I've added you to the spreadsheet. Could you please provide the date when you received the test invitation email, thanks!

Prohibitions, Language and Physical Presence will be set to "Completed" when your application goes to "Decision Made" status on ECAS. Prohibitions, I think, is one final check before they issue you an oath invitation. Prohibitions and the 2 other statuses as mentioned above will be set to "Completed" only before your oath goes to "In Progress" status.

could I pls know what do they normally discuss during the interview after the CT? does the interview apply to everyone after the CT or they only request interviews on a case-by-case?

Updated the spreadsheet!

Very likely, yes - Your LVO might be Niagara falls.

Did you request urgent processing by any chance? Your application was processed sooner than most.

From the spreadsheet, I see that your application went to "In Progress" on Feb 3rd. What the current status shown in ECAS?

Did you check the New Citizenship status Dashboard ? What's the status of your BG Checks?

You should know that most people in September are in the same situation.

ECAS - In progress since Feb 02, 2021.
New Tracker - BG In progress. Last update on Apr 23, 2021
Thanks. If your BG Checks are still in Progress, then it is likely because your application is stuck either in criminality or security. In case of the former, you'll receive fingerprint requests. You might want to discuss with people here.

I got the Test invite on 26th May and passed the test on 4th June (18 out of 20). CT is still shown as 'In Progress' in eCAS.
My wife got the CT invite 1 week later on 2nd June, passed the test 6 days after me on 10th June (20 out of 20). Her CT is updated to "Completed" in eCAS this morning (while mine is still in progress).
Two questions:
1) What the fuck?
2) Is it because she is more intelligent and got 20 on 20, her status got updated before me even though I passed the test 1 week before her ? :)

ROFL!

I have seen a few cases where the CT is In Progress for a while after the test before it is set to Completed. Not sure why this is the case. Its been 10 days since you passed the test. Put in a webform asking if your test results were validated. A LOT of cases I've seen lately - This update happens within 1 - 2 days.

Questions : Did you see any popups during the test that said other tabs were open? Were the picture quality of your ID and your face clear?
