July 2024 - Citizenship Application

[TruHP]

Also, I noticed that our application is being processed at the Niagara Falls office from the test email, even though we live in the Ottawa area.

Same! I was surprised to see Niagara Falls as well. We're in Trent Hills and Scarborough is much closer. Do they only do online citizenship ceremonies? It asked if I wanted an in person one and I said yes. Does that mean we have to go all the way to Niagara Falls for it??

Hi,
During citizenship test i have used my PR card, but PR card doesn't have signature. in the invitation letter they have mentioned to use either PR card or some other government issued photo id. i have tried to use Drivers license but it was reflecting light a lot and ended up using PR Card. Just wondering are they gonna reject my test results and btw i have scored 19.

PR Card is an accepted form of ID for the test even though it doesn't have a signature. All other IDs needs to have a signature, so you are good.

Is your location Calgary or Vancouver?
For the test, did you have any connection issue during the test or were you not visible all through the test? What device did you use to do the test?

You can use the same link to attempt the test again, preferably use a different device and make sure it is an accepted device and browser as mentioned in the test portal and test invite PDF.

its Calgary!

I was visible but my USB-C docking station device was connected to an external desktop which was turned off but I had the citizenship test on my laptop opened. During the test there was a prompt on my first question then I removed it my USB-C docking station and completed the test with results 17 out of 20.

In today's email they mentioned - I cant proceed with additional attempts. Please see below :
As we have invalidated your attempt in our portal, you will no longer have access to the online test for your additional test attempts. IRCC will provide you with a new test invitation that will explain next steps for completing your remaining attempts at the citizenship test.

Not sure how much time it will take for next steps.

Any folks here who struggled for weeks to create their account for the tracker?
As this group is more advanced in their processes & applications, I'd like to check y'alls experience if someone had a similar issue with the tracker earlier in their application.

I'm a September applicant, almost a month after AOR. While there are other threads about tracker problems, I'd rather hear from folks who have gone through the process.

I had a couple of May applicant have similar issues and they reattempted the test using the same link a day or 2 later. (The link remains the same for everyone anyways as the link is generic). They just completed the oath last month.

I've updated the spreadsheet with your location as Calgary, it was earlier Vancouver based on your earlier message 2 weeks back.

What error message are you getting? So that I can suggest some options accordingly.
