Today, just found out on eCAS that my application has been updated to Decision Made, however, in online tracker LPP still in progress. Is it their system error/glitch only?

January applicant here. Paper based.
Nope. ECAS updates before new tracker updates. You should see LPP completed in 2-3 days.

Anyone same situation as mine??

I have a question... is eCAS different from online status check? I tried to see the update in the eCAS and when I placed the required information. I got this update:

Applicants for permanent residence can receive instant email updates and more detailed, up-to-date case status by creating an online account. Find out how.

However, when I check my online status checker, it has an update: (note I applied at the age of 57, which means I am exempt from Language and Citizen test)

Does giving the test at 12 am on the very first day it opens have any benefit? Like can you get the test updated very same day ? FYI I'm with Mississauga office.
