Same. 15+ months and no test yet.

Do they also give you the "background check" response?

Do they also give you the "background check" response?

Yes

 

[sarafandee]

Yes

That's lame, very lame. I was informed by a lawyer here that when such cases happen, it's because a request was sent to an external partner (interpol, FBI, etc), and they didn't give a response yet. It appears that IRCC cannot pressure those external partners with a response, they simply wait for them to release the response. The IRCC officer doesn't do much in this case, he checks your file once every 3 to 6 months, and if he/she finds no response, they put a note to check it again in another 3 to 6 months.

Why not use IRCC WEBFORM? That way you have documented evidence that you you informed IRCC about your travel changes (absence)... opposed to a letter that no one would acknowledge? I have used Webform to inform IRCC about my travel outside Canada and they showed in my GCMS notes

15 Months and still in process.
Test passed on 16 of April 2019.

 

[mafshinfar]

I passed the test at 16 of April 2019 and I have not receive any new update on my application.
After 6 weeks from the test date I dont know how long should I wait more.
My application status is on In process for more than 13 months.

The full application had been received on 22 of March 2018.
after 14 months it is very disappointing.

Do anybody else has the same situation?

At least they called you for the test, I am in process since Feb 2018 without a test invite. You'll get it soon, security check is still pending it seems.
