Hi folks,

Has anybody ever attempted the citizenship test outside Canada? How long after emailing IRCC to advise that you’re currently outside Canada do they respond?


It’s been a couple of days and I haven’t heard anything back.

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for completing the test!

However it still didn't get updated in the tracker. I still see:
Take the citizenship test
My wife and myself took test on the same day. My results are updated on tracker and mine is still not. So I guess all we can do is just wait

Hello,
I submitted my FP on April 11 and today I got a GU on the tracker. Does this mean that the office has received the FP? Today my wife's BG check completed as well.

GUs are in most cases indicative of the fact that someone at IRCC working on your file. It's mostly followed by a change in status for your application.

Hi Sumit,

I have an update only on my ECAS tracker which says that they started processing my application on April 12 (yesterday)… however, the online tracker does not show the same update or any GU since March 2nd.
Will keep the group posted if anything changes. Thanks
