Guys I received the test invite email today. Phew!!

So what do you in this case? Can you proceed and take the test without receiving the email? Or do you have to wait for the email before you can book the test?

I called IRCC.. they said you will receive the email 24-48 hrs before your test window starts...

Do you already have a test invite?

Nope, just noticed the date on the tracker changed to August 30th but I don't see any update at all.

Thats really useful to know, thank you! So I guess if in the worst case scenario you don't get that email, can you still proceed and take the test?

Got an email from them today about the test. Also has a request to send copies of all pages of all passports held in my eligibility period, in colour, but to make sure the created files don't exceed 5MB total lol. Love to know how I'm going to scan all the pages of like 3 passports and have it be less than 5MB...

Hi,

Scan your passports, paste those pictures in word file.
Click on a Picture, Go to "Picture Format" tab on ribbon, and look for "Adjust" button on the left side. A new box will open, Un-check "Apply to this picture only" and then select "Email 96 PPI". Most probably you the file size will be reduced to less than 5 MB.
