How to select the test interview date?
I have got tracker update, on 30th oct but no email yet.
I think one can pick any time during the test window. There will be an email invite after the tracker update I think.

May I ask if your tracker just got updated today? Have your background verification completed? Thanks

Thank you for the response.
My tracker got updated today, yes, but it shows as below.
Note it shows oct 30, but in tracker there was nothing till 1 nov.
I have yet to receive the email. Further my background check was completed but for my parter it never was, though we both received test invite on the same date.
Hope this helps.
if you have the link for the test invite page (if its open to all and checks in by other credentials) can you please send

Thanks for the reply. I am not at the test invite stage yet. I believe you may receive the email for tests soon since your tracker has got updated.

Was your background complete and test invite got updated at once together on tracker (even though they had different update dates)? Or were they updated on separate days. I’m still waiting for the test invite to show up on tracker

By the way, did you receive ghost update on Oct 30 (since it was the date for the test to be in progress)? I’m wondering if there is always a ghost update a couple days before the actual updates, or it is not necessarily the case?

Hello. I have two updates on my tracker. The first one saying that I will receive an invitation for my test and the second one that they sent a letter for my fingerprint. So far, I have not received any of those. Besides, I took my fingerprints four years ago and I thought they were still valid. Also, my wife applied with me and had her fingerprints taken with me four years ago and on her tracker it says that her background is complete. Any inputs on this situation? Thanks.

No GU, the last update was on the 27th, I check my tracker 2-4 times daily, so I am certain.

Backgroud completed on 27th for me and spouse's BG is still showing In progress though we both had received test invites today 1 Nov.

Thanks for your reply. Is it the case they only update the tracker once per day (in the morning)? this is what I heard but I don’t know if it is the case. Can it be updated in the afternoon for example?

Some people get fingerprint requests some do not. Do not know what is the logic. (some say audits , some say fingerprint is a close match to someone else).
Email is after tracker is updated, may be even 3-5 days after.

I belive the tracker update is not a batch process, but rather real-time. So it could happen later today. but take my advice with a pinch of salt.

Thank you. In my experience I have only been able to see updates in the morning. Personally I have never seen new updates in the afternoon (if the same morning doesn’t have it)

Just a quick question,

I submitted my app as a family on the 13th of September and I got feedback from IRCC that I made a mistake in my daughter's application on the 24th of October. I corrected in the same day and resubmitted it again. In this case, is the application considered new and I should wait from the beginning again?

Hello all!

I have been scheduled to take the citizenship test between Nov 3 - Nov 23. I will be travelling during this time and not be in the country. Am I able to take this test outside of Canada or would I need to request a reschedule?

Thanks!
