Thank you Shiremag and Angel1719
Citizenship Test is generated by the local office. Every local office has different timelines. Your best bet is to check tracker for the average timelines of past applicants from your local office and hopefully you can find a trend - though its still not any kind of guarantee since June/July period was unbelievably fast.It has been one month since the BG's passing, but there has been no update regarding the citizenship test invitation. How much longer can one expect to wait for it?
That's sounds right... see here: https://commissionaires.bc.ca/fingerprinting/Question:
My fp letter said appropriate fees applicable.
I thought fp is free for citizenship.
Thinking that I went to a place and they charged me 56.57 after getting my prints. I feel like i was robbed. Or am I wrong to think that and its a norm
Correct. It is always good practice to send webform. Just to see if everything is alright. Don’t forget the processing time for regular (non urgent) citizenship applications is 23 months. So if the agent you have got has major caseload they may take their time till the end. Hope this helpsCitizenship Test is generated by the local office. Every local office has different timelines.

I have the exact same timeline - Received Jan 31; AOR March 13; Linked to tracker on March 15th; Tracker says - Application Filed on March 7th.An update on our applications. I checked ECAS on the 11 March and it showed that our applications were received on the 31st Jan 2023. We received AORs for all 4 applicants (2 adults + 2 Children) on the 13 March 2023. I was able to link our applications on the status tracker this morning and Language skills, Background Verification, Physical Presence and Prohibitions show as 'In Progress'. Not able to make sense of the dates though as the Application History, shows a date of 7 March 2023 - Application filed We have received your application and have begun to process your application, which is earlier than the AOR date.
Actually, I made a mistake on the timeline. I updated that.When did you receive your AOR?
How does one know which local office is processing the application? Is it quoted on AOR?Citizenship Test is generated by the local office. Every local office has different timelines.

Background checks dont have a universal timeline or trend. It can be routine or non routine. It depends on individual circumstances. Countries you have lived in the past. Countries you have travelled to. Your original nationality. How much of data of yours they already have. For example, folks who go to the US often on B1/B2 visas have a finger print scan at the US border for their I92 and those applicants could be usually easier to do a background check on since US and Canada share immigration information and they already have data about you. Thats why many applicants are not asked for finger printing and they go straight from BG to Test. So it depends and varies from person to person. Everyones background is different.It’s been almost a month since they received my fingerprints and background check hasn’t been completed yet only the test is . Is that Normal? Cuz i see ppl getting their BG completed a day after IrCC received their fp!!!
