My friend finished her test exactly 1 month before me (May 6 updated as mine was updated on Jun 6 that test is completed) and she got another updated on May 27 for background check completed so I’m expecting I will get another update soon before the end of June for background check completed. Will update you guys if I have anything new. I’m from Toronto, me and my friend both have Scarborough office.
September 2021 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter funloving
- Start date
Not to get into a long, drawn-out arguments but the point I'm trying to make (unsuccessfully it seems) is that your result will show completed after you have taken the test and what happens afterwards depends on the outcome of the test validation. It will stay completed and proceed to the next stage if you pass otherwise it goes to in progress. And no, not scoring atleast 15/20 is not the only reason your test goes back to in progress as you purport but also due to myriad of reasons including but not limited to technical as well as a suspicion of cheating during the test. There are few forum members who reported this eventhough it's a tiny minority hence why I wrote "but this is for the minority of applicants so you can be "reasonably" relaxed that you have officially passed the test". I used IRCC explanation and experiences of other forum member to inform my reply to the original poster. Sorry if there is a misunderstanding but that's my understanding of it.
Good luck to everyone.

I would be interested to know the answer as well. But I think it depends on your processing centre. You can only compare processing times within a processing centre.
Oh wow so you finally got Oath invite. Congratulations buddy.
We are processing through the same office and also took our tests on the same date. Yet for me everything else except Background and test is in progress.
Mine is also Scarborough Processing Office.
Test - Completed
Prohibitions, Background Check, Language, Physical Presence - In Progress
Oath - Not Started
Please share updates

After you take the test, one of our officers will review your result to make it official. They’ll record your official test result as 1 of 3 options:
- Pass
- Fail
- Invalidated
Your application status will show as “completed” if you received a pass or a fail.
Your status will show “in progress” if your
- test hasn’t been reviewed yet
- test was cancelled and rescheduled
- results were invalidated
I just don’t know how you would interpret this but as I understand it your test either could only be pass or fail or invalidated, 3 options after one test is taken. Once it is changed to “completed” meaning you either pass or fail and it’s not invalidated which means it is validated meaning you are not cheating because once it is changed to “completed” it means it’s official and they already reviewed your result and they made it official, also means they validated the result that you weren’t cheating. So for it to be changed back to in progress the only reason is because you failed the test and you need to retake (not talking about technical issue). And I know it won’t be changed back for whoever here because I think all the people here passed the test, and once it’s completed it’s official they won’t spend time to recheck once it’s already reviewed. This is the last time I explained how I understand it’s no point to argue about this.
It could just be my belief about how the test status update works and it doesn’t matter, whatever we believe won’t affect the process of our application, all we can do now is to wait, whatever has to come will come. Good luck everyone. Hope to hear good news from here.

I will. I think one month for background check update, another month for oath scheduled and the date will be 2-3 weeks after that and we should get the citizenship certificate by the end of Sep or Oct.

Interestingly enough, the post quoted below was posted a few comment above yours which is germane to this discussion as it is relevant to your earlier question of "why would test change to "in progress" after completed. Like I said earlier, I used IRCC information and forum members' experiences to answer the original question. As I have learned from this whole exercise, what some members experiences (albeit a tiny minority) don't usually line up with what IRCC says so I try to use both as a guide and that's why I offered a more nuanced response to the original question. This is my last take take on this subject (like I said I don't want to get bogged down in long, tortuous arguments)
And by the way, nothing you have written repudiates my earlier response.
Good luck.

Again, I said not including technical issue. Also the post just said he/she was rescheduled for test but didn’t say his/her test status is changed back to in progress. There is no test status updated again on that post, it only says he/she was rescheduled (my guess is that his test status is still in “completed”) I may be wrong but it doesn’t matter because if it’s technical issue, he/she shouldn’t be worried so much about it so much, just call IRCC and asked why and let them know about the issue. Last comment about it. Thank you.

Is your test status still “completed”? Or it got changed back to “in progress”? I think it’s just a glitch but you may need to call IRCC to let them know so they can fix it for you.
It was like this this morning. I have never gotten any email from irccc beside the test activation link. I am not sure if i want to waste 1-2 hours to get to speak to someone from ircc, should i?
If you are scheduled again then you may receive another activation link on the first date of the test window just like what happened to me (I didn’t get scheduled for test again I’m talking about receiving they link on the first date of the test window) It’s all your choice you can wait or call but if it was me it would be on my mind all the time if I don’t get it fixed or get an explanation for it. I called IRCC before only 20-45 mins but I really think you should do something, probably they weren’t aware of this system glitch if you don’t let them know.
Also can you clarify what your test status right now? Is it still as completed or it changed back to “in progress” as I don’t see you have a test status updated.
The status has been updated to test completed. I scored 20/20. I think i will give em a call next week
