I was trying to get my status through webform few times. The first couple of time, got email saying to resubmit the request and then the last time they send me an email saying like this. There is no information about my status in this email and giving some common information that we see in the internet search. Is it how we get the responds from them?

I received the very same reply from IRCC. Very nice of them to take the time to respond with no reply to any of the questions asked. Seems like it's on a relay, for every request they receive from anyone it's a single email they respond with, no matter what question you ask.

Better calling than writing. You can at least ask Q's and get answers. Well... not all the answers you are looking for, but at least status of criminality and background checks, when your file was last touched etc. You will probably get a clearer picture of what's happening with your application. Copy/paste webform answers are all about nothing. No one seems to bother looking into your file when answering a webform, like... never.

Has anyone else noticed that after that twitter storm on 4th march, no one is reporting any oath invitations or oath takings within current week ? One person on another platform mentioned that he checked with his office and received an email saying that oath has been delayed due to some technical issues and will be resumed after 1 month. Has anyone else heard something like this ?

Is there anyone here still waiting for a second test invitation after their original appointment was cancelled?

Aye, I'm suspecting lots of people, myself included.

Thank you for your reply.

Yup, Ottawa office, test cancelled in March 2020.

Thanks. My original test appointment was cancelled in March 2020 too.

We're in this together.

Even worse, I'm seeing people from our timelines getting invites, as well as people who applied well after us getting invites. The common joke now is that the officers throw darts at a wall with our names on them and if yours gets picked, you get a test.

What's demoralizing is that I've spoken to somebody on this Forum with EXACTLY the same timeline as mine and from the same city (Vancouver) who became a few weeks ago.
