Hi guys, I'm new here - but have been following updates regularly.

Here is my information:

Paper Application
Application Received: May 27, 2021
Location : Toronto
AOR: Sept 8, 2021
In process: Dec 7, 2021 ( on ECAS after test was completed). App in progress on new tracker: 9th Sept, 2021
Background check completed : Oct 8, 2021
Test invitation Update (in tracker): Nov 26, 2021
Test invite : Dec 3, 2021
Test window: Dec 3, 2021 to Dec 23, 2021
Test taken: Dec 5, 2021
Test status updated to completed in tracker : Dec 7, 2021

Language Skills, Prohibitions, Physical Presence still in progress.

Application Status is still "in progress" , Citizenship ceremony status still "Not started".

Office - Scarborough.

Question 1. : My ECAS showed 'in process' only after the citizenship test was set to complete. However, the test details or test completion information still dont show up in ECAS. I called IRCC to verify and the agent mentioned he cant see it at his end either. Is this normal?

Test was set to complete in the new tracker on the 7th of Dec, 2021.

Question 2. : Do we have insight on whether dm and subsequent oath ceremonies are triggered specifically in line with when the test was taken?

Thanks all, and please update the sheet for me!

Forgot to mention this is a family application - 2 people. Does anyone have insight into the questions I asked?

Generic message they sent to me yesterday. I wonder how many "tomorrow's" they will keep saying.

My partner, who applied online on the same day (May 26), received her AOR today morning. No updates for me. Hopefully, it comes through soon. Until then, I will keep refreshing my inbox and junk email folders every hour.

My partner got an update in the online tracker. Her test is scheduled between Jan 28 and Feb 17. Updated the tracker spreadsheet.

Please add to the tracker -

Paper Application (single)
Application Received: May 27, 2021
Location : Toronto
AOR: Sept 7, 2021
Background check completed : Nov 4, 2021
Rest all are in progress.
No test invite, no FP request.

There is no update in my tracker since Nov 4.
Is this normal? No update for more than 2 months? Any one experiencing the same?

How do I find out which office is processing my file?
