Thanks!! I didn't think to check ecas separate to the tracker until this afternoon, so couldn't say for sure. I suspect it was probably updated early morning West Coast time though, the tracker was updated for LPP by 9:00 am
What do you mean by "check ecas separate to the tracker"? Is there somewhere other than https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login that we can check out application status?

Hi, I got this reply from CIC. How we can prove them what they are asking for? My parents lived in Canada on Visitor Visa before they become PR.

Your application for Canadian citizenship is incomplete. We cannot start processing your application for the following reasons:
Physical Presence
In our records, we cannot confirm your time in Canada before you became a permanent resident (PR).

To fix this issue
  • double-check the information in your immigration documents
  • update or correct your physical presence calculation where applicable
  • click on the “Calculate my physical presence” button
Hi
May I know if you can find a way to solve the problem?
please kindly help if you know the way.
thanks

Admin please add to the spreadsheet.

We received an email asking for a Canadian address on May 5, they said the application was being pulled until an address was provided. We responded with the address that same day, no further updates. The tracker shows ”In progress” and was last updated March 14, 2023.

Language skills, physical presence, background verification, and prohibitions are all in progress.
Should we be calling them for an update? Just saw the spreadsheet and see lots of people are way ahead.

Anyone else from Scarborough processing office who completed test way back (I completed in March) and still waiting for LPP? Looks like you can tell if your application is in Scarborough based on test invite email - mine had "DN SCR"
I completed the test march 24 and tracker update march 27 nothing since then

Hi everyone !

Type: Online Application
Location: Montreal
Physical Presence: 1756
Application: Single
Application Sent: January 10th 2023
AOR: January 25th 2023
Background Verification Completed: March 9th 2023
Citizenship Test Status Updated to In Progress: March 9th 2023
Invitation for Test: March 16th 2023 (Dates: March 24th to April 13th)
Test Completed: April 8th 2023
Test marked as Completed in tracker: April 14th 2023


There has been no update since then, my LPP is showing to be in progress ever since but it has been more than 2 months now and there hasn't been any update on the LPP. What do you guys think is causing this delay or even if it is? as I have seen quicker ones in the sheet. Is it due to the Montreal being the location?

Date on 'Last update' on tracker dashboard is May 11 2023 (I guess that's what ghost update is)

Let me know your opinion about this please. Thanks.

Well, to be honest, they are way ahead because they are physically in Canada. What I saw in this forum is, it takes longer for applicants who are not physically in Canada. So they will most probably take it easy on your application. Good luck
