Congrats ???? We just got a ghost update which mean nothing !!!
I wouldn't say that they don't mean anything. It means an officer opened our files and did some work on them. What that work is would be clear in a few days. Usually a week or two after a ghost update, people get either test invites or get their background checks completed or get requests for fingerprints.

wow.. Congrats Late October online applicants are still waiting for updates, I don’t think they make updates in chronological order. OCT 24 Online waiting.
Oct 28 online still waiting. I don't get the logic of this anymore :( I wish they went back to in-person tests and oaths. I regret not having sent my application on paper!!!

The government is reintroducing COVID-19 testing at airports, and soon the IRCC will get paid time off again because they can’t let go of the pandemic excuses!

I received my GCMS notes (just a few days after the deadline). Nothing has been started yet... Very disappointing, taking in mind it's been over 8 months since I applied! No clue what those people are doing and what logic they have. There have been many applicants that applied after me who are at Oath stage.

In any case, looking at the trends on the spreadsheet, I believe November Online applicants will start seeing some action by the end of July. This is based on the fact many October online applicants are being actioned, with AOR's in mid-Jan. This means in about 2 weeks they should be getting to early Feb AOR's. This is at least what I'm estimating and hoping for. Let's see!

Online APP sent: Nov 1, 2022
AOR: Jan 28, 2022
In Processing: Jan 28, 2022

I guess they are finally making a move on the online applications as well.

Just logged into the portal and seems like there is a new update for me saying "Take the Citizenship Test" and it says I need to schedule a test between August 12, 2022 and September 1, 2022 but I still havent received any email instructions about it.

Does that come in a day or two?.. Now except for Citizenship Ceremony, I have everything saying in progress:
