Don't recall seeing such a post, and even tried searching...sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you @melito for trying.

During the test, I want to keep another laptop on standby as a backup, and I want to know is it okay to switch to other laptop if I have any technical issue (eg. webcam). Any may I know how to test that my webcam is working correctly during the test.

Please suggest

Thanks

So I am going to complete 4 months since DM and 6 months since passing the test! Obviously waiting for the oath. Mississauga office! To keep my feelings under control, what should my expectations realistically be like? Want to feel better and not think about this all the time

Just follow the spread sheet, and get an idea of your office, max and average time from DM to Oath... not the minimum :)... If you see almost all the people (not one or two) getting Oath after your DM date... then you should worry...

Good news is they're looking at my application! Bad news is they're looking for extra documentation.

Office: Surrey
June 2020 - application sent
November 2020 - AOR
September 21, 2021 - test invite
September 22 - passport pages request
October 8 - test completed
November 4 - background check completed
November 5 - i-94 request (US border records)
November 5 - language and prohibitions completed

Physical presence days are only 1100 but I've triple checked my trips and I haven't forgotten any, but still nervous I've done something wrong. Going to be a tense few weeks :/

My interrogation continues.

November 25 - flight itineraries for non US flights requested (and sent)

Hello:

As far as I know if you experience any technical issues you can relog on and but the time continues to count down. Per the letter I received:

"You must ensure your internet connection is stable for the duration of the test. In case you have been disconnected, you can use the same link to continue your rest. The time, however, will continue counting down." I believe you can use a second laptop as a backup, just have the email loaded and ready just in case, don't click the link unless you have to. IF you have enough data to make it as a hotspot, I don't see why you couldn't. I use my work phone when I need as a hotspot.

AND

"If technical issues arrive during the test, your test results may be invalidated. We will contact you for the next steps as soon as possible. An interview with a Citizenship office and a retake of the test via videoconference may be necessary."

Should take a couple of business days. For me it was the same day I took the test. When did you receive your official test invite?

Congrats, updated.

Updated.
Happy Friday, I just checked my account, test results still not updated on the account. its already passed 4 business days. Is it normal or should I be worried. FYI, I have received test pass email when I appeared on the test.

I wouldn't worry yet. The person who commented above you took their test Nov 21 and it was updated Nov 26. There is no set amount of time it takes. Could take a few days more, a few days less.

Is this for the international trips in and out of Canada?
I dont get the logic. Even after submitting I94 records, they cant even simply verify cbsa records but still asking for flight details from the candidates.
They should be relying on cbsa records but still they ask age old documents and create more problem for the file processing.

I need to scramble to see what docs i have for one international trip.
