Wish you best of luck , if you don’t mind how do you know the details of the security check and criminal check under background check , on my status page I can only see BC in progress with no details
I called IRCC desk, they updated me like that, that my Secutiy has been passed and they are doing Criminal Test by RCMP, and they have no control/timline when Criminal checks will be completed

Oh man Im getting so impatient. The last mile is always the most difficult; seeing applicants in Sep, Oct, Nov receiving their invites has left me checking the status so many times a day.

The worst part is IRCC's seemingly random allocation of invites.

Hi Everyone,
Im an October 2020 filler and I got citizenship test invite this morning! Im currently outside Canada and Ive already emailed CIC to provide me details on how I can take the Citizenship test outside Canada. Im waiting for a reply. I was given this info in the PDF attachment I got with the Citizenship test invite.
my question, has anyone done the test outside Canada?Ive already emailed them, would this push my timelines for doing the test? Mine is due between July 5 - July 25
Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

What does your invitation say about taking the test from outside Canada?

It says this:

If you are outside of Canada and you would like to take the Canadian citizenship knowledge test from outside of Canada, please contact us (IRCC.DNCitMISScheduling- ConvocationMISCitRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca) within 24 to 48 hours from the date of this notice and indicate ‘’Outside Canada’’ in the subject line of the email and provide your name, application number and the start and end date for your online test in the text of your email. We’ll contact you with the next steps after we receive your email.

Good, then they will reply back telling you that you can take it, and disregard the consent question about being physically in Canada. Just wait for their confirmation. Good luck!

When did you get the email with the test link and instructions? I heard several days after the tracker is updated. Is that right?

You should hear from them soon. They'll simply ask you to take the test as if you were in Canada. So, it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't see you on the spreadsheet.

Could you please provide your information in the following format so that I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Location:
App Type: Single / Family (# of applicants)
Physical Presence Days:
App Sent:
App Delivered:
AOR:
In-Progress:
Test Email:

Also, from the new status dashboard, can you please provide the dates of the following :

Background Check "Completed" date

Also, please post updates whenever there is one on your application. Thank you!
