Hi All,

I had my citizenship ceremony on Monday Dec 4 (Mississauga Office) and I sent in my signed oath form about 30mins after the ceremony ended but I still have not received my certificate. My friend who was in the same ceremony as me already received his e-certificate on Wednesday. Should I be worried? Does anyone know if it is possible to check on the status of the certificate? I am trying to apply for an urgent passport and I need the certificate to do that so I am panicking a bit

i got my test invite from DNSCR id and i am from GTA so can i assume my file is with SCR office?

I applied via paper, and still as of this evening, on the tracker the last date noted in the upper right corner is Nov. 2nd. This w as when the the test being marked completed on Oct. 31st was reflected. LPP still says IP and oath not started. However, when I checked ECAS just now, on the main page that shows a status summary, it says decision made. However, when I click into that it still just says we started processing your application on October (I don't remember the exact date). I also checked my email and there was nothing there from IRCC. I am worried this is just a tech glitch playing with my emotions. Has anyone seen or heard of this happening before? Is this a sign I may get news shortly? @forw.jane, apologies for tagging you once again but you are one I know is quite active on this forum. Any insights or know of another person I should reach out to for insight? Thank you!!!

Your tracker should be updated tomorrow or next week . Ecas is more accurate than tracker as it gets updated daily however tracker gets updated in 2-4 days after officer works on your application or make final decision. Congratulations you are at end of process.

@forw.jane I believe I checked it yesterday or the day before that and it still said IN PROGRESS on the main screen. So, I think today is the first day it is sayijng DECISION MADE. But again, when I click on that the further information page still just says we started processing your application Oct. something. So, it does not reflect deision made there. Is this common? Is it a tech fluke? Could I be getting more news soon, perhaps?
