@Lumiere just happened to see that we both have a very identical timelines. We got the test invite around Feb13/14th 2020. The initial test date was March 27 2020 for both of us. Then we got the invite for online test on Jan 8th. And now, we both stand passed on the Citizenship test. On top of it both of us are from Montreal. Rare coincidence. So lets keep watching each other for progress updates.

Exactly, we have the same timelines, the same location and we got the same thing from the beginning up to now. This is an eventual coincidence. Hope we will complete this project at the same time.

Possibly you guys are with the same officer.

Yes, maybe.

I hope you will receive good news soon. If I didn’t email IRCC, they won’t look into my application lol

Hello, if you dont mind, when did you email CIC.

@bonhomme I'm in Winnipeg and wrote my test January 2. I saw on the tracker you are in Winnipeg too, so curious to hear any updates from you. My eCAS is still showinig "in process as of January 22, 2020." Super frustrating!!

Yes, I had my test about 2 weeks after you ( Jan 18), no new updates on eCAS yet since 19 Feb 2020. Sorry, I wish I had more encouraging news for you.

Congratulations. I have almost identical timeline. Have you received an invitation to provide your biometrics (fingerprints) before sending you the test invitation?

Where is the processing at in the Montreal office for Nov. 2019 applicants?

The Montreal office is totally shut down. No candidate from Montreal received any invitation.

... François Legault will surely extend the curfew soon, beyond February 8 ... And with that will extend our deadlines indefinitely ...

Please think of me if you hear anything and I will do the same. It's possible we may end up at the same virtual oath ceremony.

Seriously? This is not a good news at all. So other cities' offices are operating but the Montreal office no? How fair is that? The curfew is after 8 pm which doesn't interfere with the working hours, but I assume they have considered immigration as a non-essential thing?

Their union has a code 699 that allows them to stop working at full pay, so possibly many are using that.

You are right ... And it is even worse than that unfortunately ... The secretariat of the treasury council of canada has tried to stop this abuse of our public money paid by honest workers like you or me by establishing rules for using vacancy code 699 ... But their union - without any shame - went to court to challenge ... To keep their "right" to be able to use 699 without any restrictions. In simpler and more direct terms: They want to fight legally to retain a `` right '' according to them to continue to receive their full salary (money from taxpayers) without doing anything.

This is not a joke :
