Looking for suggestion :

My spouse did online single application and had her BG completed on tracker with date March 10th , and this was updated on March 14th. There has been nothing about test invite since then. Should She / Can she call IRCC or this is normal and below the threshold in terms of IRCC accepting calls on this kind of timeline.

Let me know what you guys think, more than the delay, the problem is that we are all psyched up about the test, and uncertainty is leading to too much tension in the house hold :)

My app was paper based and I just got the AOR in March so not worried about test yet and that may be contributing to the tension as well.
my test invite came approx. 20 days after the background complete. I believe you should get it in another week or so. Have patience!

Many factors could cause apps delayed; AOR date , the office/officer who process the application, backlog demand on delivery time and big factor is the luck.
Overall no one can predict how IRCC process the apps , I know few people applied with urgency and their apps going slow however others applied without it and got faster results.

Calling IRCC ( might ) help you find out what's the current stage of your apps ; sometimes they are helpful sometimes not just say to you to keep waiting and checking the tracker status regularly but definitely will not make them working on your file to get it done fast.

Regarding the test from my own experience the questions are not easy but are not hard too, some need to review them carefully before giving the right answer. So you really need to be prepared very well and still you have time.

Hint, patience is the key with IRCC!
