Hi everyone,

My file was recently updated stating I am to take the test between June 10th and June 30th. The update took place on June 3rd but until now I haven't received the email invite to take the test. I check my inbox, junk even trash daily to make sure I not missing anything.

In fact, two days after the first update, I received and email to give my fingerprints for BG check, which came to my inbox.

Any idea when they will send the email invite for the exam. Site clearly states I shouldn't take the exam if there is no email invitation.

Appreciate the feedback.

you should have got the email by now... I received the link a week before my test window opened.

You are 'slightly' ahead of me in terms of timeline but we are in the same boat sadly.

*I also ordered GCMS Notes exactly 2 weeks ago. Does not seem to have made any difference. Checked this morning and all Indicators still 'In Progress'.

I also have the same timeline. I applied online (single applicant) end of Oct 2021 and got AOR mid-Jan 2022 and no updates after that. I requested GCMS notes end of May. Still waiting

Thanks I have ordered the GCMS notes now lets see if that would make any difference .

Based on the timeline that we see people posting here, and if the test invites are sent to online applicants chronologically, then you should be receiving your test invite or updates next week (as it seems that people with Mid December AOR are getting test invites). Please update here once you get your test invite. My AOR is a few weeks after you, and at this rate, I am expecting a test invite in mid or 2rd week of July. But who knows.

Do you think the GCMS request triggered movement of your application ?

Congratulations! but are you sure your file is in Vancouver office. I think it should be London. I am in London and received the fingerprint request from Vancouver but the test invitation was from London. and I wrote the test last Sunday same like you did, so fingers crossed

Do you think the GCMS request triggered movement of your application ?

GCMS requests have no impact on processing. They will not speed up or slow down the processing of the application. If you see any movement, its pure coincidence.
