Hey guys, just a question. I received a completed BG check on September 15th. Just got my test invite for November 12- December 2nd today. Once I do the test and complete it, how long would it take after passing the test to get the ceremony invite?

I got an update to provide FP on Nov 9 but have not received any email yet. How long does it take to receive the email instructions?

You will receive the email with instructions from IRCC Vancouver, 1 or 2 days after the update in the dashboard.

It is hard to predict it all depends on the local office processing your application,it could within weeks or months. Good luck with the test.

Read Discover Canada at least twice.

This is a sticky thread in this forum, it has a summary of the book in English and French and a lot of websites to practice sample tests.

Notes from Discover Canada and Sample tests.

There are a lot of resources on Youtube, audiobooks, practice tests, etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, @Strongfaith42 there has been some updates for my application:

I have updated the spreadsheet. You will receive the actual test invite 1 o 2 days before Nov 12, please let me know once you have received the test email and when you have passed. Thanks

Just got the invitation to take the test. Not the best timing as we just moved to BC and will be busy for a few weeks but anyway will try!

Thanks for the info. You have been so kind in helping us in this forum.

If I get FP from Vancouver, would I be correct to say my app will be processed in Vancouver?

I am a bit nervous and I still have not read the book and I have scheduled for test and please I need your kind advice for the test. Which is the best website that has a sample for the test and will be much closer to the real test? For sure I will read the book first but I need to do training before the test!

The spreadsheet is updated. What is your test window? When was your BG set to complete?

we applied with paper application for family of 3. The application was delivered on Apr 15 and AOR came on July 23.

The new tracker says that application is in process starting June 2nd and the ECAS says they started processing it effective Sep 9th.
I am not sure why nothing has been completed so far. Do we know if this is normal?

Test window is November 12, 2021 and December 2, 2021 and BG set to complete on September 23rd.
Yes I have the book and will probably use the audio book for a couple of weeks before taking the test.

I just did some sample test and initially got 13 or 14 out of 20. I am now getting around 17 or 18.
