Hello there!

I haven't been here for a while...

I am surprised that there are people still waiting from our batch...

Hang in there friends! You are very close! There will be light after this long tunnel!

Happy New Year 2020!
I just picked up my passport today.
I’m so happy and excited. I would like to thank this forum for the guidance in the last few months.

I got my GCMS Notes. I found nothing out of the ordinary (it's been 18m now since they received my application). The only thing I found odd was that it said "Scarborough Office - ORANGE TAG TEST READY".

Any idea what "Orange Tag Test Ready" means?
 
Hi All,

Finally, after a long wait, I wrote my test yesterday and scored 20/20 :)

I'll update further once I receive the Oath invitation. Thanks

Thank you! My application was processed at the Mississauga office. I received my test invitation on Dec 23rd, 2019 so I had exactly a month to prepare for the test.

Whats your timeline from the very beginning of the process? I m July 3, still no test invite.

My application was sent out on July 4th but IRCC started processing it on Sept. 12th, 2018. I had to follow up with them a few times and they escalated my issue. Despite escalating, it took me a year and a half to get the test invite. Be patient and you should receive yours too any day. Good luck!

How did you "escalate" the issue? I've gone through my MP, I feel that's more productive than calling in myself.

When I talked to a person from MP, she said she can try to escalate my application for urgent process when it's more than 12 months. and she tried but unfortunately my case is(was) non-routine. so there was nothing she could do at that time. I called IRCC yesterday and heard that the extra step that put my case into non-routine has been resolved. so I can expect the test invitation in short time. I'm going to wait till end of this month and if i'm not invited, I will go to MP again. she might change it to urgent process.
