Congratulations to everyone seeing some progress with their applications. We submitted our application June 2021, received AOR in September, and background verification completed on Nov 11, 2021. Since then, there has been no update on our application. We have not received a test invite and it's almost a year since we submitted.
I am pretty sure calling or contacting IRCC would not change anything, I just wanted to vent and celebrate with the people that have taken their oaths and those planning to

All the best.
