Congratulations!
Just for tracking on the sheet - do you know when your status changed to In Progress in ECAS?

Hi @disp.31089,

No, I only checked the status when I got an email from IRCC about invitation for Test and that's when I checked in the online tracker provided by IRCC about what is the status.

our application progress are more or less similar with dates a couple of days here and there.

Hello all,

I recently submitted a change of address webform using the online tool. However, I haven’t seen any change in my address on my application. If it helps, I moved from one address to another within the same city and province.
Anyone else have any experience submitting the change of address form, when your application is in process? Let me know if you know what to expect.

I'm in the same boat. Sent in 2 webforms and now 1 feedback form to complain. Nothing

Two April online applicants on the tracker have already received their test invites. I'm hoping many of us would have ours before Christmas (wild assumption - no basis but the speed of online application execution across different months).
Hopefully they get to us before Christmas and give us some good news ahead of the holidays.

Hi guys, I recently renewed my passport while my application is in process. Do I need to inform CIC/IRCC about this? And can anyone guide what is the process?

I filtered the file's March tab to online applicants only
26 people from different parts of the country have received test invites mid to late Oct. Of these people AORs were received 2nd - 3rd week of Aug.
If we look for a trend from date of application, May online applicants may be in for a 6-8 week wait before hearing on next steps. However, if we use the AOR date as a benchmark that could be sooner. Either way, Xmas / Jan seems plausible.
All that being said, this process has been as predictable as Canadian weather and these data points could mean nothing as well

Under my tracker, it's say In progress on language, background check, physical presence usually do they update from In progress to completed all at once or as and when they finished?

Hi All,

I have this situation and request you guys to kindly clarify please. My application was received on 26th May 2021, with AOR on 3rd September 2021. I got a ghost update on 12th October 2021 on the new tracker. On 13th October 2021 my ecas citizenship application status turned to "In Process". On clicking to read the detailed status, I can see the following:
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 26, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 3, 2021.
I have not received the next line item which says that " We started processing your application on DD/MM/YYYY". Is this usual or what should I interpret out of it? Has my application gone to In Process?

Further for my dependent children who I have attached along with my citizenship application their status is still at "Application Received" and has not moved to "In Process"
Hi Can you pls tell me where you received this message
  • citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 26, 2021.
  • We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 3, 2021.
Is it on status tracker or some other site.
Pls share the site.

Hi, it is on ECAS. When you login you should see the In Process a hyperlink. When you click on the In Process it will show you the information you're looking for.

Hello, my application status tracker online shows that my citizenship status is in progress. The test window is 10/22/2021 - 11/11/2021. However, I haven't received an invitation email. Is this normal or should I contact them? I am not physically in Canada at the moment. My local office is Windsor.

Thank you.
Can you please update the spreadsheet with the info below:

Type: Paper application
Location: Windsor
Physical Presence Days: 1101
Application: Single
Application sent: May 11, 2021
Delivered: May 12, 2021
AOR: July 29, 2021

Test invite email received: October 21, 2021
Test completed: October 30, 2021
Test marked as completed in the application tracker: November 3, 2021

Everything else is still marked as in progress. ECAS status is still in process.
