How come some who submitted the applications in November 2021 already got their applications processed? In fact I have seen people getting oath invitations for applications submitted in January 2022.

Isn't there a concept called queue or First Come first serve? This is so unfair...

What is your location in ON? You haven't mentioned about test. Are you done with it?

You should give a call to IRCC. No test invite and background still in progress seems to be a bit odd.
I just had a call with IRCC and the person said she can see some progress in my application. Criminality, assessment is completed. So that was good..

But then she said "Do you know approx processing time of your application? It is 25 months. So it is normal that you have not heard back on the test"

25 months??? I see here on this forum getting their applications completed within 1 year.. How come it becomes 25 months for some??

You should reach out to your office. Did you ask the agent which office is processing your appliation? If not, you should find it out. You can find the office's email here or jsut post the name, someone would know the email.

If you want, you can file for GCMS notes (ATIP) as well.

Will try to find out the processing office. A question though, does sending email to the office help? I mean, do these agents prioritize work based on emails?? :)

They might not do anything if you're a recent applicant or repeatedly asking them status. But in your case they at least might look at your file since you applied a year ago without any update on BG or test. It's definitely worth a try. If it doesn't work then you can may be file for GCMS.

Add final set of updates for me please
Decision Made date ecas estimate: I'm not sure what it is. I haven't received any emails from IRCC between Test Invite letter and Oath letter. I've applied online and status of my application on the citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca portal is still AOR.
Oath Letter: October 11, 2022
Oath Ceremony: October 21, 2022
Updated. Congratulations!
