Unfortunately it will be updated after the 11th September, as system is not checking it even if you give the exam on the first day of the window, it will be updated after the window expired
June 2023 - Citizenship Applications

- Start date
I took the test on the first day of my test window and was updated as completed the next business day on the tracker. Also check other applicants timelines, it takes from 24 hours to 10 days to show completed. We don’t need to wait till the test window expires.
Actually not. It did showed updated on 29th Aug…and tracker showed completed on 31st Aug. I gave exam on the very first day 21st Aug, last date is 11sep. So it can update early depending on when you do it.
I beg to differ. It is clearly mentioned in the online application that we should submit only Bio pages. IRCC already has our entry and exit details from their border services or immigration system. I don't think they will take the pain of going through our passport pages to count our presence in Canada.
For example, I recently got my PR card renewed and even for that you need to submit details of your presence in and out of Canada. No supporting document was required and IRCC was able to validate my presence successfully hence my PR card renewal was approved.
I believe sometimes we overdo which instead slows down the process.
For paper based, it is required to submit all pages of the passport. For online application, just the bio page but some were required to submit all pages subsequently. To save time, i attached all pages as Optional Documents.
I wonder if it is like finger prints and a certain number or people are chosen to submit everything. I was asked to submit all the pages of my passports subsequently. I’ve only traveled to the US during my eligibility period. It’s put me behind by my estimate at least 10 days and counting. So - if it is not burdensome/expensive to do and/or you don’t want any delays whatsoever - it might make sense to pre-emptively upload.
did you get this updated in the tracker? if not just request for access from the sheet and you should receive access. once you have that just add her details to the tracker
Good point. Optional documents can be utilized to upload other pages.
Regarding the Optional documents, I want to highlight that if applying for self, we should not upload any external documents or family documents such as a partner's passport copy without confirmation from IRCC. One of my friend's application was returned after 1 month because of this reason and asked to resubmit.
To my surprise the returned entire package and asked to resubmit again with valid minor ID which I did I didn't expected it this quick
