July 2020 - Citizenship application

[rajkamalmohanram]

Hi everyone.

We received our fingerprint requests on 25 June 2021 and had them sent to RCMP on 30 June 2021. Can you update the tracker for us?

It does not look like this is a stage that everyone is keeping tracking of on the spreadsheet nor one that has much consistency on dates with others.

Thanks.

I have updated the spreadsheet.

Not everyone receives fingerprints so that is why you aren't see this against every entry on the spreadsheet. But you are right, several applicants who received FP request don't report it on the forum or have it updated on the sheet.

Hi Friends,

Everything other than 'Citizenship Ceremony' got updated to 'Completed' yesterday. Citizen Ceremony is 'Not Started'. The first line when you login to the tracker is ' Your citizenship application status: In progress '

By what I am reading here, this is 'DM' status? But where should I see that?
Thanks in advance.

Yup, that's Decision Made. You should see "Decision Made" on ECAS.

I don't see you on the spreadsheet.

Could you please provide your information in the following format so that I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Location:
App Type: Single / Family (# of applicants)
Physical Presence Days:
App Sent:
App Delivered:
AOR:
In-Progress:
Test Email:
Test Date:
Interview Invite:
Interview Date:
Decision Made:

Also, from the new status dashboard, can you please provide the dates of the following :

Background Check "Completed" date
Citizenship Test "Completed" date
Prohibitions, Language and Residency "Completed" date


Thank you!

Thank you. Let me dive into all the info and collate here. On top of my mind , I sent the app on 18th July and it got delivered on 22 July. Single applicant from downtown Toronto. AOR was on last week of January.

Further question on my actual query : There are only three official statuses as per IRCC (https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1465&top=5 ) and none of them is 'Decision Made'. It's actually 'In Progress' , 'Congratulations.....' and 'Closed'. Where exactly everyone is seeing this 'Decision Made' phrase I am very confused.
Please help.

Thanks.

So... There are 2 trackers available online. One is called ECAS (the old system) and the other is the New Citizenship status Dashboard . There is no "Decision Made" status in the latter. DM status can only be seen in ECAS.

Application for Canadian Citizenship (Grant of Citizenship)
This diagram explains each step in the application process. Please contact us for more information about Application Processing Times.

Application for Canadian Citizenship (Grant of Citizenship)

Status of your application	Explanation
RECEIVED (A decision has not been made yet.)	Application Received Your application has been received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials will review your application and the required documents and citizenship fees to ensure they meet the minimum processing requirements.
IN PROCESS (A decision has not been made yet.)	Application In Process Your file has been sent to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office closest to your home for processing. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials will complete the necessary steps to make a decision on your application. If additional information or documents are needed, you will be contacted. If you are between the ages of 18 and 54, you will have to meet the knowledge and language requirements for citizenship. The citizenship test will determine if you meet the knowledge requirements for citizenship. You will be notified by mail about the time and place of your test. Adult applicants who are 55 years old or older are not required to take the citizenship test. An interview with a citizenship officer or citizenship judge may also be required. Should this be necessary, you will be notified by mail about the time and place of your interview. Application Withdrawn If you wish to withdraw your application, you must advise us before a decision on your application has been made.
DECISION MADE (A decision has been made at this point.)	Applicant Notified You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application. If you meet the requirements, you will be invited to a citizenship ceremony where you will take the oath of citizenship and receive a certificate of Canadian citizenship. If you do not meet the requirements, you will be informed in writing.

oooo daaaamn! You are so right! yes it's showing 'Decision Made' in the old tracker which I completely forgot about since started tracking through the new! Thank you so much!
It also says there they will notify the applicant by 'mail'! SO I will receive the oath invite by postal mail and not 'e-mail'?

No, you'll first see an update on the new status dashboard that'll show the date you've been scheduled for oath. Around a week before the oath, you'll receive the oath invitation via email.

Thank you very much! Honestly, you guys are probably more knowledgeable than few of the officials. Very kind of you all
