I applied in 2022.
Yes, I took my test outside Canada. I sent an email explaining why I am taking the test outside Canada (just before the test). I am not sure if that helped or not.
Where is your processing office?

Thanks for the response. I did the test in September, my processing office is Scarborough. When asking to do it outside, I followed the instructions in the letter, which at the time only asked for a reply to the same email titled "outside Canada", and my UCI and Application number in the body of the email. I did exactly that, and the next morning they responded, that it is fine and I can just go ahead and use the same link to do the test. And that was it. A couple of days after I took the test, they updated it to "completed" on the tracker. And nothing happened since.
Keep your fingers crossed. Taking the test outside Canada is not a criterion to make your application non routine.
Hopefully, you'll see some movement soon.
Thank you! I hope so. All I can do now is wait, and once I'm back I'll just email them to confirm I'm back in the country, in case that's what the need to proceed with the application.
You are way beyond standard processing time. Did you contact your MP and asked what's going on with your application? I am close to the 5-month mark post-test and I'll be contacting my MP as soon as I hit 6 months.
Well said. IRCC states 4-6 months for oath ceremony after test. Therefore, you should call your MP, or another MP close to you. Some MPs are more active than others. Some ridings don't have MP atm, like my riding in Calgary. He resigned last year.
