If it comes to you as a shock that Jan 2020 applicants haven't received test invites, you'll be even more surprised to learn that July / August 2019 applicants are now getting test invites. The number of applications processed in 2020 went down drastically. Tests were cancelled from mid March up until September, if I'm not wrong. Online testing is a pilot program and hopefully, they will start issuing bulk invites.

On the positive side, I'm updating 2019 spreadsheet from time-to-time and I have seen a few applicants are getting test invites everyday. Though the numbers are small and not all applicants are on the spreadsheet, it is good to know that there is some progress.

I expect to see some significant progress by mid 2021 and I can only hope that the majority of the 2020 applicants get a test invite by the last quarter and some of them become citizens by the end of this year.

Thank you for your very informing and analytical answer.
I truly appreciate it.

Hi Everyone.. How to check ECAS without AOR? - As we don't have any Receipt number. My citizenship application was delivered on Sep 10/2020..Until now NO AOR or email received.

Thanks for your reply however I tried all combinations. Not sure what number to enter in Identification Type if No AOR received. Kindly assist.
Select ID type as UCI and provide your unique client ID. Unique Client ID is on all of your immigration documents including PR card. Hope this helps.

what do you mean by not working? what is the message you are getting. if it says they can't find with information provided that means your file is not in system yet.
