For those that had quick processing of their applications; did you guys upload a copy of your physical presence calculator? I didn't, and I'm wondering if that is why my application seems stuck. ☹
Nope. Didn’t upload it as it’s digital now. But I did upload all my active visa’s (US, Schengen), nexus card, global entry card, etc.

Background check completed for quite sometime. People who get same update same time as me gave written their tests.
Ok. Fingers crossed you will get it soon. I didn't upload my physical presence calculator and I also didn't upload my passport pages. Only uploaded data pages.

We can only assume. It could also be that the officer checked to see if you have done the test to mark it because many people tend to do the test on the first possible day. If they touch your file, you tend to get a ghost update. Fingers crossed for you that it is also LPP. Let us know by Friday if you see an update. Goodluck with your test.

My BG check was completed on July 14th and since then I have no change in the tracker. Is it normal for citizenship test to take this long after BG check? I see most people getting them within a week or 2 after BG check.

i live in Oakville but I am not sure which processing office is working on my application

My background was completed on July 12 and received the test invite on August 1 (with an update date on the application as July 28). So I don't think you should be worried at the moment.
