I am giving up on the idea of finishing it in 12 months, since it's just 2 weeks away from tomorrow and I still don't have any test invite yet - when the time is up on Oct 12 and I still don't have anything, I will just forget about it and go on with whatever plan/situation that comes along, if the test is scheduled for a time I am away, I will just email them back and tell them to reschedule - have waited for a year, another month or two won't really matter any more - I am done with reporting/delaying every trip, thinking a test may be scheduled during that time. Life is full of stress already, no need to suffer more from this
You are right. Waited patiently for 12 months. still waiting... there is no other option apart from wait. Looks like i could have renew my PR card which expired few months back. not sure whether i need to renew my PR card. again i have to go with all the process by collecting documents.

Your logic is flawed. Background checks are a different beast from active screening like those conducted at airports.
A background check has a fixed list, once the boxes are ticked, that's all, you move on to the next things. While active screenings require you to keep multiple changing variables in consideration, so anything that deviates from the norm stands out.
A common name like John Smith or Ahmed Abdul, would trigger multiple similarities during a background check (hence fingerprint requests and the like), requiring further examination, while an uncommon name would not. If a person has spent all 10 years in Canada, there would be no need to reach out to interpol and other national police forces for additional background checks, unlike someone who has visited multiple countries for longer durations.
ImageOfLight's comment is very correct and that's what I heard from authorities when I checked.

I know the call center is not very helpful, but did you call them to check? I can guess their answer, but please let us know if you call them and what they say. Good luck.

when i called them last week, they reopened my file and requested for entry/exit record and asked me to submit within 30 days. Also whenever i call, they say no updates on my file.

Are you serious? They asked you to send all your applications again?
No, it says they requested exit/entry records.
