January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[SunshineJA]

Hi Folks,

My LPP is completed on 18th Aug and my case status remains 'In Progress', does the Tracker status change to 'Decision Made' ? and if so, when?
(I am seeing the tracker excel having a date saying 'Decision Made date ecas estimate' and about 95% of the date is same date as the LPP date).

TIA.

Give it some time. Well it may update by Wednesday however though I’m in a similar position. My app is also paper application with minor, I only got LPP on july 17, to date my ECAS is still “in process” no decision made. I check everyday for over 1 month n it hasn’t changed to DM. Agent told me my steps are completed however parentage verification is still in process for my child n the file needs additional review from officer. So I guess I just have to continue to wait impatiently.
Just keep checking your ecas though Mayb by Wednesday you will get DM. Plz keep me posted.

So happy you’ll get good news soon!!

Thank you!! Hoping to either get the oath invite soon or the tracker update just so I know a date. I swear I am worse than a kid on Christmas Eve. Lol

guess it all depends on whether you are planing on travelling in the next few months. You could get oath in 2 months or in 5.

I did they won't help because its handled by CSIS and they can't speed up the process. IRCC have to wait for CSIS to send in your security clearance before they can move to the next step. I'm in the same situation since March 10th, that's when my security started. It takes around 6 months for security to be cleared by CSIS, its been 5 months for me so I'm expecting an update next month.

I saw cases where it took more than 11 months for BG to complete

My last update was test completed March 28. After that complete silence. In my GCMS notes Language,prohibitions, phyical presence all NOT STARTED and due date is 24/01/2024

I am still waiting for my GCMS notes, but I suspect mine is going to look very similar to yours. It's just amazing to see how there's no consistency in between applications...

Please guys any of you get BG update us , mine started in April first , you guys , your security screening started in March , so you absolutely will get it first ,

I did saw cases security started in January and they got it cleared in July. I saw who started in Feb still waiting ,

yes some cases took longer but most likely those are 2022 cases

Might be csis working fast this year , as IRCC this year

I just requested another csis notes , not sure that will do any thing , as the request goes to csis and it might trigger open the file
All that wait is backlog not the search it self , so hoping it gets clear for all of us January 2023 applicants , no longer than middle or end of next month

You almost their , few days. You will , most of the cases got cleared in six month , I contacted MP they sent me a form I filled it in and sent it back on Friday but they didn’t email me any thing today , o explained that it is pending SS so that might the reason they didn’t yet respond today after filling the form with details

I was just about to ask all the people from the Niagara VO if anyone had their oath scheduled. Did you get the invite or was it updated on tracker?
