It would be nice if we could figure out how many people getting invites were cancelled tests; it's hard to tell via the spreadsheet. From what it appears, it seems that they're giving tests to people that never had the initial invite; the exact opposite of what I heard previously (giving preference to those whose tests were cancelled.)

Does anyone have any visibility into this?

Cheers

This is absolutely stupid. I just got a test invite and another finger-print request at the same time. I've got my first finger-print request in Feb 2020 and got it done right away. I called IRCC and they said it's only valid for 1 year, and now I will have to do it again.

Cheer up ! At least you got a FP request alongwith test invite !

Imagine you had to wait couple of months after test to re-do fingerprints?

And Congratulations!

Congratulations and your location is Vancouver, right?
If his location is Vancouver and his ceremony scheduled for April 1st, I would not be surprised if they tell him "April fool buddy, keep waiting... due to Covid". That's how useless the officers at Vancouver office are :D

I have seen another friend got Oath invite from Vancouver office on 1 April.

To the best of my recollection, IRCC is filling up candidates for Oath on following dates:

30 and 31 March : Scarborough
1 April: Vancouver

Exactly. I got the second fingerprint request 2 weeks AFTER my interview. I did my test in January and interview early March. Now I will have to wait for another month for any movement on my file. I would have been happier doing the second fingerprinting with my test. I would have got an oath invite by now.

Hang in there ! My status changed to DM after 4 days of receipt of FP results. So FP process takes 2 to 3 weeks. Hopefully in 3 weeks you would have DM and Oath invite afterwards!

Cheer up bud.

My wife's application was also received in Sep 2019. We received only an AOR in Nov 2019, nothing after that - not even 'In Process' status. Waiting for some progress!

Congratulations for the journey so far. You should be getting oath invitation within the next few days!
