They are currently finalizing March 2019 applicants. For March 2020, I would say they will finalize March 2022. So tests will be few months ahead of this possibly end of this year. This is a guess based on their HUGE backlog.
What I don’t understand is, in IRCC website it says they are finalizing March 2019 applicants but some 2019 October, November, December applicants and even 2020 January, February applicants got test invites. I even saw March 2020 in fb group. I don’t understand what is going on anymore.

If you click on the ?, it qualifies this statement with

In the past 3 months, the majority (80%) of the applications we’re finalizing were received during this period.
It does not mean that they are only working on March 2019 applicants.

I just still don’t understand as I don’t see a lot of March 2019 applicants getting citizenship in this forum or fb a lot.. But definitely yes I understand about what you mean by 80%. Just trying to find some hope left somewhere..

*****Hi Guys , Good day . i am planning to submit my application this week . Just discovered this thread and sorry was not able to go through all pages hence posting my question here at this moment *****apologies if it is a repeated question ****

Online Physical Presence calculator --I put the application date as '2021-03-07' and hence the report was showing Your eligibility period is 2016-03-07 to 2021-03-06 . Now in my application form for 9 a) question Enter the "To" date from calculator -- for which i put 2021-03-06. However looks like the From date in the application form is auto populated and it displays Your five (5) year eligibility period is From 2016-03-06 To 2021-03-06 .
The issue here is the auto populated From field in the physical presence calculator doesnot match with the auto -populated value in the application form

1. Did this happen to you guys too ? or is it just me ?
2. I have taken the photographs from Costco on 30-Dec-2020 . Am i still good to use the same pics ? the 6 months period for photo is between the photograph date and AOR ? or photo graph date and Application signed date ?

I have these two urgent questions .. Please help me guys . or please send me the link to the page if it has already been answered . I have not yet gone through all 140 pages in this thread .. Apologies ..

Raj .

I'm wondering the same, as I'm currently outside Canada for personal reasons. Can anyone help with this question please...regarding the possibility of fingerprints being sent from outside Canada? Thanks so much!
Noop, strictly they mentioned RCMP.

Services>Domestic>Citizenship. Also, one of the condition for the test, you should be inside Canada.
Not sure we are talking about the samething here. I was responding to someone who wanted to do the fingerprint outside Canada. The link I shared earlier will help get the fingerprint if you are outside of Canada nothing to do with the test.

As I explained on my chart if you are going to Services>Domestic>Canadian Citizenship. It will show you the Calgary & Vancouver, as simple is that.
