Usually how long will take to invite for ceremony after completing tests? We did it yesterday

Usually between 4 to 5 months, but may be quicker for paper files

You are supposed to email them with your name, date of birth and DCN number. You should be able to find your DCN # on the receipt you received from your fingerprinting agency. You may start to email RCMP after 10 business days, That is what I have been told.

Thanks! how long after you emailed them did you get a response?

Still no test update for you??

Hi manu77, still no updates. I wonder what's happening ? Most May applicants got the test invite about a month after background check status changes to complete

1)Click on the link in the pdf. It will take you to a website.
2)Input application id and uci to login. You will need to complete questionnaire.
3)At the last step, you will click on a button to send the test link to your email address.
4)Go to your email inbox. Click on the test link to start (take photo of Id, your face, etc.).
Good luck

You'll likely get the invite by the end of next week.

wow. I am just surprised to see that the processing time for online applications is extremely slow compared to the paper applications.

Have you had any progress on your mother's application since getting AOR?

@2018cecsep question for you, how soon after you emailed the RCMP did you get a response?

No updates, I have no idea why. She has so many days of physical residence (she was only absent for 33 days in 2019 and that is it) and is working all along even in the pandemic.

I suspect the only thing strange about her application is the fact that her passport expired on 2021-07-20 and didn't get a new one until 2022-03-18 (Chinese passports are extremely hard to get and involve many documents | the consulate was shut down as well). So maybe the citizenship official processing it thinks it is odd, but I did say that for COVID reasons, she wasn't able to renew her passport for an extended period of time (and all that time, she was in Canada).
