Thanks , did you find similar cases have the same time line. 6 months after the BG is completed after FB.
It all varies by the local office processing your application, it could be 3, 4, 6, 8 weeks, or months, also varies if it is online or paper. Hopefully, you will hear from them soon!

Hello, does anyone has their processing office Sydney? No update since AOR?
Sydney, NS is the office where we all sent our paper applications, they are responsible for reviewing the completeness and accuracy of the documents submitted and sending AOR, after that the file is transferred to your local processing office, are you from Sydney, NS?

Hi There,

I also cleared the test on 18th Feb and my spouse cleared it on 15th Feb. However, our test status is still showing in progress. Is this something to worry about? Shall I call IRCC? Please advise

Another QQ, How long is it taking these days for the oath invitation after the test status is completed?

Thanks!

Hi!
To be honest i was not expecting the test status to be change to complete this quickly. Usually it takes based on the excel from 1 week to 4-6 weeks or sometime few months. As long as you have the temporary result confirmation and they do not contact you to redo the test you are good. I know it’s not logic that all files are processed the same way

It all varies by the local office processing your application, in some cases, it is updated within a few days, others have reported an average of 3 - 4 weeks and others have been waiting months. Hang in there, it will be updated soon.

Do you know which is the office processing your application? you can get some trends by reviewing the tracking spreadsheet.

Hello everyone... my timeline is as follows:

Applied on 16 April 2021 (Online), AOR August 25, Test taken Dec 18, Updated on Tracker Dec 21. Since then no update. From test invite email looks like its Montreal office.

My PR card will expire in May 2022.. should I renew the card now or I should wait more? I saw some people were asked to provide Passport pages copy.. I was not asked for it. But should I just sent those upfront? Will that expedite the other checks somehow? Any suggestions?

No need to renew your PR card you will cut it in half anyway.
I applied with expired PR card and every thing is fine.
To renew it it take at least 120 days I think your citizenship will be finalized before that.
