Hi Guys,

is it normal that I have everything completed on Sept. 2nd and no updates since then, I checked the old ECAS and it says decision made (still on the tracker IP) ? how much time between decision made and oath invitation ? I though it is usually in a few days ?

Usually 1-2 days. I got it in a day

I have seen variable timelines. Some in a couple of days. Others in a couple of weeks. Another got oath invite in a week but oath date was 7 weeks down the line.

BG completed 15-Sep, I am unable to update tracker...

I had a ghost update on September 15th and nothing changed in the online system. You at least had completed BG. Your application is one week later than mine.

Hello guys

This thread has been very helpful and I wish that everyone gets their citizenship soon. I had one question please if you can help:

Is LinkedIn profile also checked to ensure work history in citizenship application matches with it?
My LinkedIn work history is little different than work history mentioned in the application. Obviously the application has the correct work history. I did two jobs in between my career (one lasted 4 months and the second lasted 2.5 months). So, on LinkedIn, I have not included these jobs and have included following as replacement to these jobs to show recruiters that I didn't had any gaps:
1. The first job that I did for 4 months: I was doing another job full time and when i got this job, I started working full time here but didn't left previous jobs and was still working part time at previous job. So, in Linkedin I have only presented the other (previous) job as this job i worked for 4 months only and if I include this then it would make recruiters think that I leave jobs very quickly.
2. I did one job for like 2 months so i have not added it on linkedin and have added some education showing that I was studying online during that time.

Will this have any effect on my application? Should I hide my profile for now or leave it as such?

Any response is appreciated.

Are you asking about citizenship or PR?

No, your LinkedIn profile won't really matter..they don't go around matching profiles. They might check with employers in Canada though. But that's not always the case either.

thank you mate

So, they call employers too even in citizenship? I was thinking that work history has nothing to do with eligibility of becoming citizen? Some of my past employers hate me like crazy so I don't know what they will say if they get phone call about me.

Dont overthink ,it will be fine as Smash1984 mentioned. The work history acts as an importance evidence of your physical presence in Canada. Even though you moonlighted which seems to be your concern, your CRA filings already substantiate your work history claim. Nothing to worry about !
