Weird situation. I got the test invite October 28 saying I should take the test from Nov 30. On November 30 I got another email saying "
We are writing to inform you of a technical issue affecting access to the online citizenship test.
As a result, your online citizenship test will be available beginning October 31, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. EDT. You may access the test portal and begin your test starting at that time.
A revised test invitation reflecting the corrected test window will be sent to you in the coming days."
However, I did not wait for the revised invitation. I took the test when it was available on November 1st. Passed. Today, November 3rd I received another test invitation. Now in the pending next steps in my tracker I have 2 "take the citizenship test" sections waiting for me.
Anyone else experiencing this? Did you take the second test or you'll just wait for the one you took to get updated? Thanks

Hi - I had a similar instance. Received first test invite on Oct 1, then received a follow up next day that a new link will be sent. New link received on the 16th of October. Had two notifications similar to yours. However in my case, I didn't take the test in the first invite and waited for the second one to take it. Once the date passed, the notifications automatically went away and the tracker got updated with my test as complete.
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Hi - submit a webform under technical issue section. Agent responded 2 weeks later confirming that it was a technical glitch.
Thanks!
Hi - submit a webform under technical issues section. Mine was a technical issue that the agent confirmed on their end.
Thanks!
I had a similar situation. I took the test on Nov 1; however, yesterday I received another test invite because the first one had a technical issue. I called IRCC yesterday and the agent verified that my test result is validated and done. Today, when I checked my tracker my test has been changed to completed.
Hello everyone, finally the wait is over. Everything is marked as completed on 4th November except Ceremony. Good luck everyone.

Hi everyone,
I applied for citizenship for my two minor children on June 22, 2026, but we still haven't received our AORs.
I've been following the Excel tracking sheet, and interestingly, three other applicants from June 22 are also still waiting for their AORs, while applicants who submitted after that date have continued receiving theirs.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? Any suggestions on what we should do next?
Thanks in advance!
