Hi everyone, I am just wondering when the interview portion of the application happens? Is this a separate invitation after the test? Does it fall under language assessment? Thank you.

Is this test in person at some office or is this online?

Before the pandemic it was in-person. Test and interview happened on the same day. Both test and interview is required for people 18-55 according to the programme rules.

However, now test is mostly online. During the pandemic they made the interview optional. However, you may be also scheduled for an virtual or in-person interview depending on your office. Also, I did see a post earlier this week of an applicant called in Scarborough IRCC for an in-person test and interview on the same day like before the pandemic.

Hi All,
My AOR is December19th and I got a ghost update on Feb 14. Nothing changed and I'm yet to receive any emails. Single online applicant here.

What should I expect? I mean usually you get an update a few days after ghost and this seems to be a tad longer :)
