Hello there!

I haven't been here for a while...

I am surprised that there are people still waiting from our batch...

Hang in there friends! You are very close! There will be light after this long tunnel!

I’m so happy and excited. I would like to thank this forum for the guidance in the last few months.

Any Recent Updates?

I got my GCMS Notes. I found nothing out of the ordinary (it's been 18m now since they received my application). The only thing I found odd was that it said "Scarborough Office - ORANGE TAG TEST READY".

Any idea what "Orange Tag Test Ready" means?

 

[neuroticdan]

Thoughts re: "Orange Tag Test Ready", anyone?

After the GCMS notes I asked my MP to try IRCC one more time, let's see.

The MP got a reply saying that my file is "test ready". Has anyone else gotten a similar reply?

Hi All,

Finally, after a long wait, I wrote my test yesterday and scored 20/20

I'll update further once I receive the Oath invitation. Thanks

Whats your timeline from the very beginning of the process? I m July 3, still no test invite.

Thank you! My application was processed at the Mississauga office. I received my test invitation on Dec 23rd, 2019 so I had exactly a month to prepare for the test.

My application was sent out on July 4th but IRCC started processing it on Sept. 12th, 2018. I had to follow up with them a few times and they escalated my issue. Despite escalating, it took me a year and a half to get the test invite. Be patient and you should receive yours too any day. Good luck!

How did you "escalate" the issue? I've gone through my MP, I feel that's more productive than calling in myself.

When I talked to a person from MP, she said she can try to escalate my application for urgent process when it's more than 12 months. and she tried but unfortunately my case is(was) non-routine. so there was nothing she could do at that time. I called IRCC yesterday and heard that the extra step that put my case into non-routine has been resolved. so I can expect the test invitation in short time. I'm going to wait till end of this month and if i'm not invited, I will go to MP again. she might change it to urgent process.
