If it hasn't changed to BG verification complete in a couple of days, that could mean that Fingerprints will be required, and it takes 6-8 weeks after that ghost update to get the update about the FG. Yes please keep us posted.

Do they again need our fingerprints? That is weird. Wouldn't they have it on file for existing PR holders?

I don’t know it is strange as the daughter is 18 years old and I don’t know if they got her FP whe we landed 7 years ago

Yes, they will ask for fingerprints in some cases, FP expire after 12 months. Even applicants from 2019, 2020 have been requested to provide FP again, even if they had provided those back in 2019 or 2020.

Makes sense. Thank you for your response.

Congratulations!!!! you will need to start studying for the test.

Read Discover Canada at least twice.

This is a sticky thread in this forum, it has 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 a lot of resources in Youtube, audio book, practice tests, etc.

Since I cannot track my application on the old tracker (ECAS) I wonder if there is any benefit to linking my application to my GCKEY? (New tracker works well for me, last updated Aug 25)

Test invitations are flooding January, February and March 2021 applicant threads. Did anyone in April get a test invite yet?

My understanding is that Citizenship applications cannot be linked to your GCKey account, you can only monitor the status in the Citizenship tracker.
