Seems like online applications have picked up the pace from October applicants onwards.

How about Paper for Sep and Oct are they still being processed in parallel with Nov applicants or Up to mid Dec AORs?

I think it takes nearly2 months from AOR for online. Hope it is the same for paper i.e. Nov paper applicants --> Jan AOR --> BG 2 months later

What is GUI?

Mean in on the tracker website there was a ghost update but no change in status e.g. Background.

It seems the tracker gets a ghost update then a few days later the actual status e.g. Background gets changed to completed etc.

Did you get 2 AOR's for both applicants or was it only one ? I have received only one AOR for me(principal applicant) and not for my spouse. Also, for tracker account, I am assuming you have 2 tracker accounts, right ?

Correct. We both received separate AORs and we both have separate tracker accounts.

Don't worry! They will re-schedule you for a second test... Make sure you study the official Discover Canada a couple of times if you haven't already done so and do some practice tests again

You can see here under the section "What happens if you don’t pass your first test" in the link below:

Here's a thread which has some tips, trick and links to help you study for the exam.

Do you get emailed for the test invite or it is just updated in your application? Sometimes I am having a hard time accessing my application. I did not get an email update regarding the Background Verification getting completed. So I hope I can get an email regarding being able to do the test.

One get email only for test & oath.

I’m very devastated after failing my test .. it could’ve been just waiting for my oath If I passed cuz I got the rmail For fingerprints right after I finished the test . I rushed it when I had 24 minutes left . Now it’s gonna take forever to get another chance.
