Finally got Decision Made in e-cas !
Application status of Language skills, Physical presence, Background verification and Prohibitions were set to "Completed" on Aug 12, 2021 in Citizenship Application Tracker.

Location: Toronto, ON
Application Type: Single
Physical Presence Days: 1133
Application Sent: February 05, 2020
Application Delivered: February 10, 2020
AOR: August 06, 2020
In Process: October 06, 2020
Test Invitation Received: April 14, 2021
Test Date: April 16 - May 06, 2021
Test Taken: April 30, 2021
Decision Made: August 12, 2021
Oath Letter Date:
Oath Ceremony Date: December 22, 2021

I'm yet to get Oath Letter invitation email. Its absurd that Citizenship Oath Ceremony is scheduled after 4 months.
22 months to complete the Citizenship process ! Honestly, I'm done with IRCC !!

P.S: I've already updated Google docs spreadsheet.

Did you get any mail after "DECISION MADE" STATUS, what is the typical timeline to receive mail after you saw the staus updated in e-cas. Does that oath letter say the oath ceremony date?

I've added you to the spreadsheet. Could you please provide the "In Process" date from ECAS ?

I did 10 days ago and got no response
No, I did not. I was planning to do it if I had not received any update by end of August.

In June 2021, I contacted my MP as well but as per reply from his office, these days IRCC is not entertaining MPs as well. I stopped checking my online account in July and today got Test Invites.

Just took the Oath today, all went well and smoothly.
It’s really simple and straightforward, make sure you have
- Photo ID
- PR
- Oath Form
- Black Pen
- scissors
in your hand, check your zoom app for video and sound.
All the best!

Check the New Citizenship status Dashboard . When was "Prohibitions" set to "Completed"? This would be the same date you received "Decision made" on ECAS.

Have you ever submitted the ATIP?
I contacted them through the web form and got back the standard reply that they received my file and transferred it to the appropriate bureau. So frustrating.

My status tracker now says my citizenship test has been 'completed'. Does that mean that everything to do with the test is now completely out of the way or?
