I am starting to think that I may be one of the unlucky ones as well. June 2021 applicant. I had my Background Check completed in November. Radio silence since then. IRCC needs to seriously correct the way they process applications. Zero transparency, lackadaisical, and a "trust me bro" attitude when it comes to providing any information.

Also, why are agents who deal with Citizenship getting involved in other applications? What does a war in Ukraine have to do with my application that I worked hard for and paid them to process? What they need to do is hire more people, create a department that deals with emergencies, like the situation in Ukraine, Afghanistan, etc., without putting our applications in limbo as well as to clear that backlog.
2020 May applicant here. Still waiting...

Only time I emailed - the test invitation email reply button -was two or three days after the test when I got really anxious when I did not receive the 'completed' status and got an immediate reply the next day that an officer will review and accordingly update the file, pretty standard and generic reply I would say and then I thought I would just be patient and wait because I have seen a few others who saw the status change to completed after 5 to 7 weeks and some even had all the remaining milestones completed all at once between a month to three months time. However, some have been waiting endlessly like one guy I saw was in an unfortunate situation of waiting endlessly for months together. Honestly, I dont know what to expect and waiting how long would be ideal before I initiate a contact again.
I think i will just remove my mind. I want to believe they won't invalidate the test else they would have at least communicated that to us since. IRCC has ensured that we can't understand the process by making sure that they will not follow any pattern. Things would have been easier for us if we can establish a pattern for their processes but unfortunately that's not the case. Let's hope for the best.

For those that did NOT have to retake the test for any kind of known/unknown reason, which ID did you use?

I purposefully used my Health Card because the text on it is the largest of the possible ID's (PR, drivers license).

You are absolutely right. We just would have to wait it out I am afraid and hope we come out of this nightmarish situation sooner than later.

hey guys, I took the online test today and passed.
However, I made one mistake and I forgot to take picture of my photo ID and instead took mine (silly me).
1. I think my test results will be invalidated. Is that correct?
2. If so, then what are the next steps? Will IRCC contact me or do I need to contact them?
3. Any idea how long it takes to get the test invite again if the results are invalidated?

Thanks a bunch in advance!!
What is ur update now? Same as me silly me!

I took the test today, on the last day of the test window, from outside of Canada.

I had emailed them THREE TIMES to tell them that I'm outside and never heard back, so I just went ahead and took the test without their response.

Shouldn't be a big deal.

Hey guys, I'm wondering if it is ok do not receive any email notifications after completing the test? I remember the last page showed my results, saying they are not official yet, etc, and I clicked "Exit" button, and that's it? :rolleyes:
