@vg1989, with this IRCC's haphazard approach of processing, I don't even know whether we should be rejoicing that we are close to getting a test invite or not!
A 21 Dec 2020 online applicant with AOR of 14 April 2021 received a test invite on Aug 13, 2021. Now, when will a 27 Dec 2020 (6 days difference) online applicant with AOR of 28 April 2021 receive a test invite?
Trust me, even IRCC doesn't know the answer to this question!!!!
I'm 19 Dec online applicant with AOR in March and background completed on June 25, haven't even received test invite yet. Whats going on with IRCC?!! I am so sad
I didn't. OMG I am so worried now. I just want to cry
Oh no! Sorry didn’t mean to give you a scare. Have you checked the portal and/or junk/spam folders for the email? Or Maybe yours in’s a different processing office than mine?
I called CIC today and they confirmed my processing office is Scarborough. Given that the amount of workload Scarborough office has, it might be a long wait ahead before I get the test invitation.
Is there any Dec 2020 online applicant who received the test invitation from Scarborough office recently (in last 1 month or so)?
Scarborough! Well, you never can know, you might still get the test invite faster as IRCC seem to be load balancing files. For example, my office is Hamilton but my test invite came from Niagara. Being that you're an online applicant, it most likely would be easier for such to happen.
Keep the hope!!!

I got test invite. Will do it by this weekend. Nothing other than test invite. They did not ask for passport pages nor interview.
Thanks
They didn't ask for passport pages? Interesting!
Just wondering why and how IRCC can allow their processing of applications to vary widely. Starting from not processing applications in an orderly fashion to additional requirements being up in the air to the officer.
Fingers crossed!!
Good news! I have just been invited/scheduled to take the citizenship test between August 31 and September 21 - no passport pages asked nor interview, just straight to test invitation

I can imagine. I might even feel worse than you. But, just keep calm, it will end well!!!
Hi,
I see there is an update (updated : Aug 24) on the new citizenship application tracker website but I don't see any updates in the detailed section..

Will do, I will take my test at the very last day, as I'm very busy these days and I need to study...
Hi Guys
This is what I received "Please provide colored photocopies of your passport(s) or travel documents which were valid during your relevant period. Please ensure all pages are photocopied: this includes the front and back cover, and each page within the passport or travel documents, even pages without stamps. (If no travel documents available, no photocopies need to be provided)."
Can I know if I have to make copies of the entire passport (stamp pages) or just the stamp pages that are within (time of physical presence)?
thanks...
