Finally got a series of update on my application:
Not sure if I'd mentioned my entire timeline before (it was pretty erratic), so here it is:
Application Submitted: March 31st, 2021(Online)
AOR: Aug 24, 2021 (took a while, but..)
Background: November 5th, 2021
Test Date: November 19th, 2021
Test Status Update: November 22nd, 2021
Radio silence ever since....and then:
Prohibition, Physical and Language: March 22nd, 2022
Oath Update: March 23rd, 2022
Oath Scheduled: April 14th, 2022
My timeline, it seemed to me, was quite different from several people on this forum. I almost gave up on getting a timely response, since I am with Scarborough office and they're infamous for being delayed. I read Strongfaith42 recommend someone to raise a webform or call, as it might shuffle up things a bit. And I guess shuffle it did, I reluctantly raised a webform dated March 21st, without expecting a response, just penned down my pent up frustration over the wait (nicely if I may add). And viola! a day later I see an update, and then the final one.
Wishing everyone the very best of luck, we're all in this together which has always made the waiting period much bearable. All my people with Scarborough Office (still waiting) - sending positive vibes your way, we ran out of luck with this one - raise a webform maybe, we're clocking in/clocked already the 12 month mark, so kind of in the right to ask questions.
