Yes, but some people who submited online application in november 2022 can already do the test. Thats why I dont understand
The two Nov 2022 applications that have competed testing are urgent applications... You need to qualify for urgent processing based on specific criteria

West is Vancouver IRCC
does Vancouver process faster? Ours are being processed by Vancouver. Though we're just waiting for the oath date, however, we have plans of travelling home as it has been 4 years since we have not seen our family :(

Vancouver processing is better than Ottawa or Montreal... However, they are always behind in scheduling Oaths compared to Scarborough for example. Lots of Dec 2021 applicants from Vancouver are currently being scheduled for oath. It is usually a few weeks to 4 months from Language, Physical Presence, and Prohibitions being marked as complete. You can check the spreadsheet (link in signature) and I added a new tab "Oath Dates" to check oath dates by location and month

I just called and they said the timeline is 24 months... So he was not very helpful... I suppose Montreal is where the app will be process. Its a slow one?
Eh... Montréal is erratic... slower than GTA and Vancouver IRCC. Hopefully they pick up the pace.
Take a look at the spreadsheet (link in signature)

Thank you very much :) I was also checking the spreadsheet, but all the while I thought that "location" is where the applicants' location in Canada. HAHAHA I only realized it's the IRCC office when I read your reply. :D thanks thanks again :)

It's actually their location in Canada. However, it is highly likely applications are being processed closer to where you live. Not guaranteed but, highly likely

Does the spreadsheet tell anything as per local office? Have you seen anyone’s file being progressed at Sydney office itself?

Hey. How do you know it went for review after the test?
I am assuming it on 2 reasons.
Normal time taken to update test result is 5-7 days
When you perform test, it is written in guidelines that you should not open any window. In my case 2 time pop up message came : Have you opened any other window" and i said No. Guidelines says that it will go for review and you might have to redo the test
