Just got my family's certificates from a March 4th oath. Hope everyone else is done soon too!

Case closed on the new tracker as of today.

The main way people have been checking is to see the location code inside the email name of the email sent for the test invite. For example mine had MTL for Montréal.

It did in the old ECAS tracker but not in the new one.

I had my Oath ceremony and never had an interview.

Not yet, but there was a problem with the signature on one of our oath forms and we needed to resubmit it with a new signature on Monday, so I think that might delay things by a few days.

In the new tracker, if everything except for Citizenship Ceremony is complete, then you have received DM.

I also finished the oath on March 4th and wish everyone good news. Just to let people know it tooke about 2 hours from when the ceremony started until everything was finished, although about half of that was getting everyone checked in.

The oath ceremony documents say that they require 2 pieces of ID with your name and birth date. I don't have a driver's license and my foreign passport has expired. Do people think that the PR card and health card are enough? I'm not sure what else to use for id...

And it was very quick, but the oath emails arrived today (Feb 21).

Tracker just updated. My family has been scheduled for an oath ceremony on March 4th. I'll post again when we receive the official oath email. So excited!

My impression is that it is extremely common for that to happen. I think most of that is just verifying that the proofs that you submitted with your application are valid.

I think that if the background check is complete, you are probably not going to get a fingerprinting request. If background is incomplete and you've passed the test, I think that it is likely that you'll get a fingerprinting request at some point.

AFAICT, it depends entirely on the whims of the person working your case. Usually, fingerprinting and background check happen before the test, but I got the fingerprinting request at the same time as my test invite and others have that too.

ECAS hasn't really been updating for me (except to DM when that happened). I've been following progress using the new tracker: https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login
