May 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[RPS92]

Folks, asking again. Does the tracker changes to Citizenship test in progress before the test invite is sent through email or do we get test email after BG updates to Completed without any other change in tracker?

I don't know about the tracker but I got my exam email the day after my fingerprint request. My guess, like most things, is that every file is slightly different and the timing may be shorter or longer for different people.

Already in the spreadsheet. New activity below:

Test taken on Dec. 14 (20/20) not processed/approved yet.

Fingerprints received December 11 and background complete December 12 (Fingerprints were submitted on Nov. 24)

ideally the tracker should change to "citizenship test in progress" before you get the email. However there has been some glitches on the tracker so rely on email. Any way you can't start writing the test till you get the email.

BG Updates and test are independent, there has been cases where people get test invite with BG check being in-progress.

Hope this helps

My opinion: Adding to what has been said in the above post, remember to check your spam mail. I waited for a week after my tracker was updated before I got the email with the link. ...and I didnt even get the test email till the date of the test opening window (dec 5th) and it came as a spam mail.

I passed the test on Friday but still can see the following in the tracker - It's normal, right?
"Your next steps (1)
Take the citizenship test"

When you say passed what do you mean? They give a temporary score after the test, but your status only changes to complete when the IRCC officer reviews your video. Which could take between a few days to months. So yes it’s normal. If there’s anything they’d need from you, they will email you. Hope this helps.

Hey Admins,

I was surprised to see that Test Invite and Test Interview were updated to 16 and 18 December on my entry (elbob) in May excel sheet

Mistake me with someone else?

Hi. Did you mean you took the test on Friday 16th and got the completed status on the same Friday or today?

A lot of movement on the tests recently. Does anyone have a guess of when to expect a ceremony invitation?

I say March 2023. Hopefully everything will be done within the 12-month mark, even though the official timeline is still 24 months on the website.
