I did my fingerprint test as soon as I got the letter in February. The status has not been updated yet.

Anyone going through the same? I know I'm still under the 12 month processing time so I'm not sure if I should wait more or do something about it!
There won't be a status change due to your FP being received. Hopefully your test invite is coming soon, though.

Summary of October 2017 applicants (by Date Delivered) as per Google tracker:

Wow, with regards to Oath invites, Scarborough is still very low at 2.5%.

Generally the website shows about 2 ceremonies per week happening in Scarborough..i wonder who are those people being called for these ceremonies?! I haven't seen many August or September Scarborough applicants receiving Oath invites in the past couple of weeks either, and obviously no October applicants too...apart from the 2-3 exceptions which we know about.

I think it just goes to show how low a percentage of total applications this forum represents. That's why it often feels like there is little or no movement. They are working on the 10's of thousands of applications they have in that office.

I don't know if the owner of the status spreadsheet is on this chain or if anyone there has write access to it but is anyone able to update or turn on the autocomplete on the calculation cells on the processing tabs? It seems the numbers on there are not in line with the monthly data tabs.

Thanks

This is true, even less than 50% of ppl on this forum filling the tracker.
 
Reminder: there are often Oath ceremonies which are not publicized on the IRCC website (I have no idea why many are, while many others are not), and attended by candidates who are not participants here or by participants who do not report specific information about their own application.

Odds are high that, indeed, there are at least TEN THOUSAND taking the oath in any given month, and in some months it can approach double that.

And it is very likely there are, thus, scores of oath ceremonies every month for the local offices around the GTA, many of which are in effect unreported.

nothing to worry about, they will give it to you to sign on test day

Actually I did my test March 28th in Hamilton. I was not given any paper that relates to prohibition to sign on that day.
Anyone else took the test in Hamilton can confirm having signed this paper on the test day or not?
 
Hi Guys.

It is been almost three months that my status hasn't changed from "Decision Made". I'd like to get an update regarding my application. Is there any email address that we can send our request to? I appreciate if you could help
