Me and my husband are awaiting for LPP. Its "In Progress" right now. Our ECAS status says "Decision Made" today. But our minor child's ECAS is still "In Progress" and her Background, Prohibitions are also in "In Progress" until now. Can someone comment if it is normal or should we be concerned?

Secondly, how much time it takes to get some notification in email/mail after ECAS is changed to "Decision Made" ?

Thanks in advance!!
Nothing to worry. Minor’s application is processed with parents and will remain in progress on ECAS and tracker. You will likely see LPP completed for yourself and husband tomorrow or early next week followed by oath update few more days later.
Minor’s tracker will only show Prohibitions completed. Congrats you’re almost there.

The first six questions in my test I had no idea. I started sweating and thought I was going to fail. The remaining questions were super easy. I hit submit but couldn't look at the result because of the first questions. I got 16/20 and passed but it was tough. I recommend everyone to take it seriously they really have bizarre questions.

Yes, I would add that read the guide and take notes. The online test available has similar questions but some of them are really thoughts

I did read the guide twice and I have a crazy good memory. It is just the way they ask the questions. There are multiple things you need to know and then make connections between. Not what I expected and I feel blessed that I passed the test despite randomly answering the first six questions.
