Hi friends,

I just saw the status in ecas changed to decision made, but the tracker still shows the latest update is test completed. Does anyone know what this means? Thank you for your input!
Hi @baltzly, did you apply online or paper? I am asking because I am not able to see my application status on ecas, while I see test completed and bg completed on tracker.

I wonder if anybody who applied having similar issues on checking application status on ecas.

Might sound dumb but where is the Ecas I use a website that shows the application history, the one that glitched. But where do you see the decision made one. If anyone could drop a link and help a fellow resident out I’d appreciate it.

Only paper applicants can access ECAS. It is not for online applicants.

For one minute when I saw New Update on my application after 6 months, I was like "Thanks God, some movement in my application" but when I scrolled down, it was LOL, every event that goes 9 months back showed New Update then I realized IRCC System was pranking.

I wish IRCC do something on those files that are put somewhere in a room corner.
Exactly, just awful.

I am now starting my second stint of trying to not check the portal every day or sometimes even multiple times a day.

Today is my second day of not checking.

Besides, the week of Christmas has arrived. IRCC will be off to their breaks. Shouldn't expect much until after the first week of the new year now (by which time my application will have completed 10 months).

After sitting the test on November 5th, my tracker finally updated it to "completed", but showing the date as 10th November, even though it was only updated on the 16th December online. Are they backdating things now or did someone just forget to hit the update button or something? It's been a stressful 6 weeks, thinking something went wrong.

Same thing happened to me, i took the test in Oct and they’ve updated my status in Nov but back dated it. Same for my husband… nothing to worry about if you’ve passed and got an email.

Yeah, I never received an email at all after I completed the test. I don't think most people receive this email (at least not what I've seen).

You only get an email if you click the button "send email" (or something like that. Don't exactly remember the words). It's just an "automatic" email of the same score you just saw, and not one stating that they've verified your results.

After completing the test, you will see two buttons, one to "print" the results, and another to send you the email. I clicked on the "email" button, before logging out of that page, and received an email with my results, almost instantaneously.

I guess the test to be completed is about 40 days or so. For some much sooner. I remember this because one member in this forum had her test on November 7th and it was completed on December 16th. I also have a couple of friends whose test did not turn to green. They just had their Oath invitation in about 3.5 half months. So, this is totally random. Best of luck.

I don't expect much, still hopeful. Only IRCC knows how their system work, a ghost update today gives you a month old update, you might have seen that posts on this forum where somebody was telling he attempted citizenship test on 5th Nov, and only after 16 Dec Ghost Update, his test status changed to Completed but backdated November 10th or something. So who knows whats cooking in the background in their systems. Let's hope for the best. We seems stressful bcoz some people in similar timeline of ours have their oaths done or scheduled, otherwise we are still within reasonable processing time.
