They haven't responded to my email yet. In the autoreply email it is said that they would respond with in 5 business days. Hopefully I will get response by then. Please let me know if your test status changes.

I'm in exact same situation, test scheaduled for 24 April - 15 May, didn't get the invitation yet, and I'm outside Canada. I have emailed the IRCC.CitOnlineTest-TestenligneCit.IRCC@cic.gc.ca but they didn't email me back yet, not sure what to do. What are your plans to deal with it?

I too didn't get any response from them so I called IRCC yesterday regarding test invite and agent mentioned that they will send an urgent email to the respective processing center and they would send out invite typically in 2 business days. but nothing so far

I also mailed them regarding a test invitation email and got a reply today morning from them. Here is the reply:



Thank you for contacting IRCC’s online test support inbox.
Unfortunately, the Labour disruption caused delays in the sending out of test invitations for our Citizenship clients, so you may yet receive an invitation via email.
We have confirmed however that your test session is active in the online testing portal, so you can log into the system and take your test at any time before May 15th if you wish.
The online testing system can be accessed through the following link: https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/?lang=en
If you would like to be rescheduled, please contact the local office responsible for processing your application. They can be contacted at DNCITVANTESTS@cic.gc.ca
Please note that delays in rescheduling requests can take up to 45 days or longer to be processed.

Study well
Some resource for mock test - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/may-2022-citizenship-applications.766933/post-10331408

Looks like the CIC workers returned back and rescheduled my test window start from April 27th to May 5th
I get some more time to actually prepare for the test!

 

[JensonP]

In my test invite email, I have this contact email: IRCC.DNSCRCitizenshipe-Apps-DemandesenligneCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
Does it mean my application processing centre is in Scarborough?

I’m getting pretty paranoid and worried, I’ve had zero communication since my March 4 AOR… no background check, no test invite, no update to tracker, literally nothing
Meanwhile it seems like most of y’all are wrapping up your test already.

We are on the same boat. Applied Feb 23 and havent received my AOR yet.

HI there

I have been a couple weeks where I cant log in to my tracker, it's stuck at loading since I got my test email. Has anybody else had this problem?

I did the test yesterday and passed, but I have no way of checking if it's shows completed

Thank you!

Tracker doesn't show if you passed the test until an officer marks it as completed. It may take up to a week or so. My test result was updated a week later.
