Read the PDF instructions to know what to do if you are outside the country. The email address should give you a hint on what's your office. Post it here and we will help.
I have not received any email about it and not sure which email address should I write to?

Received this email confirmation today. It took 2 months for them to confirm my mail.


Dear Applicant
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. This is to confirm that we’ve received your passport copy and we now have it on file.

Quick question to the group here as I couldn't find any answer to this by googling. When you do your ceremony and you cut your permanent residency card, can you travel outside Canada while you are waiting for your citizhenip certificate to arrive? Or do you have to wait until you have received that certificate before you can leave?

You need the Canadian passport to be able to return to Canada.

Is the "Decision Made" status only for old ecas or does the new application tracker also show it?

Only for old ecas. For the new system the equivalent seems to be when everything is complete, except Citizenship ceremony.

For me, everything shows completed (except ceremony) but ecas still doesn't show the decision made status. The current status there shows they sent me an invitation to take a test, not updates after that.

For me the old ecas shows that the AOR was sent on April 21. Nothing after that.
