Don't worry. Up to 2 and half months after AOR waiting for test is ok. I am guessing you should get test and background at the same time. It's a good sign you haven't got Fingerprints request

Question about fingerprints and background check. Every few years, I have to do an RCMP vunerable sector check to volunteer at my kids school. My name is close enough to someone with a warrant that I have to get fingerprinted everytime. Our birthdays don't match its just first and last name match. Our local police office says this actually happens a lot on VS checks.

I'm just curious, does anyone have any data points or similar experiences where this issue also likely triggers a FP check with IRCC?

Looks like its out of Quebec given the french used (examens and equipe). When did you apply

All govt emails from accounts like this are bilingual - and as you can see it has English too. Not specific to Quebec at all.

Is it possible to get test invitation from Scarborough(SCR) office and when I called IRCC , they say the processing office is Vancouver. In which scenario does that happen?

Any idea which office this could be then?

Is it possible to get test invitation from Scarborough(SCR) office and when I called IRCC , they say the processing office is Vancouver. In which scenario does that happen?

Yes, it's possible. Personally I'm increasingly skeptical the 'office' designations that they make have any specific meaning except some sub-specialization in certain steps (which may change any time) and for things physically located (eg in-person oath ceremonies). We got oath invites from Scarborough as in GTA.

Any idea which office this could be then?

No. Not that I think it matters. It may be an account used (somewhat like a bot) to send test invites, so it's possible it's really just a server.

As above: I think they're increasingly using specialized accounts and functions which may or may not have any meaningful geographic 'office' attached to it. Even those offices that do have some geographic thing may have employees working from elsewhere.

I did, they said there is nothing unusual in the file, so just wait.

I think it's mississauga office, because 2023 my husband applied that was mississauga aswell
