Sorry, but are you sure? I ask this because my ecas still shows “IP” and we already had the interview. My file doesn’t show anything about interview and my partner (principal applicant) shows DM.

If it’s the way your are saying, mine would have to have the line “invited for test / interview” although I got the invitation (and it doesn’t show on ecas).

So... I am guessing (just a guess) that they don’t always update the ecas of all family members, only the main applicant...
ECAS is not always accurate. Getting an interview invite does not mean that all other checks were completed and passed. Background checks can be run after the test. This is evidenced by the fact that several applicants were asked to provide FPs after their test. And some received RQs.

But such thing exist for citizenship app? Main applicant? I thought that just existed for the PR process
As I said, I am not sure, but considering we do everything “together” (like when they send invitation for test/interview, oath etc) they send to all family members, I guess the files aren’t so “independent”.

Background checks are independent. The fact that one spouse got DM while the other didn't is proof of this. That being said, IRCC will try to schedule oath once all applicants in a family have decisions made on their file. So you're still processed together.

Hi,

My Husband missed his first test (what was on Jan 18, 2018 at ottawa) due to daughter's health, he also write a explanation letter to cic, but we r still waiting for next test date. Can anyone tell me around how many weeks they send us next test notification? will they update on ECAS? or they they send us direct letter?

Thanks in advanced.
