February 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[iceman55]

You can take it here https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/?lang=en

@kaddu747 Just to add, there are a few folks here that have taken the test just based on the online status (without receiving the email invite) and had seen their test status updated successfully.

How is that possible?, normally if you try to it bounces you back that you are not allowed to take it

Need your advise please, how to change address on citizenship application (due to moving), should I changed it through ecas? Or it’s better to call IRCC?

Phone call is generally considered the quickest method by most folks who have changed an address.

The newer webform has a specific option to change address (similar to ecas) but no one knows if it's more efficient than the current webform or ecas. I'd think even with the new webform, a human operator is still checking the request and updating it manually which means it will be delayed.
This is the new webform link: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp?v2

What stage are you in? Especially if you're done with testing or close, it's important to update the address asap since changing the address close to oath has caused issues with citizenship certificate mailing for several folks. In that case, a phone call would be the best option.

I applied online in February 2022 and no update after AOR.

I travelled to another province in Canada for about a week. Should I share this with CIC or no?
thanks in advance!

No need for that. Only need to update CIC if you're leaving the country for an extended period or changing addresses

Never received the invite, correct?
Also please keep us posted on the status change on the tracker so it'll be a data point for others.
