That maybe a reason but cant say 100 percent. When taking test, everything else should be closed. No tab, pdf or even notepad. I'll let others pitch in. Can you check the webcam resolution? When one takes the picture of the Id, does it show on the screen so we can take a clear picture? Maybe during the test your face was blurred? Did you do a webcam check by calling a friend to make sure it is clear?

Updated. @hssrp what should be the decision made ecas date? Please correct if i made any mistake. I put oath letter date as Aug 23 and Oath ceremony as Sep 04. Thanks
@hssrp you've added that in the Test interview date column. It should be in Test complete column. Right?
As a bit of a tech person myself, I’d add a splash of color:
1. Ensure your camera is working properly, and keep your face centered and in focus throughout the test.
2. Maintain your gaze on the screen—avoid looking around.
3. Stay silent during the test. While IRCC cannot hear you, any visible movement of your mouth could raise suspicion.
4. Carefully read the questions about yourself without speaking aloud.
5. Close all other applications, leaving only your browser (Chrome on Windows or Safari on Mac) open with the test landing page. While the system can’t detect background apps, it will notice if you switch focus to another app or tab.
6. Minimize mouse movement and follow the test interface carefully with your cursor.
7. Disable any VPN connections before starting the test.
8. Remain at your workstation until the test is fully completed.
I got the test invite email on Jul 30, 2024. I took the test on Aug 26, 2024
My AOR was June 14, and I took the test on August 5. The status was updated to "Completed" on August 13, but there has been no progress since then. I called IRCC and was informed that the security screening was completed on July 30, and the criminality check is in progress with the RCMP. However, I have not received any fingerprint requests or updates since then. Is this normal? How long does it usually take for the background check to be updated to "Completed"? At this stage, would it be advisable to request GCMS notes?
They did not, he has a confusion on the spreadsheet column names.
@PajamaPenguin - the date you gave the test is the 'Test interview date' in the spreadsheet.
The 'test completed date' is the date it is marked as completed in the tracker. Please let us know when it is updated in the tracker.
I've updated the spreadsheet.
