Online citizenship test

[misterkim044]

What is the status of your application in eCas ?

its been in process for quite some time, and still in process. I've done 2 finger prints, the test and none of that shows online, the other 2 updates have been the finger print requests, which just show as "We've sent you correspondence" updates. No updates outlining that I was sent test etc. When I call, they can see that I have done all that, so that may just not be updating online for me.

It looks like that 5000 batch is done, and we are back into being in the dark about our future.

Why do you say that? People have been posting about receiving invites everyday and that’s just on this forum which in no way represents the majority of applicants. As more take the test and go through the process, bugs are flagged, problems solved, and the process continues. There has been no statement of suspension of the online test.

When did you passed passed online test ?

I was invited on Dec 24th and took my test on Jan 4. The comment was actually for the other user who was invited to his/her ceremony not that my application was moving faster than expected if that is what you are curious about.

We have always been short of public "statements" - that's a substantial part of why people were protesting. In my understanding, the online test was just a pilot limited in the confines of a 5000 batch, and since the New Year I have not seen any report on test invites. That's why I am starting to suppose that that might be complete and we are back in limbo. I do hope I am wrong though.

It seems like once the IRCC releases a statement, unless something changes, they don’t say much. It’s only been a little more than a month for online testing so it’s too early for an update. As I said above people have been posting that they have received test invites. So, nothing has changed and invites are still going out, thus no statement from IRCC. Personally, I’m not expecting one until February at the earliest.
Don’t lose hope yet, it looks like things are still moving and there haven’t been any reports of major issues. Hopefully, you’ll hear something soon!

Just an update for me. My status changed this morning to “Decision Made.” No email about oath date and never received an email asking for extra documents.

So, I will hopefully get an email saying my application has been approved and a date to take my oath.

Congrats!
Which date was your online test?

Stay positive. That's the secret of a successful life!
A lot of positive development has been happening, esp since mid-December. In fact, lately, IRCC is working faster than most expectations. So stay positive and good will happen to you.

Got the invite on Dec. 18th, took the test on Dec. 26th, status changed to “Decision Made” on Jan. 7th. Just waiting to see what that decision is. Hopefully, I’ll be getting an oath invite soon.

Hello, I sent my application at the beginning of March 2020 and got my AOR at the end of August 2020 and in process now. Should I start studying for the test or will I probably wait for like a year, what do you guys think?

So you think they will seamlessly roll out regular online tests after the 5000 pilot? Or you just believe you should be part of the 5000?

I believe that they will rollout at a faster rate after the 5000 is hit if there were not major issues with their pipeline.

Having agents manually checking test footage is probably one of the major bottlenecking issues they are most likely trying to sort out which would be a big reason to only continue at a slow pace. If this turns out not to be much of a problem than I think they’ll increase the number of invites.

As for me, I’ve already been invited and have taken the online test. I’m a July 2019 applicant who had a test date that was canceled in March 2019. My current status is “Decision Made” and am just waiting for an email telling me I’m invited to an oath ceremony or have been rejected.

If I were you, I would wait until you actually receive an invite. You should have enough time to study the materials from the date of the invitation until the actual test date.
