Single applicant

Type: Online application
Location: Toronto
Processing Office: Niagara Falls
Physical Presence Days: 1099
Application: Single
Application sent: October 29th 2023
Delivered: October 29th 2023
AOR: Nov 20, 2023
Ghost update: Nov 24, 2023
BG completed: Nov 27, 2023
Test: Dec 13, 2023 In Progress
Test: Dec 15, 2023 Scheduled for Dec 16 - Jan 15

I got the tracker updated on Dec 15 for test scheduled Dec 16. Still no email received on Dec 18 and I just called IRCC. The agent said they saw from their end the test is scheduled for Dec 22 but my tracker is still showing Dec 16.
I can just assume they deferred the test date maybe today after realizing that they were not able to send out the test invite last Friday. Hopefully the tracker will be updated tomorrow.

Usually from 2-5 days, tracker is updated. your case is different, as they asked for your photoID as well. So give it max 7 days, if it is not updated, then do contact them.

thank you. I hope email will come on Monday.

AOR - Nov. 16
BG - Nov 29
Update on Test - Dec 16 ( Scheduled for test between Dec 16 - Jan. 15 2024) - No test Invite email

So i just called and agent told that my test is (now) scheduled between Dec. 21 - Jan. 20-2024 and he will send me an email and i must wait till Dec. 21st and can complete the test Dec 22 onward.

Processing Office: Niagara Falls

Shortly after the call i got an email with just a general information about citizenship test

Reply on the email asking for update on the same email she got her test invite from.

There is no need doing that. Before we took the test, we were already informed in the invite that they will review the test over the next few months. So everyone should be patient. It can take months, we already were told. If Ircc needs something from you, they will contact you.
There is no point emailing IRCC back and forth when we were already told of the timeline. Stop comparing your processing to another person’s own. We don’t have the same officers.

Majority of recent applications have been getting processed at a much quicker pace. When I called IRCC they literally said to call them at the end of the exam period if exam hasn't been updated.

There is nothing wrong with shooting an email and if the agent feel like it they might reply.
