I finished my test but the tracker still says citizenship test " not started" BG is " in progress " my tracker has not been updated even after receiving the test letter. My office is Scarborough could that be why ?

My timeline:

Application Sent: July 5th
AOR: Aug 3rd
Citizenship invite: Aug 17th
Background complete: Aug 21th
Scheduled for test: Aug 25th
Test Given: Sept 12th
Citizenship Test Completed on Website: Sept 13

Nothing since then. People who have other offices seem to be progressing along very quickly

I just found out my office is Scarborough so not keeping any hopes at all. My timeline will probably be 10 months to a year.
Have they been updating your tracker ?

Most probably. Other offices do their thing way more promptly

were you instructed to submit the receipt? I was also asked to submit fingerprints but neither IRCC nor the fingerprinting agency asked for that. so I assume no, we don't have to submit anything, but not sure.

After submitting the fingerprints, When should we expect an update on the tracker that fingerprint are received/background complete?
There is no received update if I am not wrong but background will get completed once they process the FP. Timeline for it is difficult to guess as it depends on the officer working on your file.

Application Sent: July 10th
AOR: Aug 3rd
Citizenship invite: ?
Background complete: Aug 21th
Language completed: In Progress
Physical Presence : In Progress (1300+ days)
Prohibitions: In progress
Scheduled for test: Sept 25. (Online
Test completed: Sept 25th (online) passed temp online result, yet CIC tracker shows, not started)
Ceremony: In progress

The results and steps/checkpoints seems to be all over the show with CIC. Test done(today actual test online), background done, but rest all still in progress.
i assume any experiencing this.
wife was called for fingerprints, no completed sections on her or kids applications. She has already completed the online test (passed online test as well)
Wonder what the real average is for applications this year.

Wonder which processing office we are. My wife’s fingerprints were requested by Vancouver (we are around Ottawa area) and out online tests were from Ottaw based email. So not really sure.
