Thank you for your reply - it has been 1 month since I wrote the test and nothing yet - wife didn’t receive online test invite either.
I believe there are many more people having the same situation.

Hey even my wife didn’t receive any email invite, but when I called customer care they said mail been sent and we logged in with her details and she is eligible to take the test...

The only hope I have is that my entry exits, from a file I saved in 2019 is accepted. After my submission of the Canadian citienship application, I only went to the US once.

Also, try using the passport number of your previous passports that you have used to enter the US. In my case, my country of birth passport expires every 5 years. In the span of 10 years, I have used two different passports entering and existing the US. I have noticed that in my case, my I-94 entry/exit record were merged for both of my passports. I think USCIS created a single traveler profile for me in their system that is why I have a record of my entry/exit for the last 5 years.

If online is allowing to take test then take the test. Possibly email went to wrong id(if id was logged wrongly in the application) or some other email outgoing issues from their end.
Why do you need to wait for their email when they said the test invite was sent?

Thanks!
I tried entering my new passport number as well. Maybe they have not merged the 2 details. Regardless, I am hoping that IRCC acepts the entry exit information from 2019, which covers till the date of my application.

Hello all - just an update. I took my online citizenship test today and passed (20/20). I took the test in about 7 minutes. Before taking the test, I spent about 3 hours reviewing the "Discover Canada" booklet and took 3 "difficult" practice test just to validate if I have retained what I read. Hoping to see a "Decision Made" in ECAS soon for my application. I have updated my own timeline. Good luck for those of you who are about to take the online test.

Congrats @callixtus ! I hope your news comes faster than mine... I'm on day 23 of waiting for anything since I wrote my test. Getting antsy when I see others receive DM or oath invites!

Hi guys!
I received an email to provide fingerprints back in January 2020. I went to the police station right away and they sent the fingerprints 2 days after i got the email request. After that i never heard back. Do they send you a confirmation email like We've received your documents... or not? Since that day when they requested the fingerprints my status hasn't changed. It just says In process. Any help is valuable. Thank you!

No, they don’t send anything. My status hasn’t changed either, but they confirmed they have the FP when I called them.

Hi, i appeared for my online test on the 18th Jan (scored 20/20) and earlier today I recd. an email with the subject line "Notice to appear for citizenship interview". It seems like the second test/interview (I do have my 4 year old kid application along with mine). Is it normal to have this interview? if yes, what do they normally ask? Do i need to study through the citizenship material again? I was expecting oath ceremony directly

A couple of people have been invited for this lately. This is basically to verify all the information you've provided in your application and they might also verify some/all of the documentation you submitted.

Tell me, do you have a long travel history? Did you travel to the US on a regular basis (for work or otherwise)? Did you have long / multiple absences from Canada after you became a PR? Did you have large gaps between employment in Canada? Did you claim days towards your physical presence when you were a temporary resident in Canada?

To be added to the tracker, please provide your information in the following format.

Should be the normal procedure of looking into the documents you submitted, did they mention anything specifically?

Yes, it is normal because it is for the minor as they cannot do online test.
Before pandemic, people who are minors and who are elders are called for interviews and not for test.
It's not for you but for the minor
