Congratulations @cococly ..when is your oath date. I think The online tracker might not be updating since April 14 and then holidays started. I know this because I called up on April 14 to update me and my wife's address and the lady on call said my wife has DM on April 13 but we told her we cannot see in the online tracker yet. She said it might take few days to come up. So you should be good, dont worry.

I think tomorrow or Friday we all will get updates in the online tracker.
Oath Invitation email: April 20th.
Oath Date: April 29th

@raultest Nope, still shows ‘in progress’. Did you get an acknowledgment from the IRCC clerk to your Oath form email?
Thanks
@MikeEH they will not give any acknowledgement. They told this to my wife when she completed her oath on 1-April in post-oath ceremony part.
So i am also not expecting any acknowledgement.

Out of curiosity, has anyone had any updates on the ECAS tracker that have taken the test? I've already taken my test and I saw someone's ECAS that said they had been invited and more information would be provided in the letter sent, but my ECAS never updated past "We started processing your application on _____." I'm a paper applicant.

Hi all,

Just wanted to provide a quick update and get some advise.

Today when I checked my online tracker (ecas for paper applicants) it says decison made, based of what I see/read it looks like it takes approx 2 months for oath cermony, I am travelling and will be back around mid July. If I get an email is it a good idea to postone the oath cermony or cancel/prepone my travel. I am scared if I ask them to postpone the oath cermony it might take really long to reschedule.

Best case you will get your citizenship in 2 months. But with the way IRCC is handling the cases one can't say the timelines are strictly adhered. Also the processing time varies from office to office.
Be optimistic, you would travel with a Canadian passport in November
