January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[CdnWifeLivingInThailand]

Does anyone have the below updates?
My old ecas portal now shows DM
Whereas new tracker still shows Physical Presence, Language Skills and Prohibitions as Inprogress and Citizenship Ceremony Not Started.

Let me know what can I expect here???

Occasionally, they have a delay of a couple of days (normally over the weekend) where they updated one to decision made but didn't have time to update the other tracker to completed - as they got pulled away and distracted. I would say by the end of this week, if not tomorrow, you should have complete for presence, language and prohibitions. This has happened to someone else as well a couple of months ago and I remember it taking one or two businesss days for it to get resolved. All is well. Congrats on your decision made!!!

I just saw my “DECISION MADE” now on old ecas now. I didn’t even know it’s been updated.

Let’s give the system a few days to rectify or update.

Stop perpetuating this misinformation. There is no evidence of that.

All my updates are in weekdays and at 6:05 AM.

It is true that updates on new tracker are displayed next working day in the morning. I am assuming that they run overnight batch job for that. So if Decision is made on Friday it is reflected in new tracker on Monday (happened in case of my spouse).

I am not sure at what time exactly that batch job runs (I was assuming so far that it runs at midnight PST).

It is a FACT. If they update anything on your tracker that is not a fake/ghost update, you will only see it the next weekday at 6 AM ET. Check your file around that time to see it for yourself.

How do you explain these then:

Seems "FACT" means a different thing these days.

Multiple people have confirmed that it updates around 6 AM ET, and here you are talking about how you were able to register around 11-3pm. If you don't see the difference between an update and AOR, and you don't want to believe multiple people, there is nothing else I can tell you. Check and see for yourself when you get updates.

I second this. On top of that ECAS gets updated on Saturday if there is an update on Friday but new tracker gets updated on Monday.

And I third that. All updates happen overnight. There were some cases earlier where the update happened around 10 am EST (happened to my wife also) - there was no update at 9 am but at 10:30 am EST i saw BG completed. BUT that is very rare and that was many months ago. I think they have streamlined the process and batch job execution as @softwaretesting pointed out. This is normal in any IT project.
@mohoozee just relax brother, we all are here to help each other out. CIC works in very wierd ways which causes confusion among applicants. You might have been received update during day time like my wife did but now everyone receives update around 6 am EST and happens only once a day.

You mentioned AOR. If I remember correctly we are able to register to new status tracker a day AFTER receiving AOR. So probably you are talking about old tracker (eCAS) & we are all talking about new tracker.

Interesting you should say that (you are inadvertently making my point) because the original poster's claim is that the tracker ONLY update at 6 AM (not USUALLY or MOST, which I have no objection to). By the way, it's not only me. You can see @momieva's post on the same thread.

Unlike you, I choose my words carefully. Nowhere in the post you quoted did I say anything about registering for the tracker. Oh I can believe multiple people's account (after all that is the point of this forum and the spreadsheet: to integrate individual experiences into a consistent, accurate pattern) and If you had mentioned most people get their status updated at 6AM that would have been fine but you said ONLY with such authority like you work at IRCC and unless you do, you can't make such claims when others (albeit a minority in this case) report different experiences.

@svk1520 and @softwaretesting, I appreciate we are all trying to help each other out but we should refrain from presenting our opinion/experience as FACT unless we know it to be so.

Good luck.
