No, if you got the invitation by email, then you won't receive another one by mail. Just print out the pdf and take it with you to the test.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANY PROGRESS SINCE THE TEST ON FEB 13. ORDERED ATIP ON MONDAY. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE THE ATIP REPORT VIA EMAIL?
30 days minimum. Sometimes longer. Your background check must still be in progress. Remember the notes are snapped typically a day after you submit the request for GCMS.
Did you get AOR yet ? AOR -> Acknowledgement of Receipt. Status changes to IP 2-6 weeks after AOR typically.
thanks for reply. Any idea how long the background check will take? the officer did not mention that during the interview.
No one can tell you how long it would take, not even the officer. Background check consists of Security and Criminality checks, which are not performed by IRCC directly. Security checks are done by CSIS, while criminality checks are done by RCMP. It depends from case-to-case and person-to-person on how long it takes.
RCMP is very quick, but CSIS can take a while.
There were a few other cases here on the forum where the application was still stuck in Sydney. I would suggest that you try calling the call center and inquiring. If you're lucky, you'll be connected to a helpful agent willing to look at your file.
How do I contact IRCC?
Call the IRCC Call Centre (1-888-242-2100), from within Canada only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm local time, except for statutory holidays). To speak to an agent, navigate through the automated messages by pressing 3-4-1-0. Prepare to wait on hold for some time. Try calling early in the morning or use a speakerphone.
