How long after should one expect a citizenship test email after the status update ?

It should be done typically in 2 business days, but there could be exceptions and could take more time.

In my case, I passed the test on Aug. 8 and so far I have not seen any changes in my status. It still shows as pending.

Hi all,

I've been following this thread since submitting my application in November 2020 - it's been super helpful!

I just passed my citizenship test this morning (woo!) so I thought I'd share my timeline here so it can be added to the spreadsheet.

Location: Toronto
App Type: Single
Physical Presence Days: 1,107
App Sent: November 11, 2020
App Delivered: November 17, 2020
AOR: February 09, 2021
In process: April 12, 2021
Test Invite: August 11, 2021
Test Taken: August 17, 2021

I'm curious, due to everything moving online, is there no longer a required interview? Do I now just wait for a decision to be made/oath letter to be sent?

Cheers!

You have to sign and give your thumb impression on an rcmp form that says you are authorizing rcmp to give your fp to ircc for the sake of citizenship application. Its a consent form. RCMP or fp agency will have u sign that form when you go for fingerprinting. Hope it helps.

Thank you!

I completed the test on July 26th and still see the test status not updated. In fact, my test window expired on August 15th and now my status shows in progress. As mentioned in my previous post - it is normal I believe. If there are issues with your test or if something additional is needed from our end....we will receive an email - or that's what I was told by the IRCC agent whom I called. Lack of online status update doesn't mean that you have issues.

I am not sure if there are strict guidelines around when case officers are expected to provide status updates through the new portal. Some officers do the checks and provide updates within a couple of days, whereas some don't. Talking to the IRCC agent, this is the message I get, but again this is IRCC and all conclusions / guess we make are in no way valid.

How long does it usually takes from the test till Oath? Is it possible to switch the provinces after test? Is Oath still online?
