This is definitely a lottery system just getting your online tracker updated is luck, getting a test invite one year or less after you apply it like winning Lotto max.
A good number of September 2020 applicants have received test invites. It is still 6% of the total applicants on the sheet but the number of 'blue' entries in the sheet is growing quickly. I'm patiently waiting for mine anytime in the next 2 months.

IRCC definitely has been giving out a lot of test invites & I believe they're out of pilot at this point. But what I am most interested in seeing is how quickly they will clear post test completion backlog.

Update on my application:

4. We sent you correspondence on April 26, 2021. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

I am being asked to provide FP, and hard and soft-colored copies of my two passports (i have two different nationalities).. How come my wife who also has two different nationalities did not get asked for either copies of passports or FP?
My BG check has been updated to “Completed” today, June 8, 2021. Waiting on test invite now..

When did you provide FP? Curious to know how long IRCC updates the application after FP submission.. thanks!
Hi,
I provided FP on 13th April, RCMP sent them on 26th April and those were updated on 10th May. So more or less its one month procedure subject to no criminal record .

Thanks.

I have been waiting for a while now post test. It definitely seems like an interview or oath is rare for post April 2020 candidates. Likely a new backlog is being created at the post test phase especially as for tests it is automated to a large extent. For an Oath and Interview you actually need an officer to spend some time. Fingers crossed, but this waiting at each stage is getting on my nerves. I rather they just finish a certain set of candidates completely rather than randomly sending tests and having us wait all over the place.

There is a long wait between test and oath?

Yes, looks like the only ones who are getting interview or oath invites quickly are 2019 candidates and maybe some Jan/Feb 2020 candidates post test. Please refer to the spreadsheet post April or May 2020 in terms of how many have taken test, when they took it and so far have not received any updates on either interview or Oath. That is a good sample to provide indication on what is going on.

Both myself and my wife completed test April 16th, radio silence since then.

There is 90 days between test and oath so I guess need to give it some time.

What do you mean 90 days in between them? There are no clear indication anywhere that they adhere to any timeline. If they passed lots of application tests right now they will just transfer the backlog to the oath stage, which is not better not worse in any way. It is still a backlog.
