It means that a decision has been made on your application and the next step is the oath ceremony. And office responsible for scheduling your oath is Vancouver IRCC.

FYI: Due dates on GCMS notes are just a suggestion and can be pushed at any time by an officer

Strike is official https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/psac-strike-1.6813502

Just filed my taxes. Very much need my tax refund. My citizenship application hasn't been looked at since February. I don't want to come off as entitled, but I myself have to work 12 hour days and sometimes even longer at a tech job to be able to hold onto my job in the storm of current tech layoffs. I'm a top performer and I only got 2% per year salary increase since I started with my company. No one is hiring right now either. And now this strike happens. What is the prime minister's role in this? Can we make our voices heard? Will they listen to non-citizens?

What is the average wait time after all statuses change to getting the Oath invite. Surprisingly for my kids the status has not changed at all. Still shows everything as In progress

1. ECAS says decision made but nothing further than that
2. My status changed Mar 25 and its now about 20+days and no change

Kids status directly changes to complete when parents application completes. They don't see any status transition like there parents. Oath depends on your processing office. So time varies.

I work in a tech company as well, and I do not work 12 hrs, TBH sounds like you work in a toxic environment that encourages burn out and no care for mental health.

Anyways, the Minister of National Revenue, reports to the Prime Minister.so the PM does play a big role in this and could have stepped in to stop this nonsense before it began

It would be the responsibility of the Prime Minister and the Minister of National Revenue to oversee the negotiations with the striking employees' union and to ensure that essential services, such as the processing of tax returns and the distribution of benefits, continue to be delivered, etc same with IRCC these ministers report to Justin

1. The employer and the union will typically engage in a period of negotiations to try to reach a settlement before the strike begins.
2. If a settlement is not reached, the strike may proceed, and the employer may implement a contingency plan to ensure that essential services continue to be delivered.
3. If the strike continues for an extended period, the employer may seek the assistance of a mediator or arbitrator to help facilitate negotiations and reach a settlement.

Ultimately, the Prime Minister and the Minister of National Revenue would work to ensure that any strike by CRA employees is resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimize the impact on Canadians.

As a non-cit, you can contact your elected representatives, including Members of Parliament, and express your concerns, also send a letter to new papers etc etc and talk about how it affects you, tbh nth will happen good luck to us all, this will make us wait until next year as if IRCC did not already have a backlog

I am not having data that supports paper based application is faster (you can refer smart sheet to verify whose application processed quickly based upon location https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_KE3Bu3C3gOyEm0mRVcJH9nEA2u2GOhfpUZOckOWmN0/edit?usp=sharing ). However, one of my friend he applied online (living in edmonton) and gave his test last week. He applied online end of Feb'23. Even his daughter (18 YO) also got the test invites. Its depends upon case officer.
