Has anyone tried emailing niagara office to ask why we haven’t gotten test invites ?

I plan to do so in March which will be 3months since bg check and 9 months since AOR

Someone is definitely smoking something at this office. My husband's tracker was updated today, Feb 14, with the scheduled oath date of Feb 10. Either that was supposed to say March 10, or they expect him to time travel, it's still unknown. We've sent them an e-mail as well as a webform. So I guess they are moving, but backwards!!!

They are definitely behind. I have been checking the tracker sheet on this platform, and all applications from Toronto or West/East Canada are moving, and people are seeing progress. I wonder what's the reason behind throwing us to this office?

I got a reply from an officer today. They replied to the email I sent, not the webform.

Anyways, the officer told me I am scheduled for the next test event and to keep looking at my inbox and junk folders.

I didn't know the tests were also divided in events.

Hi Am in the same boat, my wife's account isn't getting updated.

Where did you send the email? Did you just reply to your test invite?

Also, good luck.. am sure you must've gone through your test by now.

Just to share an update.

When I received my test notification but my wife didn't, I responded to the email (Feb 15) from which I received the invite. I see they triggered the test invite the day after (Feb 16) for my wife and she received hers on Feb 18.

I am in the same position as many other folks here:

Timeline:
Online application submitted: May 16, 2022 (Applied while living in Vaughan)
AOR: May 24, 2022 (quite fast compared some other applicants I know)
Silence
(Moved to Burlington area in October 2022, submitted web form for address change)
Background Check completed: Nov 22, 2022
Silence
Ghost update: December 14, 2022 (many people got this I believe)
Silence....

Then I applied for GCMS notes in first week of Feb, 2022, no response from them yet.

Some people I know were getting their test requests very quickly in GTA area, so I called IRCC in Feb 2022, and the person - who was very friendly - told me my application was transferred to Niagara office, possibly due to address change, and that there no problems that he can see...and that it is under processing.

So this is where I am since then...anything else I can try?
