That's the ghost update, should see real changes in a day or two.
I received a ghost update on the 29th, then it showed "background check complete" on Dec 1st. I received another email saying "track your progress" email on the same day. Should I consider this as a new ghost update? I haven't seen anything in my tracker after the 1st.

That email is automated.

I know, but the tracker shows background check completed on the 29th, and "Updated: December 1st". My question is, has there been a different update to my file after the 29th or does it say updated on 1st because of the update on 29th? Because I saw the actual background check completed update on December 1st, 2023.

There's always 2 days delay, very rarely 3 days. If you recall you even had to wait 2 days to create the tracker after aor.

To study for the test, I used Richmond Library Citizenship test and Canadian Citizenship Test app on AppStore.
Was that enough to clear the test?

The second one wasn't a ghost update, it was a real one: on December 1st your profile got updated with information that on Nov 29th your BG check had been completed.

I think Richmond library practice test alone should be enough. I was nervous about the test but it was pretty easy and definitely not what I had thought it would be like. unofficial result 17/20.

I just took those practice tests every day and passed the test. If you’ve been living in Canada long enough you’ll probably know most of the general questions like capital of provinces and stuff.

the tricky questions are the ones where you need to remember the years.

Did you receive any sort of confirmation email after you took the test?
