We submitted a paper application in January Mid, but it has only received an AOR response as of yet. Does anyone know whether this current processing backlog is typical and timeline is normal ?

Did you get an email for taking the Citizenship test?
Yes, but had to call them to get it. I think they messed up - if it doesn't come in 5 days, they will resend it. I think my wife got her email the next day after she called and complained...

Is anyone else getting an error message (technical difficulties) when trying to access the tracker? This is happening for both my and my spouse's account. Although I don't expect any progress till the strike is over, I was hoping to see my spouse's fingerprints being received (they were sent nearly a month ago).

Is anyone taking the test before receiving the test invite email? My window is open but I have not received an email yet. I can see it on the tracker account though.

Honestly if you can try getting the test done even without the instructions email. I have heard people have done so in the past.

I would have done that but it is very clearly written on the IRCC website to wait for email even if you see the update on the tracker account. That's why I am worried.
