Hello,

finally received today a long overdue update on my file.

You are invited to further the processing of your citizenship application by taking the Online Canadian Citizenship Test.”

Finally some movement!
Congrats and all the best. What are your timelines if I may ask.

Nah…in my case only BG is complete. The rest just changed from not started into process. Ceremony obviously not started.

I read somewhere in this forum that once BG is complete you get the citizenship test invite and once the test is complete and validated the language and other areas move to completed ... and finally its the oath. Not sure how genuine the info is

No interview for us (so far!).

All items except Citizenship test and Background check were “in progress” until July 20th.

And then all except Oath Ceremony changed to Completed on July 21st, old Ecas is also showing “Decision Made” now.

I hope they don’t go back to “in progress” - I have seen some random case where that had also happened.

Waiting for Oath Ceremony invitation now.
Oh that's great; I'm in the same boat (regarding the test and the background check) - with any luck, my application may follow the same route!

Thanks for the information!

Well, my test was marked as "Completed" 6 weeks ago to this date and no movement since; only "test" and "background check" are in a "Completed" state; ECAS shows no updates since early last year :/

Varies from person to person and from office to office. Assume it'll take a couple of months to avoid disappointment but it could happen well before that time.

Good luck!

The immigration gods/goddesses must have heard my pleas - All sections are now completed with the exception of the Oath ceremony as of July 23rd! @rajkamalmohanram, please update the spreadsheet as necessary.

Onwards to Oath, my fellow (almost) citizens!

Congrats!

I've updated the spreadsheet. You are in line for oath.

Please post an update once you receive the oath notification and once after you receive the oath email.

All the best!

Also, just checked ECAS in the old system - I got my Decision Made! Happy Friday, indeed!

(And thank you for the well wishes! I'm guessing that means that there won't be an interview?)
