No, I did not ask for urgent processing after DM. I was prepared to play the waiting game. I knew they could not delay me forever. But I am also glad IRCC too did not want to continue playing the waiting game. ;)

That was quick after DM. Did you ask for urgent processing after DM?

My cousin failed her first test but on the second take she passed it, after months she received a "Notice to Appear for knowledge hearing and PII" on the form that she received there's also a checked box that stated:

You will be ask questions:
To determine if you have an adequate knowledge of Canada (if you have not passed the citizenship test) in English or French.

They also request another copy of all Passports and Travel Documents.

Is there anyone here who experience the same thing?
what questions do they usually ask?
Is she going to take the citizenship test again via Citizenship Officer even though she already passed it?
First time I've heard of a request like this after passing the test. Was her second test done orally?

OK, my guess is that this happened due to an administrative error...after failing the online test first time, the second test must be done orally. This new invitation was to correct that.
We didn't know she needs to do the second test orally, cos when she received her schedule for 2nd test it was an online test.
Does she need to do another test during that videoconference? even she already passed the second test via online.

This is what's on the Notice she received:
You will be ask questions:
To determine if you have an adequate knowledge of Canada (if you have not passed the citizenship test) in English or French.

It's confusing, but better to be prepared for some questions. During the pandemic they allow only one test, and then an interview for the second. Before the pandemic, there was two tests before the interview. Also, even if they passed the 2nd test, they maybe still have doubts about the validity of results.

Yes. This is the oral test. It is also multiple choice.

Just have your wife show up at the assigned time. Is it still over Microsoft Teams?

My prohibitions activity status was updated in late August and my process is still "In Progress".

I wonder how much longer I will have to wait after my application status gets updated to "Decision Made".

Hello! I went to check my status since I took my test way back in August. It was exciting to see it was updated today...but there was no change in any status other than test and background that have been completed for some time. No email received either for next steps. Anyone have the same thing happen to them?
