Physical presence, education and language are in process. I got BGC completed May 16. May 17 test invite with test windows one week after. Received test invite email just 12 hours before the test date started. I don't think I will get any update until at least mid July, I think for online applicants they work in order, people who've got test done from NF office since Apr are still waiting for a new update. Are you in Ottawa too?
it's crazy how processing is so slow it's unbelievable

Hi,

I am an online October applicant,
Aor: October 18th
Processing office: Sydney

Statuses are in progress, there’ve been no updates since AOR. I ordered Notes and they showed that they have not started reviewing my application yet.

My spouse got his AOR in November (Sydney) and his background status was changed to completed a couple month ago.

Similarly, few people I know who filed their applications in November already completed their tests in April.

It’s frustrating that they process November applicants ahead of October ones

Hi Everyone, in the status tracker it shows Oath Ceremony invitation sent. The oath ceremony is scheduled for July 4th. Do they sent this invitation by post? I checked my email dont see anything from cic. I recently relocated to a different city and have raised a web form to update the address. Havn’t heard back anything on the web form. Is there any way to contact them to check if the address was updated and is there a way I can request the ceremony invitation letter again?

Hello Mafriend, I am in the same boat as you. I moved to a different province and I have sent a web form to see if I can update my address but something tells me that will not do the trick. Would you please let me know if you called the IRCC? if yes, what did they say? how can we update our home address? Thanks!

Does anyone know how often FP is requested? I am current abroad in Europe, so will have to take the test while being here, hopefully there won't be any issues. But I am a bit concerned about having to come back to Canada just to give FPs...

I received the FP request about 6 days after the Test invite Letter. However, some people don't receive FP requests and can clear BG checks without it.

My son is an October applicant. He received AOR in December and BG completed in January. He did citizenship test and interview in person at Scarborough office on 11th of May. He received a ghost update on 18th May but test status still not changed to complete. Please advise if any other applicant has teh same experience as I have seen in this forum that test status changed maximum within one week after taking the test..

Oath Invite will sent in email not via post but you might get the citizenship certificate in post but if you have requested for the address change , you should be able to check the address in ecas link if it reflects the current address or old one
