Looks like decent progress speed!

So it took about 10 days for the family member with FP request to get the BG update to completed, right?

I am in a similar boat with my parents application (one of them got FP, still BG in prograss, the other did not and has BG completed)

Thats right. It takes about 2 more days for the status update to be reflected in the tracker.

Canada Citizenship test is one of the easiest tests that you will ever take. Go through Discover Canada Study guide thoroughy. Toronto Public library and Richmond Public library have practice tests in their website. Thats all you will ever need. Roughly 2 to 3 hours of prep.
