Last update was February 3rd, background completed and pin drop silence since then.
I guess everyone has a different timeline but getting an email like that was weird considering I am not a newcomer anymore and been in Canada a while now. No update since that email. Anyway, all the best! :)

Admin Please update in excel sheet:

Online Application
Surrey
Application sent: Aug 18 2021
AOR: 22 Oct 2021

All steps are in process though even BG check. What is ghost update? Does that mean an officer has been assigned to my application? thank you!

Cool mate! Yeah, an officer has been assigned to review your application. You better start preparing for your test over the weekend :)

Wow thats new info. So how did you get the link to the test website?
its a public link anyone can access, but wont be able to go inside if you arent taking it within your scheduled period. Confirmed with the IRCC agent too.

Hey everyone. Just completed my test now. I did realize as part of the signing in process they send you a link so I had to open another tab to access it and forgot to close it. Hopefully it will be ok since I haven’t switched tabs during the test itself. Anyway will see in a few days hoping it’s ok.

You aren't alone.
It's now a morning ritual to wakeup, check the official portal and see no updates for almost 5 months. That morning disappointed! ;)

All of my friends who applied after me through paper format have now finished their citizenship test too. Hope we can all at least do the oath together.
IN my case, it is a paper application but no update after my BG got completed in DEC 2021 :( .MAny of my friends who applied after me online and paper have got their test invites. Keeping myself positive!

The latest paper application that was processed at Mississauga as per our spreadsheet is with AOR dated 29th October. So you are only a couple of weeks away if the processing centres work with the current pace.

With the recent situation in Ukraine and Afghanistan, there could be more delays in normal applications as priority has to be given to the refugees, who are looking for a safe country to live in. So all we can do for now is wait with patience for the next step and prepare to take the test at the earliest time slot provided.
