Hi guys I have a quick question- mind sound a bit lame but thought I’d ask. If after submitting the application and fulfilling the physical presence criteria , I travel out of Canada for visit and come back within 10 days , do I need to inform IRCC? Or it doesn’t matter because I’ve already fulfilled the required eligibility of number of days present in Canada ? Glad if I could get a response to my query.

You don't have to inform IRCC about the trips taken outside Canada after you've submitted your application.
 
any word on how they are moving forward with citizenship tests? I read somewhere they have moved to an online platform of taking the test, I am trying to figure out since I now have the AOR , should I start studying for the exam?

I just read they are now allowing people to take the test online, do we know how long after AOR is received that you get the invite to take the test?

Online testing has been existent since November last year.

You can start studying but depending on when you applied, it might take a while before you get the test. Currently, October 2019 applicants are receiving test invitations so if you applied in late 2020, it is going to take a while before you get a test invite.

Is it still in its 'pilot'-esque small-scale stage? That was my understanding of the program they rolled out in November, so I'm banking on the fact that they roll it out at scale to speed things up. Who knows, though - government projects aren't world renowned for their efficiency. :p

Well, there was a document that seemed to indicate the preliminary results exceeded expectations. It is still unclear if the 5000 applicant benchmark has been reached though.

It appears that they haven't increased the frequency/volume of the test invites. This is a spectator's sport - Just sit back and watch :P .
