Hi all,

I got my GCMS notes and according to it my file is still with CPC Sydney (primary office), secondary office is Missisauga.
No other valuable info has been found, except the due date for checks were set to Feb 2022. Ugh!

Ignore those due dates. Due dates, usually, are set by default to 10 months after the "In Process" date on ECAS. Things could happen sooner than that.

Are you a family applicant? I had similar notes and not even sure if our cases have been picked up by some one in our local office.....

@rajkamalmohanram thanks, I hope that's the case, I was just disappointed that my file is still in Sydney, location CST.
@OllySyd no, I'm not a family applicant

Mine was not transferred for 6 months after AOR when later applicants got their file transferred before mine. Not sure whats the logic but some files get stuck. No idea why.

May be they will start processing applications centrally.

Hey Guys,

Tragedy of my life.

Appeared for citizenship test on Sunday morning. scored 20/20. However I have this damn anti virus.. when test started it popped up some notification saying there is webcam access. In hurry, I just closed that anti virus popup.. and then immediately on test window screen a red box came if I was out/ if am back in? Its like the system of IRCC suspected cheating as I clicked on other link/tab/program. I closed it in a split second. However, i think damage was done.

Even though, I have completed the test successfully and received the email, my tracker has not been updated to citizenship test complete even after 24 hours whereas my friends tracker updated within 24 hours.

I sent them a webform, explaining about my situation, but I guess I will have to take the retest. Still waiting to hear from the IRCC.

Lesson learnt - Disable the antivirus before the test.

What do you guys think?

If it was only a split second, that should not have caused any issues. The webform was unnecessary. Test status doesn't get validated in a couple of days for everyone. Some people wait for 10 days and others wait for a month. There are a few instances where applicants have waited several months if I recall correctly.

You should see the test validated soon enough. Good luck

This is so sad, I had status update 2 days after my test, so you might have to wait for some days. Good luck :)

Hey guys! I messed up someone's date on the spreadsheet by accident. Sorry about that! I was trying to enter my own date but my phone was very buggy and ended up changing someone else's date. I couldn't undo it because the phone crash.
The entry is for @stranger2904 and I accidentally changed the test letter date to Nov 2021. Sorry again!!

I can not be specific about questions as per about 12 different checkboxes I had to click :) but I do believe that just - knowing geography (provinces and their capitals as well as how they grouped) and going through notes from https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/notes-from-discover-canada-preparation-for-the-citizenship-test.734507/ - 2 times right before the test - should be more than enough to get you above 75%. And don't rush - always read all options some of them might be very similar but one is right and one is wrong.
