Hi guys,
I am from Ottawa and I passed my test on 9 August and nothing on ECAS. Sill in Process. Application received on March 2. When I passed my test they asked me for translations for some passport stamps so I don't know if this is the reason behind the delay but I submitted the translated stamps after one week and they are all in file ... It's weird. Anybody from Ottawa facing similar delays?

Hi I'm from Ottawa as well, April 24th applicant, i passed my test on Sep 13 n still no update in ecas for me, they did not ask me for any additional docs

Has anyone ordered GCMS notes at this stage?. My wife and I have applied together for Citizenship and I'd like to get GCMS notes for both of us. Do I need to fill out the consent form for her or can I just include her on my request? Does she need to request her own notes? It's not very clear?

Thanks. I'll do that.

It's really bad that you have to jump through so many hoops to get updates in your file. I don't understand why ECAS can't be updated after each step is done. Like how hard is it to show the same info that's on GCMS on ECAS? If the officer marks a particular check as passed then ECAS could show that too. Would provide way more transparency.

Still in process since July 25 and application was received on April 23. Called in CIC and Background check was already completed. Edmonton citizenship office is kinda slow.

I have a question regarding the documents that are needed fro the exam.
It says all original versions of the documents you provided with your citizenship applications....What dos it exactly mean?? should I have the filled out citizenship application with me too? Or does it only apply to the original document I send as the proof of English language competency together with my current and old passports?

Can someone please elaborate on this?

New Brunswick here so kinda hard to gauge if things are slow or not for my office as there are so few of us here on this site. I've been "In Process" since June 27th and absolutely nothing has happened since. Will soon be 4 months.
