September 2024 Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter Jatt Saab
- Start date
Hi Guys,
where we are now? I got a test invite on email and then was able to create tracker finally. Done with test over the weekend and now waiting for status update on test
@Sandipp @Plants @schilz @Sept2024applicant whats the status on your end
Hello
My test window is Nov 14 - Dec 14 2024. In the invitation there is no mention of "if you are outside of canada"...
My wife took the test in April 2023 and her invitation has this below note specifically mentioned in the invite:
If you are outside of Canada and you would like to take the Canadian citizenship knowledge test from outside of Canada, please contact us (IRCC.WestCitizenshipEApp-
EappOUESTCitoyennete.IRCC@cic.gc.ca) within 24 to 48 hours from the date of this notice and indicate ‘’Outside Canada’’ in the subject line of the email.
My question is, do anyone have experience in late 2024 taking the exam outside Canada with the invitation letter not mentioning anything about 'if you are outside Canada'.
And have you successfully taken the test, without any further inquiry / followup from IRCC ? Please share your experience.
I am in US and plan to take it in US because there was no mention of it, else would have travelled to Canada to take the exam.

At one point, they removed the restriction requiring approval to take the test outside Canada, allowing it to be done without informing IRCC. However, they later reinstated the approval process. It’s best to call IRCC directly to confirm the current requirements.

Glad you were able to finally create a tracker account!
Just did the test earlier this week too, I'm in the same position as you - waiting for it to update on their end.
Hopefully we are all back to normal!
I am not able to create tracker. I called them, everything is Not Started for me. Not sure what should I be doing as nothing is moving
I wasn't able to create till got the test invite. So hopefully you will get it once they invite you for test soon
Has anyone been given fingerprint request within the last 2 weeks? I was asked to submit my fingerprints on November 8 which I did. I called RCMP who told me they sent my fingerprints to IRCC on November 15 but they unfortunately sent it through Canada Post, knowing the strike was to begin the same day. I called IRCC who said they have not received my fingerprints yet. I sent IRCC my DCN number via webform which they confirmed receiving, but they said they need the direct fingerprints from RCMP. I don't know why RCMP would choose Canada Post knowing there's a strike. Now I'm stuck. Is anyone else in this boat?
Test completed on Nov 22, 2024
Awaiting the status update as Test Complete on tracker.
