November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[neo2101]

Is it required to schedule the Test during the Test window as provided or we can take the test up to 3 times within the Test window?

I thought we schedule the test but as per the invite letter it says when ready you can attempt the test 3 times within the test period. It does not mention that we have to schedule the test. Am I missing any info?

You can give any time you ready within the window. No need to schedule.

Background verification: Complete (January 24, 2025)

My wife's AOR is 11 days after mine, but her background is now complete, and mine is still in progress. You'd think it would be FIFO. Makes me wonder if she's being processed out of a different office. My test invite came from Calgary, so I assume that's my office. She hasn't gotten a test invite.

It's very odd to me they're being processed so differently (unless there's some problem with my background). I wonder if I'm going to get a FPR and she will not.

Two family members (not in tracker) got citizenship test notification, one got the email invite (test period covering February). The email invite seems to be Scarborough (SCR), even though we're not in SCR. That office have any particular reputation for speed/slowness? Not very many entries for SCR.
