Ottawa here too, still waiting for test invite. Background status changed to completed on June 14th is the last update I see. Optimistic me from the last winter thought I'd have citizenship by the end of this summer... now fingers crossed it can be wrapped up by the end of the year, but I'm not gonna hold my breath!

I’m in Toronto and still waiting too. My background changed to complete Feb 11th and nothing since then.

I naively thought I’d have citizenship by now too but all I have is anxiety.

Hi everyone. New to this forum. May 10th, 2020 single application from Toronto. AOR Sept 29,2020. IP ecas Jan 15, 2021. Everything else (Language skills, physical presence, background verification, prohibition) all say IP since then. From what I see here many May 2020 applicants have received background complete and interview dates months and months ago. Getting anxious about delay on my file. Any suggestions whether/how I should reach out to the processing office? Thanks in advance!

Delay might be due to background check. Not all officers allow to take test before its complete. Apply for gcms notes to see if any notes available on why its pending.

Hey all! New to this group, but have been active on other groups.
Admin - can you please update my timeline?
App Sent : May 2020
AOR : Nov 2020
Processing began: Dec 2020
BG completion: Feb 2021.
Others IP. Last update April 2021. No test invite yet. Pretty frustrated.

Seems to me the processing timeline is dependent on the individual locations, but that too is so not organized.
My file is being processed at the Kitchener office- GCMS notes say "Test Ready Shelf" since May 2021, but no test invite yet. I've seen on tracking spreadsheets that family applications from Kitchener from May and June have got test invites already.

Almost the exact same timeline; indeed very frustrating process. At least yours show "Test Ready", while mine still shows in "Registry".

How long did it take you to get your GCMS notes?

Congrats! I've updated the spreadsheet.

Could you please provide the date when your application went to "Decision Made" (This would be the same date when Prohibitions was set to "Completed").
