I have requested a bunch of applicants outside the GTA to update the status via DM. I suspect there are several stale entries here and our test invite (or the test completion) rate could be close to 50% or more if everyone updated on time.

Let's see if I get any updates from them. In about a couple of months, I think I'll start cleaning up the September 2020 spreadsheet again.

Hey Rajkamal

Just replied on the other thread as well. Do you think it's highly suspicious that so many of us haven't received any information regarding our applications? Do you know if I/we should get in touch with CIC, and if we should, what's the best way to go about it?

i've just received an electronic copy of my GMCS notes. Scrolling through, it says that fingerprints were due by July 7th but to date I haven't been notified that I needed to do this, or how/where to do it. Any advice please?

a friend was in same situation and he sent it , find instructions from someone who did it in your area

I received the test request on the 15th of July 2021. I'm not sure where I received it from, but the email says IRCC.Mtlconvotests ..... , so I'm assuming the Mtl stands for Montreal ?

And this is what it said in the instructions :

"You must be physically present in Canada when taking the citizenship test. If you are outside of Canada, please contact IRCC by email at IRCC.MtlConvoTests.IRCC@cic.gc.ca to let us know your expected return date."

Yup. That's Montreal. Mine was SCR instead of MTL. That's Scarborough.

My FP request was due last April and I just received the request last week

Well, try ordering GCMS notes to see where your application is stuck in the first place. It might not be stuck at all, my application was "Test Ready" for almost 90 days before I received my test invite.

Try ordering GCMS notes and see where your application stands and we can go from there.

Congrats! This is a good step forward. I have updated the spreadsheet. We might or might not get an interview (I personally think we won't) and we will proceed to "Decision Made" directly.

Please let me know once you've submitted these documents.

Congratulations, man. Did anything else change on your tracker?

Yeah. Submit these documents ASAP. Who knows, we might get DM by the end of this week. If I may indulge in more wishful thinking, getting DM and oath date on the same day would be magnanimous

Thank you . Nope, nothing changed. Even if they passed everything on the dashboard today, I won't know until tomorrow.
