Should I receive email notifications of updates to my application? Or does others also miss out on these?

I had an update Dec 19 for citizenship test status changed to In progress, and on Dec 28 it updated to being scheduled for test between the 28th and Jan 18. I have yet to receive any email for the test (as of today 2 days after its scheduled start). So I went to the test link posted here and could successfully log in and start the test, the test start email link was sent instantly so clearly the email they have on file is the correct one.

But not getting the "invite" seems odd, or are they just missing to send it out? I've not really logged into the tracker since I was expecting to get notifications through email, so pure luck that I checked and noticed I was scheduled for the test...

The only email I've received for them was when filing the application (online), so I don't even know which office is handling my application except guessing based on my location.

Thoughts?

That is normal,( should not be the case, buts a system so its prone to errors and malfunctions) the T&C when signing for online application IRCC made clear in the terms, that its up t us to check our status and they are not at fault for us not getting emails and missing deadlines etc and if they refuse our application because we do not get email and did not take action, its all our fault according to the terms, so we have to check our file, at least 1 time each week is what i do, or ever 15 day since most IRCC request needs a 30 day reply timeline. they also do not send updates for the tracker getting updated so you will never know lol.

Good luck, and set a reminder on your phone to check yo tracker

a small part of the Terms ----> do not worry i read everything LOL i never download an app on my phone or computer without reading all the Terms (i know i am weird) lol

Makes sense, but still odd with the test invitation that they're telling you to wait for which still 2 days after the scheduled time has not arrived... Glad either way I have all you fine people that gives excellent information so I could take the test despite not having received the invite email. :D Just hope it's not the same for the oath when it is time, since that is a bit harder to "guess" what time/place/link to use.

Anyone have any idea that can we take test at any authorized center because my wife is not Tech Savvy and she will need help to preform all test activities.

When you get the invite via email reply to them the email will have all the info you need, and they will schedule her for the in-person test, which can literally take forever you will be delaying your application until IRCC resumes in-person test (and they have NO date, so good luck with that)

I believe it's worth to guide her rather than booking in person test

I 100% agree, you should help her to set up, and take her ID Photo etc, and once the test starts you leave and sll she needs to do it read and submit her test, you do not want her looking at you during the test or the cam seeing you as well etc.

wish you good luck, because if you do in person only god knows when IRCC will start that again, since they are still using COVID as an excuse for everything

Please can you share the test link. Also is your application paper or online. Thanks

That's sound logical to me. at initial stage will guide her and once test start then leave the room.
Thank you once again for your help
