Hello everyone,
I passed the test of citizenship on August 23 and on august 24 I noticed a ghost update in my tracker and till now it’s indicated in progress.
What’s the meaning of ghost update? And do you think that my test is invalidated?
Thank you in advance

Congrats!
Can you please advise the best resource to refer to besides Discover Canada? Are there any tips that you would like to provide for the test?
Also is this test online from home or do we need to go to any physical location?
Thanks!

Hi all, still waiting for my AOR. April 27th online application. Has anyone been able to speak to am agent over the phone? Can you please share a contact number I can use to get an actual person rather than recorded messages? Thanks in advance.

Then only phone available is what they have in their website, you will need to call at least 5-7 times a day to get through.

Has your BG verification completed? If your test has not updated to completed you will probably be required to do the test again, but patience is a virtue let's wait and hope it is just taking more time than expected to be updated to completed.

You could try to call IRCC and validate if they can see something different than what it is in the dashboard, or request ATIP/GCMS notes, they take approximately 30 days to arrive, the link is in my signature.

In case you need this, some resources to prepare for the test below:

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.
