Also in the same boat. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do until February comes and even then, there's not a whole lot that can be done. Just take heart in knowing that there are a LOT of us who have been in processing for a super long time. Once the 12 month mark is reached, you should be able to connect with someone at IRCC and get slightly more detailed info as to why your application hasn't been given the invite. Otherwise, it's all a waiting game :/
I'm not sure how accurate is the february tracker sheet, but I think it gives some kind of trend which suggest only 51% got test invite letter and rest 49% is still in progress in 12th month of application filing. As per IRCC 80% of application should be completed i.e. DM after 12 months, which is only 37% as per feb tracker. IRCC should update the processing times unless we are relying on old data on the tracker sheet.
Mississauga applicants are excluded from the 12 months processing time there should be an option to choose the City/Province in their website to be more clear for us,but for sure there are other applicants from Mississauga who applied in October to February /March are getting test invite.
Well, but it's not entirely wrong though; a good majority of applications do in fact get done and over with within 12 months. There can be a number of reasons why any stage of the application process takes so long to complete, and only speculating about why it's taking so long without any real reason is only going to hurt your brain in the end. Someone here on the forums had waited 15 MONTHS for their test invite- and they just got it yesterday or the day before; yet this person could do nothing to speed up the process. There's been a huge push lately on this forum to suddenly "lawyer up" when it takes over 12 months to receive the test invitation. While I agree that it absolutely sucks to not get it yet, we should still remember that the applications on the spreadsheet is probably not even 5% of the applications they actually receive. I think a lot of people should cool off and step away from the forum for a while.
