NO Email of Updates
Who else is facing this issue, along with some other people I see update on my online tracker however, I have got no email. This is ridiculous. What If I get test invite and I missed it ?
Appreciate that! Thank you for your response.
Well, I guess the bottleneck here is FP and apparently I wouldn't be able to proceed with FP submission without the letter! I also realized I can do the test as it appears to be independent from the information in the letter the email! But I asked this morning, the agent insisted that I should JUST WAIT and am unable to do anything to expedite the process!
Their system is obviously messed up, how come this is not automated and the email is not triggered with the changes of the status! Then you hear government paid millions of dollars to a software company who doesn't have a physical address to build ArriveCan!
LOL tell me about it, the amount of money they keep investing in IRCC, the issue is as a friend said, Citizenship is not a priority for IRCC because we already live and work here, so the investments go towards getting new folks into Canada.
There is a Manual i saw once i will try and find it, and that Manual shows us the process of what an Internal Agent needs to do when they want a letter to be sent, for example, i saw the one for the AoR, they have to change the status and then do a few other stuff in the GCMS system a long process just for the system to send out a letter in 24hrs after the agent does all that stuff, i think the difference here is these are sent Manually or f not the agent maybe did not go to the correspondence tab in GCMS and entered the relevant info for the system to send out the letter in the next batch when the automation runs and picks up file to email. anyways i wish you good luck i hope they get to it and send you the info by EOD, also if you know what office is processing your app you can send them an email as well if you have the contact info
Good luck

The test window is 21 days, so if 72hrs pass and you do not have an email, they contact the office handling your file, or IRCC contact centre and they will send a note to the office processing your application. if you cannot get them Via phone, contact them via webform, and they will reset the test window for you, as it was not a fault of your own but an error with either their system or agent. no need to worry, its just frustrating that we wait so long for IRCC to annoy us even more
Also, use this Link
https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/? and enter your plication number an UCI and do your test, once your tracker update to test in process your info should be in that test system n you normally do not need the letter to do the test, and once done, then print the test and email the rest to your self
read the instructions here

Honestly quite disappointed with the immigration system! I called them today to ask why I haven't received email instructions yet, they said the office has forgotten to send the email for citizenship text! Seriously!? They said they will send a message internally to the office and let them know that I still don't have email instructions!
The agent said "don't worry if you the test window gets expired! They will extend it for you!" Well, thank you!!!
I got fingerprint request on dec 20th but no email yet.

Quick Update:
Received the FP instruction in email today
Dec 29!
Then, I submitted the FP within few hours!
Also, the document that is attached to the email is one of the requirement and without that document you won't be able to submit your FP.
