Does anyone know why do some people get their background check done before test and other don’t??
whats the reason behind it tho??
I noticed those who got it done before the test, their applications move faster.
Initial background verification does not pull any negative data. If it does it goes for extra validation which can delay your verification.

I applied on Nov 24 but the only email I have ever received is the confirmation of payment.

Is this normal or should I have received any other type of confirmation email or AOR?

Thanks!

@Chloe10 You should received AOR with in 3 weeks normally followed by test invite.
Oh so that's weird. When I check the immigration website, it says:

"We’re now sending AOR letters or emails for paper and online applications received the week of September 9, 2023"

Not sure if this is accurate or not. Would you recommend trying to contact someone about my application or do you think this delay is pretty standard.

Thanks for you input!

@Chloe10 This is the pattern I have seen for myself and others. Have a look at this https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/canadian-citizenship-processing-tracker

I notice that Nov'23 applications receive test invite first before BG complete. Anything has changed in the process? I got AOR for minor application(without parent) on Nov 22nd and since then no update. I know for minor they just check BG and prohibitions.
