do not have the reports before the test, but if they do, it's also not a good sign as they might have concern over the absences you claimed.

In my case, I have very complex travel history, I prepared CBSA report, US CBP report, all flight tickets (almost one inch thick). The officer didn't have my CBSA report before the test, he started to check passport stamps and realized it's mission impossible, then he roughly checked the CBSA report (also very long), he only had 5 minutes so he could not go through all my travels but seems to be satisfying. He said I was the most prepared applicant he had ever seen.

I'm guessing that because your IP to your Test Invite was so quick (3 weeks!!!!)... that you actually sat your test BEFORE they had your application processed with all the security clearances done.

I submitted early February and it took over 5 months before I got my test invite (with no additional information requests etc)... from test to DM was just over a week and when I met with the agent he said my application had already been processed and they were just waiting for one security clearance.

So it seems some sit the test before security clearances have been finished. And some of us sit it after... or somewhere in between.
