I did the citizenship test April 4th passed but it hasn't reflected yet in the online tracking system. Everything else is still "in process" and my tracker account says "waiting on you" to take the test, but I know I did it yesterday and it won't let me log back into the test so I assume there is some lead time before it updates the tracking website that you have actually taken the test.
dude, chill. You just took your test yesterday. It takes sometime to reflect. Give it few days.
They have to verify the results. Can take anywhere between 3-4 days or a week too. So give it sometime.
Hi everyone, hope you all are having a good middle of the week. 
So a little update post-fingerprint submission, the fastest on record again LOL
I was wondering why it is taking time for my background verification to be updated, so what I have done is this: I have emailed the following email address CCRTIS-SCICTR@rcmp-grc.gc.ca inquiring about the status of my fingerprint criminal record check. I have included my name, date of birth and the infamous DCN number (the number that is related to your fingeprint check) that the accredited agency was kind enough to provide me, and emailed them yesterday.
Shortly after, I received an automated message saying the response will follow up within 5 business days, but I have actually received a response today.
Great news is: the check went through smoothly and I say so because it would have taken a lot longer for them to produce results if things went south. They told me that the results were mailed on the 30th of March via regular mail to the office in Vancouver, BC. My background check completion is imminent at this point so I can rest easy and be sure it will most likely be done by end of next week latest. The transmission to IRCC is done via regular mail so I’m really hoping Canada Post doesn’t “fumble the bag” XD
Either way, if any of you are awaiting for the results of your fingerprint checks presently, I would recommend emailing the email address I shared with you, and see if you do receive a response. If I did, I am sure you can as well.
I hope all of our applications keep going in the right directions and that we become citizens soon!
edit: I had given my fingerprints on the 24th of March (the end of a Friday), so entire check took 4 business days.

Yes, I applied online. I confirmed with CIC and they also told me you can apply online. Just add letter sent with application that mentions why it was returned.
Thank you very much, this is really helpful! I Will email them checking the status, I have given my fingerprints in the morning of 25th.Hi everyone, hope you all are having a good middle of the week.

The same here. Paper application with family of 3, and there is no update after March 8. Let's lay back and go with the flow
Same. No update after March 2nd.
As per the thread and google sheet, I've noticed couple of January paper applicants completed their background check and one received test invite.
