Received my e-certificate email today. Oath cermony is still not started on the tracker. I believe it takes a couple of days to update.

E-certificate email: Dec 14, 2023
I called IRCC today and they asked me whether I followed the link from first mail or second mail. I don't think it makes a difference because the link for the test is generic in both the emails. It just pointed me to the web page where I had to provide the application number, UCI to get the actual test link. They told me to wait till the end of the testing period and create a web form with the screenshot of the test results if I don't get an update by then. Frustrating but that's the reality of the situation Its just wait and watch and hope for the best

If there is no harm in taking the test my suggestion is to take it. Specially since you mentioned you will be travelling for some time. I will wait till Monday and re-take test myself. I gave my test on 6th 12:40 AM (almost 9 days).
If anyone else from Vancouver office waiting for their test results from around same time please respond so there can be some assurance for us.
I will wait till tomorrow, if haven't heard back then I will take again. Agent said because 1st invitation got cancelled so they not going to check your test you took.
Which is strange because both test invitation start date 4th of December

Waiting as well I’m from interior bc did the test same day as you. I assume im assigned to Vancouver office too. Not in rush to write second test to be honest. They will eventually figure it out. From what it looks like they may be processing test results manually instead of automated systems due to whatever glitch they had. Or may be perhaps short on people due to holiday season.
