Done. I've updated the spreadsheet. Thanks for posting the update.
Thank you. When you get the passport pages request, did something update in your new dashboard, like additional information requested?

@rajkamalmohanram I called IRCC to check the status of my application. My application is still in Registry. The guy on call said that Registry means that the file is in a common pool of files and any officer can pick up my file anytime and work on it.
Being in Registry status does not mean that the local office is not working on that file when in fact it is being worked on.

Thanks @rafzy . Makes sense.

My file was in the registry too (for 5 days) after file transfer before it was moved to "Test Ready" status.

Currently, the location in my GCMS notes says "Scanned Files" and the file is in Mississauga office. Not sure what that is supposed to mean.

I posted the details from my GCMS notes (CBSA) extracted on 14th July here =>

@rajkamalmohanram The guy also mentioned that if you don't get an interview request for 4 weeks after your test is passed and complete, then you will straight get an invite for an oath, and the chances of the applicant getting called for an interview or additional documents are very slim.

Let's see how true is his claim (the person on call from IRCC was Daniel) since my file has already passed 2.5 weeks since test passed

At least based on the recent activity at MIS office, that is true. I received passport pages request on the 13th day after the test status was set to "Completed". Several others also received passport pages request around the 10 - 20 day mark.

A little back story. A couple of days after I submitted passport pages, I sent a webform request to ensure that the passport pages have been received by the local office.

I received this response to my webform query today :



Its been 8 days since I sent the passport pages but these people claim they haven't received it. I have sent the documents again by replying to the email I received the request from.
hey Raj in my personal view if they process email first come first serve then you will get new que number before your number was in 12 July now it will go to your new date when you resend the documents and it will process more late May be i am wrong but in email queue it will happen

Yeah that could happen, yes but it is worse if they somehow didn't receive the documentation. I sent it again just to be absolutely sure that they receive my documents since the webform response that said "the local office hasn't received your documents" spooked me.
