So @hssrp, the date you register in the portal and notice 'In-Progress' state is the ECAS date? Also where do I find the secondary VO? Sydney VO as primary seems to suck.Thanks for noticing it.
@crystalmet - the link you were using is the one for tracking PR/Spousal application etc. IRCC has a 100 different portals for everything, unfortunately.
Please use this link for tracking the Citizenship application - https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register
