Hey Guys!!
Looks like test invites are picking up in our Kitchener VO.
I'm a May 2020 applicant and got the test invite last week. I completed my test over the weekend and passed! I know two more May 2020 applicants who took the test in the same time and passed.
Today, I found out another family applicant from June 2020 Kitchener VO got test invite starting this weekend.
Things are looking good!
On that note, anyone knows the wait time between test completion and oath?

Hey! I'm right behind you in the application process. I got an invite last week and I passed the test yesterday. Can you please let me know when your status for the test changed to complete? Meaning, how long after your test completion your online status changed to complete?
When did they ask to email your passport copies? Was it in the same pdf that had the test taking instructions?
I'd appreciate if you could shed some light on this.
Thanks!
November 2020, got a test invite today. Things definately are picking up
Hi! No updates yet. My Ecas still shows notification "Waiting on you" for the citizenship test.
The request for my passports and certified translations came in the test invitation email. They gave me 30 days to complete this request. Hope this helps.
I will surely let you know when I get an update!

Seems to be about 2-5 months from decision made to oath. I got DM early August and got my oath invite last week for November 24

Thank you for your response. Can you also let me know when you applied and when you completed your test?

No, I have not submitted the urgent processing yet. Seems like I might get the citizenship and passport by April 2022 inshaAllah.
Same here too I am waiting on the email. I have from November 18, 2021 to December 9, 2021 to take the test.
Final Update: Thanks everyone for your help and kindness and Good Luck 
Your citizenship application status: Closed
Reason: We have approved your application to become a Canadian citizen.
Congratulations!
You are now a Canadian citizen. Welcome to the Canadian family!

Hi! I promised I would update you on my test completion update. So, I passed the test on Friday (Nov 12) and today (Nov 16) my Ecas profile started showing "Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed". In my case, at this moment, background check and citizenship test result as complete. Language skills, physical presence and prohibitions are still in progress. I hope this helps. Good luck to you!
