Yeah, this happens to some applicants. Prohibitions will be set to "Completed" when a decision is made on the application.

Good luck!

  2. Physical Presence - In Progress
  3. Citizenship Test - Not Started
  4. Background Verification - Completed
  5. Prohibitions - In Progress
  6. Citizenship Ceremony - Not Started
This is my timeline so far:
  1. Background verification status has been updated to Completed - Jun 20, 2021
  2. We received your fingerprint information will review them shortly. Thank you! - Mar 7, 2021

Just now in june only background check got completed. Usually it takes 3-4-5 months before you get the test invite in most cases. So possibly this month or next month you would get the test invite.

my background check was completed on Feb 16 and I’m still waiting for test invite. It’s been almost 6 month and I haven’t heard a word from IRCC. I sent a webform and their response was “delays due to COVID-19“. I can understand that, but I can’t understand how people that applied in 2021 are already getting tests and oath ceremonies.


This is my timeline so far:
  1. Background verification status has been updated to Completed - Feb 16, 200
  2. We have received your application and have begun to process your application - Dec 16, 2020
  3. We started processing your application - Nov 5, 2020
  4. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship)- May 7, 2020

New member here. Have been silently following this thread. here is my status.

Office: Winnipeg CIC
Days: 1101
Single applicant
App sent May 04,2020
AOR Nov. 04, 2020.
In process Dec 15,2021
Test invite June 01,2021
Took test: June 10,2021
Test showed completed June 17, 2021
Checked status in ECAS shows as Decision Made

Status in the new tracker is still in progress with Prohibitions, Language and Physical presence in progress. Ceremony not started.

Does anyone know when the status will update in the new tracker? Does the status in ECAS mean that the application has been finalized?



thanks,

PS. I was not asked for fingerprint or copies of passport.

thanks,
I've added you to the spreadsheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U27V95kWlCVYWB0zye7DvqoXSkyqxgbA31eEJ_TKO6Y/edit#gid=270862106

You should see Prohibitions, Language and Physical presence set to "Completed" soon if you already see "Decision Made" on ECAS.

Could you please let me know when ECAS went to Decision Made? Thanks.

I've updated the spreadsheet.
Thanks! Any idea when oath ceremony status will change to in progress after everything else is set to complete and how many days it will take to see the oath date? I know the notification to appear for the oath is sent few days before the test but just need to know when the oath ceremony is going to be as I'm planning on traveling. Thanks
