Try your best to make sure it's not blurred. I think I retook the photo about ten times.
I also found it awkward to get a photo of myself. The tool they use is terrible.

The best way is to stand up, tilt the id outwards hold it with both hands & slowly take one hand away & click the picture. Just make sure that your biographical information is clearly visible. It tool me at least 30-40 minutes & a whole lot of stress to do that. Good luck!

Your test invitation is probably coming soon.

Just out of curiosity, was your BG process completed quite early too?
For me AOR : Dec 22. Started Processing - Jan 22 : BG Completed : Jan 25.
And then there is zero update since then.

Same here.

Assuming your application is online doesn’t have access to ECAS, only paper application have access.

Same here.

Is your application connected to Hamilton office by any chance?
Just trying to figure out similarities.
