Rest everything is in progress.

Wife gave test on Jan 12, and her tracker still does not show test completed.

Hi everyone - My wife and I submitted application on Aug 30 and got AOR on Oct 31. Since then language, physical, prohibition and background is showing "in progress". Is anyone in the same boat? Anything we can do to speed up the process?

Just received my oath letter a few minutes ago. The ceremony will be online. There is some information missing from my row on the Google sheet tracker. Could someone please have the missing information added there? The rest of the info is in my signature and already added to the Google sheet.

Application type: Single
PhP Days: 1098
IP: 3 October 2025
DM Date ECAS: 5 January 2026 (I am assuming this is the date when one gets the update on the IRCC tracker that one's Citizenship oath status has been updated to In progress; am I right?)
Oath letter date: 14 January, 2026
Oath ceremony: 23 January 2026 (Virtual ceremony)

Congratulation I applied on the same date and we also share the same test date completion. I'm still waiting for LPP to be completed, hoping to see it completed by the end of next week.

Just noticed that on the 14th of Jan, the Language, Prohibition, and Physical Presence stages were updated to "Completed".
I'm on the final stretch before the citizenship oath

Background verification completed on Jan 8 ( tracker updated on Jan 10 )
Test completed on 11 Jan.
Tracker shows test completion on 12 Jan.( tracker updated: 15 Jan )

Rest everything is in progress.

Wife gave test on Jan 12, and her tracker still does not show test completed.

I had my test on Jan 3 and tracker still not showing completed yet , that’s almost 2 weeks now. Some people get test completed just after 3-4days after the test. The process is Very unbalanced and frustrating .

I got an update, but Prohibitions is in progress. It feels like I'm stuck now.

You will be fine, give it a week or two max.

I just had an update after 2 weeks for test completion from Team 2, you should get an update soon.

I agree the process is unbalanced and unfair, especially they do not follow first-in first-out order, this is how things work at IRCC and in Canada, all we can do is hope and wait.

Noticed that as well today. Intrigued to see when the oath date will be sent
