My ECAS portal says "You have been scheduled to take the citizenship test online. Read the invitation you will receive carefully." and a exclamation symbol with "Waiting on you"
But no email for any applicants, I have checked spam too. Does anyone know how many days does it generally take to get the email after ECAS get updated? All app status shown as "In Progress"

Date recieved should be the time your application arrived at the IRCC office. If you sent it by mail then it will probably be a few days to a couple of weeks. If it's online then sent and recieved is the same date (instantaneous delivery)

Not so good news today, March 14, 2022
The following email came, but no changes/cancellations in ECAS.

"You recently received an invitation to complete your Online Citizenship Test between March 11, 2022 and March 31, 2022. Unfortunately, due to a glitch in our system, you will not be able to take the test during that time period. You will be sent a new invitation within the next 5-7 business days. "

Maybe they sent too many test invitations and their Pentium 4 servers cannot handle the load.

Friends, do you see any pattern for the test invites or it's just luck? Mine is stuck since Dec 17. Updates for my wife and son on Jan 25 as BG completed.
