Test or oath.
Top right corner is the search button on this forum. You can look it up.
I gave the test on Friday and since after trying to check the status for an update but not able to go through the login page it keeps spinning but blank page for ever
When checked ECAS the message says they have requested some document the want me to provide them , no idea what it is unless i get an email or get to my account to see :(

Hello all,

Here’s my timeline:


  • Type of Application: Online Application
  • Location: Ottawa, ON
  • Type of Application: Single
  • Applied Online: Jan 29, 2023
  • AOR: Feb 08, 2023
  • Background Completed - March 21, 2023
No further updates after this which is odd. I requested GCMS notes May 15 but nothing yet either… anyone else waiting for the test to be scheduled?

This is wrong suggestion. Many people in this forum have given test without email and they are done with Oath now.
With the specific addition of the quoted text to the tracker, I would say it's better to contact IRCC for an email invite. "If you see on the Citizenship Tracker that you’ve been asked to take a citizenship test or participate in an interview, hearing or ceremony, but you haven’t received an official invitation from us yet, we might still be planning your event. Your invitation is the official confirmation. "

Call IRCC and raise a webform but don't waste your test window time waiting for email.

Even if you get the email the link does not change per applicant. I understand for oath you get a specific zoom link but for test everyone uses the same link. If your test is not planned the link will not allow you to start the test.

Do a search on the forum and you’ll find out it’s all perfectly normal.

Please don’t mislead people. It’s better to wait for the official email. People have done the exam in the past and they’ve been told it’s not valid because they didn’t wait for email. Even on the test link you get initially before the email comes they say it that do not take the test. It’s better to wait than be sorry or be the scapegoat.

I think this is a trend with Ottawa. I completed by BC May 12th but seeing your post has made me lose hope. Let me just wait till probably September for a test invite
