I finished my test on 21st dec - Team 2 waiting for update

Just got a strange $75 refund from IRCC directly on my credit card.
What could it be?

My assumption (please, confirm or debunk it) is that during the initial fee payment stage, in the fee payment form, I selected these two options:
- Adult (18 and over) (a total of $649.75, which includes the processing fee ($530) and right of citizenship fee ($119.75)
- and Citizenship Certificate fee ($75) - that I shouldn't pay for because it seems to be included in the main Adult (18 and over) fee. So, IRCC just returned me those $75.

Is this correct?

Correct! One of my friends got the same refund 2 weeks ago and it was because he included a Citizenship Certificate (which was not necessary!)

Anyone with AOR in mid October that hasn’t gotten test invite?

Woohoo! Physical presence, prohibitions and language skills completed for me!! They were done on 23 December, but updated on the tracker today: 25 December 2025.

So, for me, everything is completed on the tracker except the citizenship ceremony. (More details in the signature)

For test scheduling, is it purely a queue and wait thing, or it has to do with case complexity ?
