Out of curiosity, from who did you hear that? My processing office is Surrey, and I can vouch for the slowness because my application has not seen any progress since I passed the test on Jan 4...lol
Online citizenship test completed, waiting for next steps

Hi minijoo, I agree with you as Surrey office is one of the very slow office in the whole Canada and the most immigrant files in their office. Did you receive an online test from DNCITSRYTESTS@cic.gc.ca this email?
Wow. Thank you for sharing all of this. It's so nice that you actually got someone that were being helpful. I just saw on the Facebook page that there are a few from Scarborough that completed the test before Jan 15 and even in December that have yet to receive anything. It's a complete mess now. Keep us updated.
yup, that's the email address I received my test invite from. Though can you share who stated that Surrey is one of the slowest and has the most immigrant files? Is this from an IRCC representative?
Good that you got a good agent, looks like.
Did you file show as reschedule? My experience was bad .. agent told me that I might to re write exam
Which made me so sad
Don't get mad at someone who has no say in the process. They are there to answer phone calls, they don't handle cases, they have no influence over any decisions on any case whatsoever. Just take it for someone's inexperience in customer care
I sent to all CIC emails (from my gmail) plus web form. The agent confirm that they received my test passed (Tess pass date: 11-Feb) PDF email information on 19-Feb at Nova Scotia office which I sent. I think local Surrey, BC office, may be so busy with may other applicants or not enough man power to clear all the back logs.
No, it is not from IRCC agent but I saw surrey applicant file in this forum from a few years ago
Thanks
I sent only the test email with results. On 11th Feb and agent routed it to Scarborough office on 17th feb waiting to hear back
When you do your test it is at your local visa office level. It will depend on what their work situation is there right now. I have been told the Winnipeg VO is working remotely so they are not able to complete tasks as quickly. I know we are all impatient, I was too...especially seeing how quickly some moved. At the end of the day, I'm sure it's a challenge for them to review the test photos/ID's, do their final checks, organize the oath ceremony. There are other steps you need to take during the oath that will take administrative time as well. Is it what you want to hear? No.. but really...we're at the mercy of their limited capacities. I'm hoping that the covid numbers going down, more IRCC staff return to work and start hustling on these applications. I can't speak for the out of order processing - why online applicants are getting their citizenship so quickly or why March 2019 are still waiting for tests... but it was mentioned by my VO that they are still working within the pilot.
