Congratulations; I'm thoroughly confused now as to what's going on with everyone's applications from Montreal that applied in 2019 and haven't had any movement since the tests were cancelled in 2020..

Atleast they started non-urgent applications for a change!

Yeah, but I heard they were supposed to be prioritizing those whose tests were cancelled, but that clearly doesn't appear to be the case. :/

Congratulations

May I ask did you apply with much of a buffer over the 1095 days requirement ?

Did you have many absences from canada for the applicable period?

Were you self employed in Canada?

Seems like CIC is doing some lottery to chose whom to send invites for test...

Thank you!

I'm still a student and I only travelled once (4 months) during the last 5 years.

That's the only thing I can think of - it appears to be completely arbitrary...

Ok, Now I'm getting restless.
If other threads are to be believed people who sent applications online in December 2020 have gotten the test invite!

It is totally random as usual like it was for AOR and In Process status. I am just glad they are doing non-urgent applications. Their backlog is unbelievably huge and will keep growing if they don't start to act fast.
