wait what? we can apply urgent processing? i didnt even know lol .
so without urgent processing, when should i expect to see some activity?

You can apply for urgency processing under certain situations Yes.

Read more here:
Apply for citizenship: Urgent processing

and I have no idea how long we have to wait, I would say at least 1 year b4 we start to see some movement, hopefully, sooner, as IRCC hired a lot of people to process stuff, so we can only hope, but it can take 6 months 6 days, 2 years 10 years IRCC can do whatever they want and continue to blame good old COVID 19. Good luck to us all :) look at visa application went from 30 day to 100 days to 350 days then 440 days and now 600 plus days so everything Is slow with the right now, not just citizenship
 
Just discovered ecas is updated to Decision Made. When I click on it, I don't see any latest update. The new portal doesn't show any new update after test complete. Is this normal? Should I be expecting oath invite soon? I have travel plans so wondering if I should hold them off...

My tracker looks like this at the moment:

  • Citizenship test - Not started
