Sharing an update, found a ghost update as of Aug 5th but no changes on any status.
Hello everyone, got an email today requesting Passport copy of all pages although I have submitted all colored copies of all pages when first initiated the application, anyone experienced this before? Nothing requested for my wife or kids though.

FP requested: Apr 25 for Spouse, went to Local Police on Apr 26 :)
Test invitation: May 09, 2022. Test date May 12 to June. Took on May 12.
About test practice:
- http://www.thecanadiantest.com/citizenship-test/ : not up to date, seemed more difficult, not so accurate but has a lot of question to practice.
- https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship: thanks to someone in the forum, less question, also easier, seemed to be closer to the real test.
Everything was completed on August 10th, except for the Citizenship Ceremony.
Finger cross!

Thank you very much for your response, I am going to resend again today, just wondering what might have been wrong as I sent the same pages when I sent the application , I hope your application is complete now or to be soon.

Most people from Oct, Nov, and Dec groups have done their ceremony, but my file hasn't been touched. I really like to know what the officer responsible for my file is doing?!! :mad: There is no point in calling them, I know I have to be patient and wait, but the wait is driving me crazy. 10 months since I applied and nothing yet :confused: I Just wanted to share my frustration as I'm sure there are still many people in this situation.

Also, for the kind person who is tracking and editing the info in the Google Sheets,
Here are my missing data points:
  • App type: Single
  • Applied Online
  • App Delivered: Oct 24th 2021
  • Location: Toronto
  • In process ecas: Feb 2nd 2022
I am getting a bit stressed! I submitted my online application on October 6th, 2021. Got my AOR on January 4th, 2022. Since then, did not hear anything. HOWEVER, when I try to log onto ECAS, it keeps saying it can't find my application! Should I be worried??

SAME!

Are you able to log in onto ECAS and find application there? For me, it is showing it can't find it. I am October applicant, nothing since AOR on January 2nd.

It was from Sydney. The BG was updated as soon as they acknowledged of receiving the Fp. That was 3 days after the test results had been updated.
