March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

What is your ECAS status ?

Hey!

I just checked and it looks like ECAS is still accessible. I see the status as "Decision Made", it is reflecting this status for all my family members (2 Adults and 1 Child)

 

[kadir.ayubi]

It started working again. No issues with ECAS currently.

Thanks for the heads-up! I just checked and it is showing the status as "Decision Made"

IRCC is replying something like this - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/november-2022-citizenship-applications.780754/post-10578605

I see - thanks for the info! I will let you know what they say. In that case there the Oath was before the person was set to leave. My scheduled oath is while I am away for only 2 weeks. It is not more than two weeks so no need to inform them of travel. If it was just before then I could do the rush passport application, assuming I got the certificate in a timely manner, but I physically won't be here to take the oath.

Rescheduling is not been accepted these days. Please share you experience how the rescheduling request goes.

I was initially supposed to take the Oath on July 31st, but I had to reschedule as I was out of the country at that time. My new appointment is on August 24th. I rescheduled through webmail. I haven't received an invitation letter yet, just saw the date update on my tracker today.

Ohh! I didn't know that it is Oath after Decision Made, thanks for this heads-up too.

Thank you so much for the wishes! And, I wish and pray that you get Decision Made soon! Keep us posted!

So the longest wait from Test to DM for Month of March is at 67 days as per the chart.
I'm about to break the record tomorrow, still no LPP

Is anyone else in a similar situation....done the test and yet to hear from them on LPP for over 67 days?

From my research, it seems if you moved provinces during the eligibility period, then your file will get delayed at this point.

You're ignoring the ones who haven't got a DM yet. The longest wait for March is 97 days and counting.

It could be worse. For example, the longest wait among October 2022 applicants is 195 days and counting. January 2022 is 15 months and counting.

No one knows how IRCC manages applications. It depends on the details of your application, the processing office, and the officer checking your application.

Unfortunately, all you can do is wait and maybe inquire via call/webform on your status while you're within the standard processing time, which is currently 18 months.

That said, I hope you get your update soon. Good luck!

I had my Test taken on May 19th, nothing after that. For the majority of applicants it takes around 4 months also IRCC does things it's own way, there is no hard and fast rule. As RedWhiteRed mentioned, there are plenty of applicant's which are now waitng for close to or over a year since Test taken, lets just hope we don't join that list.

Oh gosh, It seems you've been waiting longer than 67 days since taking the test as per your stats.
Have you moved provinces since you become PR?

Anyone else applied in March 2023 and been waiting longer than 67 days since taking the Test, without getting any updates on LPP?

Nope, have been staying in the same province and almost at the same address. Have my BG already completed as well. Hoenstly it's not really surprisisng, my VO is Scarborough and they take their time. Keep in mind that processing time is still 19 months. I have a timeline for 4 months after the test before I start looking into ordering any notes or sending forms. Hopefully, it will be done before that.
