Many of the test invites for online applications have come before BGC is complete. So I’m not sure if there is a single rule of thumb here. The order may be different for paper applications tho.

Yes! Just saw the update today from Jan 6 - Oath ceremony scheduled for Jan 21, 2022. No emails yet.
Even I would like to know the timeframes! Ours is a paper application, BGC for wife completed on Nov 5th, I needed to submit my FP and BGC was completed on Nov 15th. No updates since!
But glad to know it’s moving and folks are getting the invites.

Congrats! May I know the IRCC office sending this test invite? It should be in the subject line of your test invite email.
I wonder if they are sending these tests in batches. I got my test from Niagra Falls office for Dec 24 to Jan 13 and now you got Jan 14 to Feb 3 and so on.
It took 50 days for me to get a test invite from the day my BGC got completed.
You're Lucky i've been waiting for my test invite since my BGC completed in September 2021. Montreal Office is sleeping......

Hopefully this helps.
Note 1: What is also helpful towards the end stages is your location. For example, if you see folks from 'Mississauga' getting test invites 90 days after In process status in ECAS, you can expect similar timelines for yourself.
Note 2: I personally feel the AOR to IP average is skewed since a lot of folks consider In Process Status in Application Tracker as In Process Status in ECAS, which is not the same. Then again, online applicants don't have ECAS access. Please take that into consideration while looking at averages.

The problem that we can do anything, we have to wait till someone pickup the application and start working on it. its so frustrating, they don't care about our wait or our application we are a number for them paying taxes without getting in return a decent service.

Update! Background verification completed!!
Weird I thought I would be getting test first as that seems to be the trend for online applications.
