Hi everyone,

I'm a July 2019 applicant from Vancouver (although according to the new ECAS system I'm a September 2019 applicant) and to my surprise i just checked my ECAS this morning and noticed that I've been invited for an interview. Just FYI, I completed my online test on April 17, 2021.

Does anybody know what I should expect?

I think the new system says you are September 2019 applicant because they skip the part before receiving AOR. I'm November 2019 applicant and the new system says I'm February 2020 applicant (my AOR month). Lucky you, at least something is going on with your file. I completed my test on April 20, 2021 and haven't heard nothing since. I just submitted another request for GCMS notes, sent an email to Vancouver office and I'm going to drop off a physical letter to the post office later today.

I'm so incredibly frustrated with Vancouver office :mad:

Have you called them to verify if they got your test results?

Everything else beside Background Check is in progress ?
Give it couple weeks, you might not need an interview.
Yes, beside Background verification and Citizenship Test (details in my signature). I already gave it 18 months (80 weeks, 560 days, 13428 hours...) :(

Hey man, I believe we've spoken several times here, you and me are both from Vancouver and received our exam invitations during the same week of April. I'm confident that you'll be hearing something soon.

No idea but just FYI in two days it's going to be exactly a month after I took the test and I haven't heard anything from them.

It's been more than 3 weeks since my wife passed the test and since then no updates. When she emailed the Vancouver a week ago they replied pretty quickly but said that an officer would be reviewing her application. They didn't say when.

It has been 8 weeks since we passed the test, there have been no updates. On the new system only the Test and Background verification is Completed, everything is In Progress. Spoke to an agent today and all they said you just have to wait for next steps as that is the only information they have. At least I got it confirmed ours is still a Routine file. It's frustrating as there seems to be no end in sight!
