Question about minor's application status. We are family of three family paper app. Me and wife have decision made and all complete except oath on Jan 11 (see above). But our kid's status is still showing IP for language, BG, Physical, Prohibitions... Is this normal? Wonder what others have seen on their minors' application statuses?
I also see decision made for my application. Please update once you receive Oath invite. Similar timeline as yours, same office andpaper family application.

Here are some ideas
PDF format
 Recreate the PDF using the “lowest file size” option available.
 If you have images, save them with a resolution of 96 DPI (dots per inch).
 Remove all unnecessary images.
You may find file size and image options under the advanced settings section of the software you are
using.
JPG format
 Scan your document at a lower resolution (96 DPI).
 Remove all empty space around the image.
 Shrink the image.
 Reduce the JPG image quality.
TIFF and PNG format
 Scan your document at a lower resolution (96 DPI).
 Crop the image to remove any empty space around it.
 Shrink the image.
 Save the file in JPG format instead.
DOC and DOCX format
 Remove unnecessary images, formatting and macros.
 Save the file as a recent Word version.
 Reduce the file size of the images before they are added to the document.
 If it is still too large, save the file as a PDF.
Thanks ! I used Adobe to compress PDF files and it works perfectly! Recommend!

Hi folks,

My application is received in May 2022.
I was invited for test in July 2022 and took my test in August 2022. The tracking shows I completed the test in august, but no news since then. Any idea? I tried the webform but no news. Any idea what is the longest wait time for oath after the test?

Thanks,
What's your processing office?

Maybe the process is so slow that people don't update in the forum and many would have already got the oath.
Still it is heartbreaking to know that only 3 out of the 51 odd Ottawa application for 2022 have reached the oath stage.
I think people don't return to provide update after oath.
When they are anxiously waiting for oath, they come here for advise and clarifications. Once they get oath, they disappear.
