Was she able to complete the test?

If the test invite message had already disappeared, is she able to login to the test website?

She will be attempting the test tomorrow, the notification was there but now the tracker itself does not load.

Interesting. The exact issue you're describing (stuck in the Loading page) appears to happen for folks who have received an oath invite and it goes away after the ceremony iirc. Since your wife has yet to attempt the test, it can't be the oath invite, I'm wondering if other issues can also cause this "Loading" problem.

One more observation is that after Oct 7 site update I see an entry for my wife's account in ECAS (not citizenship tracker) that they sent a notice/mail to take the citizenship test. For my application I dont see any such entry in ECAS other than the latest line that "we started processing your application" updating ECAS about test notification is a change they made recently

That happens soemtimes. For some people ecas has some updates, for others only the new tracker changes and ecas stays at "we began processing..". Even during DM, some people get it first on ecas but not always.

That could be why the test notification disappeared but probably doesn't explain the Loading issue.

lol I think they're getting a lot of email inquiries these days. Probably they've set up autoresponder or every morning they sign in and copy and paste the same response to all emails without reading.

May be you can call the phone support.

Mornings seem to be better if you're in Ontario but you should still get thru within 10 or tries.
Sometimes they'll tell "you'll receive a communication from the office" which probably means there's a technical issue or ID picture issue but most of the time they also tell you to wait.

Someone from GTA got their test update today after 10 days so it's still very much possible you test is fine but you can call if you want to check.

Can we apply new Canadian passport abroad after getting the citizenship certificate after oath ceremony or we have to get first passport from within Canada. Is there any restriction? After oath ceremony one will cut PR card and receives citizenship certificate and then one can apply later on from abroad the first Canadian passport. Is that possible or there is any restriction on getting passport from abroad?
Response is appreciated.
Following because I would like to know this information. I am in a situation where i would like to issue my first passport abroad.
