Hi! Something weird just happened. I was trying to see on the old tracking system (ECAS) what's the status of my PR card renewal application, but for some reason it shows info about my citizenship app. It says Decision Made!!! Don't mind if I do :D But is that even possible, less than 2 weeks after passing the test? I also checked the new dashboard, but it looks like it hasn't been updated yet (all stages marked as Completed, except for Citizenship Ceremony).

@rajkamalmohanram you're the expert voice here, any thoughts?
Congratulations!!! One other September 2020 applicant who took the test in late April got Decision Made on ECAS! Do you see a "Decision Made" date on ECAS?

I don't want to jinx it but looks to me like things are speeding up!

And as always, updated the spreadsheet.

Thank you, Raj! There is absolutely no date on ECAS. All I can see is Citizenship Application Status: Decision Made. This space was last updated on Feb. 23 when my app status was changed to In Process, then IRCC switched to the new dashboard. It's all a bit baffling, to be honest. Not that I'm not glad to see things are moving! :D

Hi everyone. I hope you guys are doing well and having a good summer so far. I wanted to share with you some information about the processing times of citizenship applications. I've heard that IRCC is finalizing May 2019 applications. I don't know if this information is accurate. Have you heard about that as well? Can you guys share with me (and others) what you have heard about processing times, particularly (according to your analysis) when approximately September 2020 applications are expected to be finalized? I appreciate every single comment. Thanks in advance.

When I enter my info it says « not found » !! Should I be worried ?
Did you enter your birth date/country correct(i forgot what all it asked). Verify again your information and retry. it should work for most - rarely cic might have entered date of birth or other info wrong.

My decision made status was updated yesterday. But nothing updated on the tracker yet, all still in progress except test and back ground check.
