My application is in the Montreal office as well. So far trends show that they are slow compared to Ontario but there has also been some progress from there recently. Generally, with IRCC, you just gotta be patient. So let's hope things will change soon.
Yeah, mine was not updated after the test is completed on Aug 16th. Will wait for it!

I just received updates in my tracker and everything is now showing as complete except Ceremony as not started yet. In Old ECAS it’s status also shows as “Decision Made”. The same is for my spouse.

However, for my kids (below 18) , everything was in process till yesterday and now Prohibitions showing as complete while rest are “in process” and Test + Ceremony “not started”. Also on ECAS it still shows “in process” for them. I understand there will be no test and no language and physical presence for them … but shouldn’t everything appear as complete and ECAS to be turned to Decision Made?

Is it normal? Any thoughts?

Hi, I submitted GCMS notes request on Oct 9th. I haven't received it yet.
which email does one get a response from? how long does it take? I thought it was 1 month long process.

Also my application is stuck on background completed (no test invite) since Sep 17th....

Happy for ppl who have received oath invitations but should I be worried??

P.S: I have noticed that online applications submitted after Feb 20th are not being processed. Anyone else noticed the same ?

Yup you are right. Seems like the batch processing is being completed for any application before before Feb 20th. My wife's application is Feb 26th so hoping some movement starts end of november.
