My spouse received an identity request email twice! The ID was sent the first time and after a week, another email was sent asking to send a photo ID to verify identity again. Make sure you always check your email. Test completion was just updated a couple of days ago.
Wow! but he/she didnt have to retake the test right? Just reshare the id? How soon after the test was this?

Processing Center: Scarborough (got to know from test invite)
Applied: July 1
AOR: July 16
Test Window: Sept 13 to oct 12
Passed the test: September 15

Did anyone else struggle to take a clear picture of their ID during the test? It took me a long time to upload a non-blurry picture. How strict are they about it? And how long do they take to upload in the tracker?
My wife had similar issues where it was completely blurred but her test was marked complete. So, you should be good is what I believe.

No, my spouse didn't retake the test. They just asked for the photo ID twice via email. Took the test on August 23, and marked it completed September 14.

I just spoke with IRCC since there is no update after Testing is completed on Aug 16th. Criminality is in progress so I assume Security must have been completed. I believe it is Security which takes long so it is safe to assume it is completed based on the conversation. At this time they don't need any additional info from my end.

Did you ask them specifically about security if it is completed?

Update
Family of three from Surrey.
Got a test update in tracker Scheduled for test on 19 September to 19 October. The ghost update from 13 September to Citizenship test in progress. I or any of the co applicants did not get any email for test invite. Just an update in the tracker. It’s just two days before the test. Should I call them ? Update again. Email for test invite received from IRCC Surrey

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding my situation. I became a protected person in July 2021, and my son, who is a U.S. citizen, was denied protected status but received permanent residency on the same day as us since I included him in my PR application.

My question is, when applying for citizenship, can he be included in the same application, or will his eligibility be based on the date he became a PR holder? Thanks.

How old is your son?

Congratulations! May I know how the test went for you, and did they ask anything about the current leaders etc? I'm literally traveling right now and reviewing notes (and panicking). I think I just need some confidence about being able to pass the test :p

You are most likely to see some update next week or so based on the trend for June applicants.
