Now that I'm in the "waiting stage" for the Oath ceremony, I thought I should also share my timeline:

Location: Regina, SK
Physical presence: 1630
Method: Online
Applicant: Single
Application sent: March 6, 2023
App delivered: March 6, 2023
AOR: March 22, 2023
Test invitation window: May 15 - June 4, 2023
Test taken: May 16 with a 20/20 score

Congrats to fellow March applicants who have completed their testing, and Goodluck to others who will be doing so in the upcoming days.

It's my first time posting in this forum since 2018/early 2019 when this forum was like a bestfriend in keeping me updated/informed regarding my PR process. Looking back, It's just unbelievable that I have almost completed the process of being a Canadian citizen!

what is your processing office, you can find in test invite email.

I checked the invite email but couldn't find it. I also logged into my tracker too. Does it exactly say "Processing office" because I didn't see anything regarding this?

I read Discover Canada and highlighted the details in the pdf to review. Then would go over the highlighted items a few times till I remembered them.
I also did practice tests online. The online tests from Toronto, Richmond and other public libraries and a few others were helpful.
After doing these I found the test very easy. Like many have pointed out, they want you to pass the test. Just take your time reading the questions.

Does it usually take a few days for the application profile to update after completing the test? I completed my test two days ago but when I login to my application it says that they're still waiting for me to complete the test.
