After a long time away, today I received the answer to one of my webform, pretty much standard response saying that all documents were received blah blah blah.. since they enter that inquiry into my profile, hopefully something will change or not... I have not received test invite yet nor atip notes.. but yesterday I sent out another webform.. lol

My Test invite doesn't have an address.
My AOR does have Sydney address:

P.O. Box 12000

Got a GU yesterday. Now the profile says last updated - 17th April. AoR - Feb 26. Surprisingly, the last updated date is only for me and my wife's profile but not for my kids' profile. Is this normal?

@Ivani_rocks What is the email address from which you received the test invite? can you post it here, I can tell you the processing office based on that

@ertarun It is expected as it might be related to your BG or test and Kids will not have these steps. I don't think you have anything to worry as you will soon update the tracker.

Looks like quite a few of us got the GU on April 17, but no actual update on the tracker.

Refer to the address provided at the bottom of your test invitation letter to locate your primary office. Generally, Vancouver office handles (FPs), while Sydney office handles (AORs)

I could be totally wrong here, but because this is election year and Ontario has more electoral ridings than any other province, I think that is why they are expediting processing application from that area.. I would also think they are assigning other offices in Canada to assist with those applications.. people from March are already getting test and bcg complete, that's really impressive and unimpressed having something to prevent sending a simple test link... Today marks 3 weeks that I got background complete and radio silence...

Hmmmm, that's an interesting point but I'm not so sure that's the case. I think they just have a really haphazard sysyem of processing. I would think both MIS and SCR are bigger processing offices with more staff since most people live in or around the GTA or in Ontario in general but who knows. If it makes you feel better, it took a month between my background and my test invite. Its frustrating though when you see people way after you get through...

Thank you for your kind words and that makes me feel better yes although it is really frustating and annoying.. just trying to understand what would be preventing them to send the test when background is complete and I don't have lots of trips outside of canada. next week I could be receiving test invite or ATIP notes and then I will come back to update my case.. lol

Lol, fair enough! And of course, glad I could help in whatever small way I can. Keep us posted! I'm sure for alot of people (including myself), having this thread to express our annoyances and dissatisfaction is comforting
