What I see is they are working on June and July AORs , but the hurricane Fiona will result in delays, it battered Nova Scotia.

You must have received AOR (Acknowledgment of Receipt) with an application number that allowed you to log on the online tracker no?
 
Hi Guys, Quick question - My application status updated to 'Citizenship test scheduled between sep29 - oct 19' but I dont have any instructions on how to choose the test slot. When can i expect it? Is it via email?
This is online test from your home computer. You can give it at any hour of the day or night. No slots to choose.
You will get email instructions on which portal to go to for giving the test and that no cheating etc etc.

Hello. I received an email yesterday stating "We verified the information you provided and have forwarded it to the responsible office."
I don't see any changes on my application tracker. Is this what people refer to as ghost update? Or is it just a matter of a lag between the email and the tracker update?

Does anyone know what stage this is? Do people whose background check was completed receive emails like this?

Did u raise a webform? Ghost Update is just change in the date when you login to tracker, without any change in the status. Background check completion does not result in an email. It's only Test and Oath for which you receive email.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before but: does anybody got scheduled for online test but got no invitation yet? I will contact them, but just wondering if it's a common issue

What is your test start date? Generally email is received a 1 week or 2-3 days before your test too.

I didn't inquire about the status of my application via the web form. I did however notify them of my 2+ week travel outside Canada (for which I received a generic email response). So I am curious what this email means since my application had been in progress for the various checks since July.

Does anyone know if the background check starts before or after the application is sent to a specific office?

The email might be in response to your webform.
