My citizenship test was schedule on March 24th and got cancelled. No invitation for online test so far. Depressing. Should I contact IRCC?

thank you for the info. Finger crossed

Looking at the Google sheet .

It seems most people who got invites for online test were first time applicants , meaning they had no prio test date cancelled.

Can anyone make sense out this , is there some sort of algorithm i’m failing to notice .

I noticed only one of those invited for online test is from Ontario and they have listed their name in anonymity. Suggesting they might as well just be pulling our leg or might even be an IRCC employee creating a blindside to make it look like something is also happening in Ontario .

Or is it just me ..

It's not logical for one random employee to be doing such a thing. Since it's online test, I feel like it wouldn't matter where the person is from. That said, I cannot tell you why those who have not had a test are receiving the invites. It could be by AOR? I know people had test invites that had a later AOR than me. I did receive my invitation for online test without a prior invite.

I know some in the same time line as mine. but I don't see any of them here.
I hope that's because they already got invited online test, not because they gave up.

Wow what an elaborate conspiracy theory. Folks, it is being rolled out for the first time, so it is bound to be bumpy at the beginning. The government isn't conspiring against you to prevent you from becoming a Canadian Citizen.

Which part do you label conspiracy here

Did I not clearly ask is there is an algorithm i seem to miss .

Life is not always about conspiracy vs logic , some questions are just what the are .. questions .

No need to start getting excited to sound smarter than the average person .

Which part of my statement gave you there idea I’m angling towards some dubious theory .

If you don’t have any answer to a question .. do not respond. It’s perfectly ok not to know everything.

No need to try and sound smarter than everyone else .

Yes it seems that they are inviting new folks mostly.
Rarely the cancelled one is being invited. Here is one example(and i think there was one more during the first round of invites) but whoever we see its mostly the first time invite.

Hi all, question - IRCC website* says the ID for online test must include candidate photo and signature:

Before you take the test
You need
  • a piece of identification (ID) with your photo and signature on it, like
    • your permanent resident card (even if it’s expired), or
    • a valid (not expired) ID such as a driver’s licence or health card
However, PR card now does not include Signature. Did anyone use the PR card (without signature) for the online citizenship test? Unfortunately, my driving license and health card both expired few days ago, so can't use them either now. If anyone has any suggestion, please share.

As they said PR card then you should be fine. Its PR card or license/healthcard. So dont see any issue.
They all know that provinces are extending the expired licenses/healthcards. So you should be fine.

Thanks for your prompt reply! Yah, I am thinking of using the PR card.
