Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far.

Got an update on the tracker that I've been scheduled for a test between June 30, 2022 and July 20, 2022, no email yet and everything is still in progress.

Congratulations! Seems like Online Octobers are finally moving, albeit slowly!

Thanks! Yeah I checked my tracker only after seeing others getting invites, like AOR they're doing it in batches I guess so hopefully they will catch up.

Looking at the spreadsheet, both for October and September, I see that applications made in Ottawa are barely moving forward. Offices in and around Toronto (GTA) seem to work the fastest.

When I applied for citizenship grant, i paid 705 $, (530$ for processing fee, 100$ for right of citizenship) and 75$ for citizenship certificate. Today I noticed, Immigration Canada returned 75$, Is it the same case for everyone ?

you should only pay 630$ (530 for processing + 100 for citizenship right). The 75 must have been returned to you because you don't need to pay. Also the fact that they returned it to you shows that they had started to work on your application and are doing the necessary verifications.

Is this paper application? also for the instructions, I believe they come by email. Check your spam, notification, promotion, and all other tabs if you have gmail so you ensure you don't miss the email. I am still far off the process (haven't even received the exam invite yet, I am an online applicant), but that's what people here post about their applications. Congratulations. Which office if I may ask?

Apparently from the spreadsheet. Let's hope everyone gets their application moving.

Have you received any email regarding the test?

It was paper.
My application was mailed to Sydney. But I am in Calgary so would that be my main processing office? I actually am not sure...haha.
