I did, still says in process

Then it mean that you didn't get any test invite.

You can confirm this by calling IRCC helpline and the agent can look into your file.

Sorry, I shouldn't have replied to you. You were asking someone else but I think my situation proves that it is completely possible to get a test invite in the email and still have ECAS say "in process."

Just did my online test and got 20/20 on the "unofficial results"!!

Can the spreadsheet be updated with this please. Might help people understand the timelines for online tests and later on the oath, etc after the tests.

ECAS now says decision made (Since at least December 8th)! I'm guessing there's going to either be something in the mail about this since there was no email update.

Its always unpredictable with cic officers. Some officers just make it pass through without more verifications but some do. I feel like we need luck at every stage to avoid delay at every stage.
Is it residency related or passport copies?

They wanted everything again...... things I already included in the original application. Only new thing is the health claim summary... which is going to take awhile now since Alberta Health is having a crisis with COVID.

Why do they need 'Provincial/Territorial personal health claim summary' information? I believe this information was not asked as part of original application. I am confused. Was it just to prove that the person lived in that province? Does the health claims have any effect on application.

On a second thought it might be that they are questioning your physical presence in Canada during the period that you quoted as in Canada on the calculator

I think that they are just wasting time with unnecessary process which is not required and which is not part of rule. They should simply get records from cbsa and finish the application review in just one day rather than asking too many unnecessary irrelevant documents from the candidate and spending time in reviewing these unnecessary documents.
Rule is now not making anyone mandatory to have been educated in educational institution during that period or being employed or to have health claims history. All they require is physical presence inside the country and the language requirement. To verify just two things cic has dramatic lengthy wasteful process and bugs everyone. No wonder these guys take lot of time finishing reviewing the application as they are still sticking to age old requirements of verification processes which was in place when cbsa was not having proper entry/exit entries(like 20 years ago).

There has to be a reason and an explanation. I wouldn't want to go an extra mile in their place. CBSA records not complete? You didn't check the box for them to obtain the records when submitting? I don't believe this would be a special type of fun for anyone to request a pile of paper "just because". Anyways, at least proves that files are being worked on.
