Hi All,

I am asking this question on behalf of my husband.
He got an email Test invitation to take the Exam between Dec 17 and Jan 6 2022. The email was received on 13 Dec.
As per the instruction by IRCC, if outside of Canada and you wish to take exam write an email within 24 to 48 hours from the date of the notice and IRCC will contact with next steps.
It's been over 3 days now and no reply was received by IRCC.

Did anyone had the same situation and knows what can be done? Should he just take the test?

Please advise!
You still have time. Wait another week.

Quick question: if you scored 19/20 on the citizenship test and used the PR as identification but noticed after hitting approval to accept the ID photo that the bottom of the PR cards expiry date was not readable but the photo , name and the middle of the card showing the UCI number was very clear, just the expiry date was not to good.
What will happen next?

regards

If they don't accept it they will email you. Happened to someone I know. Usually there is an option to retake it. I took couple of times to get the best shot possible. Also from what you have described I think it will probably be not a problem.

Thanks so much. I really did not know about this website. I checked my status through the link you provided and that says Decision Made but my online tracker is still showing status in progress. Got confused…
Hi Adeel, may I know on what date did you take the test? Also, could you please confirm, from the new online tracker, the date on which the test, prohibition, physical presence and language were marked completed? Thanks

Me and my wife took test on Oct 10, 2021. Test status was updated on Oct 12, Prohibition, Physical presence and language was completed on Dec 2, 2021. BG has already been completd on Aug 20, 2021. Today, I checked status on the link https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en (1st time) which shows "Decision Made" for both myself and my wife but same link shows status of my three kids as In-progress. Not sure why. Also online tracker is showing status as "In-Progress" for all family members. Not sure why. This is little confusing.

All this is perfectly fine and makes total sense. The status on the online tracker will stay 'In Progress' till you take oath. This status will change to 'complete/approved' once they have sent you the citizenship certificate.

The status on old ECAS changes to 'Decision Made' when the Prohibitions/Physical presence/Language status changes to 'Complete' on new online tracker.

btw, what is your visa office?

Can anyone please tell me what to expect after the Decision made status? Do they send email for oath ceremony and in what time frame?

On online-service link it also says - We sent you a notice on September 8, 2021 to appear and write the citizenship test on September 13, 2021 at 12:00 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

I have no idea what it means and what should I get in mail? I haven't received anything in my mail yet.
