Anyone who has not received the test invitation email but test is scheduled on tracker? Test scheduled for Dec 16th which is today till Jan 15th.

Same. Did not receive any email yet.

I was going through this thread today and was wondering if the long wait time to respond to the test is a very common scenario. People waited for 2-3 and even more than 6 months in some cases.
The thread stopped in September so not sure if something magically changed and everyone’s application is getting processed faster after September.
After reading through the thread realized Vancouver is historically slower to process. Ah my luck!!!

Review takes time. It's not done at the same speed. Wait for it to complete. If its the same state for more then two weeks drop an email to the test invites email address and ask for an update.

I did my test again and passed again. Just wondering should I sent them results?

I gave my test again today (19/20). Let's see what they do. Did you end up emailing them.

 

[cool_eagle]

thank you. I hope email will come on Monday.

Yes, email usually comes just 1 or 2 days before the test dates starting (though they published on website that it will come 6 days before). However, you can wait till Monday/Tuesday morning and see, otherwise contact them as there may be technical glitch in the system. Also do check your spam folder that it mayn't be lying over there. Good luck for the test.
