Well, unless you provide the date when you passed the test and the date when it was updated to "Completed", I can't update the spreadsheet.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,
What happens next? How long it’s going to take to go to the next step after passing the citizenship test. I passed the test on July 2 still nothing.
I respect your opinion.
thankyou

Given the current delays, expect 3 - 5 months for oath from the date your test results are validated. Somewhere in-between, your ECAS will show "Decision Made" and the the statuses Language, Physical Presence and Prohibitions will be set to "Completed" in the new status dashboard.

That's Decision Made. Congrats.

You can change your address here => https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=coa&lang=en

If the new apartment you moved to falls under the same jurisdiction of the office that is currently processing your application, then there won't be file transfer and there won't be any delays.
Thanks!! I changed the address. So, even though it says "In Progress", you think the decision has been made? Should I request ECAS or just wait. Thanks again for your prompt response and helpful information. Is there a link to request ECAS?

There's no such thing as "requesting ECAS". ECAS = Electronic Client Application Status and it is a tool to check status online.

Here's the link =>

I think you confused ECAS with GCMS notes.

I had written to my MP earlier this month and this was the response from IRCC, as expected:

We have verified the information you provided on behalf of your constituent.

Since your last inquiry there is no new information available.

Rest assured that the responsible office will contact your constituent directly if anything is required or when a decision has been rendered.

We hope this information is helpful. "

Response from MP’s office:
Please wait until you hear from them. The next enquiry can be done in November, if you don't hear from them by then.

Scarborough office is usually very fast. I have a feeling that IRCC is going slow on Provincial nominees. May be IRCC has to reach out to nominating province for green signal before processing citizenship application.

On a 2nd thought, citizenship is a Federal thing so province shouldn't have any significant role as such.

I believe that provincial theory was debunked sometime ago. Plus I landed in Ontario and have lived and worked here ever since.

Scarborough office AFAIK and from the experience of people I know personally has been quite slow in processing applications even pre-pandemic owing to the large # of applications and immigrants residing in this suburb. From what I am seeing here not has changed if not things have gotten worse under the covid excuse.
