I have had no luck in getting updtaes/information on ecas system so far: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do
Ofcourse I have entered correct input details. Generic message similar to this is shown:

ECAS only works for paper applicants. Did you apply online or Paper?

Got a different update as I open tracker

If you see on the Citizenship Tracker that you’ve been asked to take a citizenship test or participate in an interview, hearing or ceremony, but you haven’t received an official invitation from us yet, we might still be planning your event. Your invitation is the official confirmation.

If you haven’t gotten it 6 calendar days before the event,check your junk mail folder and contact our Client Support Centre to make sure we have the right contact information for you.

I already finished my test on may 26

lpp still in process
Is it an update related lpp? Or Oath?

this is a universal message at everyone's tracker - ignore. since you already completed Test - not applicable for you anymore. You anyways need an oath invitation letter for a unique Zoom link

Hi, I see your case also got the LPP completed in this week itself and office is Vancouver just like mine.

When I checked the tracker, it shows that Decision Made is always the same date as the LPP completed for everyone else. My date is 12th June and it reflected on my tracker yesterday 15th June.

Not sure why, in both our cases they have not made that decision!!

Anyone, has any inputs on this please??

I believe Decision Made status is applicable in ECAS (paper applications) - but really the next step is now the Oath

Ah gotcha, I was assuming that instead of my application status being-(In Progress) it would change to-(Congratulations) on the tracker, as they have mentioned on the IRCC website.

But, if its only the Oath Invite that's pending, then that works for me too.

Yup. I have also cleared physical presence and prohibitions with language in progress and test not started, of which neither I need to do.
I think it’s normal.

I received a passport request two weeks ago and submitted all the request info right away. Does anyone know if it's normal to receive a further response from IRCC, or is it generally just a wait and then you proceed to LPP complete?

Just gotta keep playing the waiting game, Jack. Live life in the mean time.
