Are you like an immigation firm or smtg ? I checked your history and you have lot of posts on differnet dates (even years) about "your" citizenship applications ?!

Otherwise congrat for BG check, that was fast ig, which office you got test invite from ?
Haha no. I tracked my previous citizenship application, PR and other applications and this one is my wife's Citizenship. The test invite is from Scarborough.

Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai réussi mon éxamen aujourd'hui avec une note parfaite vingt sur vingt. :) Ça m'a pris environ 5 minutes. L'éxamen était bien plus simple que ce que je m'attendais. J'ai utilisé les ressources ci-dessous pour me préparer à l'éxamen:
- le guide d'étude officel (bien sûr ;))
- canadacitizenshipstudyguide.com (gratuit)
- citizentest.ca (payant; pour être clair, j'ai aucune association avec ce site et vous pouvez facilement en trouver d'autres qui sont semblables)

Et ensuite, ce qui m'a aidé enormément c'était que je m'intéressais déjà à l'histoire de la colonisation il y a longtemps. L'histoire triste et pénible des peuples autochtones des deux continents Américains me vraiment tient à cœur. Pour ceux qui s'y intéressent, je vous recommanderai le livre de Serge Bouchard et Marie-Christine Lèvesque intitulé « Ils étaient l'Amérique » (tome 3 de la trilogie des Remarquables Oubliés qui se focalise sur la colonisation de notre pays).

Toutes les sections de ma demande restent « En cours ».

I have passed the citizenship exam today 20/20. All steps on my application are still "In Progress."

J’ai reçu l’invitation pour l’examen par courriel aujourd’hui. Je trouve ça intéressant que l‘avis de convocation m’a été envoyé de la part d’IRCC Manitoba (Planification CIT MBSK RN) bien qu’il soit le bureau de Vancouver qui s’occupe de ma demande.
I have received the test invite by email today.

Timeline is only a few steps so far:

Dec 3, 2023: Submitted application online
Dec 20, 2023: Received acknowledgement letter
Feb 6, 2024: Received email to take online test

I just signed up for the status tracker and all the items say "In Progress" though, so I don't know how far it actually is from completion? I think their website estimated around 2 years though I don't know how long it takes people here.
Feb 18, 2024: Passed the online test with 19/20 :D Although I was talking to myself a bit during the test.. i hope they don't think i was talking to someone else lol.

Every other item is still pending for me though. No fingerprint requests, background check, physical presence, language, prohibitions are all in progress. Hope its not stuck somewhere..

Hello Peeps...
I got FP request on Feb 14th on my Tracker profile, but I have yet to get the letter or email (today is the 19th).
Is this normal, or should I try and reach out to IRCC?
Also, is it possible to have the FP done without the letter?
Thanks for your inputs :)

The fingerprint agency asked me for the letter.
The letter will contain the IRCC office where the FP report would be sent - so just wait for the letter. Why take chance to send FP without letter.

The only thing you really need from the letter is the address to which you must ask the RCMP or the third party agency (who actually just forwards your FPs to the local RCMP) to send the results. It’s the RCMP Ottawa office that actually mails out the results. The other piece of information that must be associated with your FPs is your request number that starts with “C” and you should already have this. So, in theory, if you know which IRCC office is handling your request, someone here should be able to provide you with the address.

For the Vancouver office, eg, the address is:
IRCC Vancouver
200-877 Expo Blvd.
Vancouver, BC
V6B 8P8.

Maybe a silly question but have you checked your junk mail folder?

Personally, I’d reach out to them. You have 30 days from the date of the request to get your FPs taken. Even if they take a week to respond to a case, you’d still be within the window.
