What do you mean 90 days in between them? There are no clear indication anywhere that they adhere to any timeline. If they passed lots of application tests right now they will just transfer the backlog to the oath stage, which is not better not worse in any way. It is still a backlog.

Completely agree, there is no indication of 90 days or anything else post test for the next stage. My view is that this backlog is much worse than the test backlog as for interview and oath you actually need actual officers/staff to speak and process you. As most take tests I feel this will get worse and worse.

I hope I am wrong, but I think it can easily take 6 months post test with the current volume to move to interview or oath stage (assuming nothing changes on how things are done by IRCC). If you review the spreadsheet post May2020 you will already see there are people waiting 3 to 4 months already. If they really wanted to get these done, as things are opening up they can do mass oaths in large public spaces with social distancing. There are ways to fix this, not sure if there is a will to do so though.

Ofcourse they are not going to do in-person events. There is already scientific evidence to prove that virus wont spread if 2500 spectators attend a Montreal Canadiens game while it spreads rapidly if 25 ppl were invited for in-person ceremonies or interviews!!

Hi quick question, for those of you who received test invites, did it specify within how many days from the date of invite you must take the test? Thanks a lot.

With vaccination schedule speeding up at least here in ON, personally I am optimistic that things will start moving quickly even after post test completion.

Gotta have some faith in the system.

Got the test invite via email on June 07, 2021 to write the test between June 09 and June 29. I just passed mine; waiting for my wife to do hers.

First time seeing these kinds of updates tbh.. usually, language and physical presence are done after the test invite and shortly before Oath invitation..Am I right @rajkamalmohanram ?

My tracker is showing an update on June 7th (Citizenship test activity status updated) "Scheduled for citizenship test" but I haven't received anything yet on my email and nothing in the spam folder. How long until I get the email? Anyone experienced the same?
1.Test window: June 18, 2021 and July 8, 2021.

At least there is progress.

No, I've seen it before. This workflow is specific to applicants in Quebec. I've not seen this workflow being followed anywhere else.
