I got all the stages except the ceremony date update, but for my 14 year old son there is no single update after the portal creation.
Not sure how the system works.
Is there a chance to get the citizenship ceremony separately?
Or do we need to wait until all the applications are processed?

Its a ghost update, means something changed internally on the file, hopefully can expect something good, next steps, soon
Question - Do you get email from tracker for every update? I completed my Test on 21st, spouse on 22nd. Not updated on tracker yet. It would be good to see email notification for such update rather than keep logging in everyday.
I got 4-5 ghost updates in past without any actual updates.

Location: Montreal

2 questions:
Thank you
- How long does it usually take from LPPs completed to Oath changing to In progress on Tracker?
- How do I know the Decision Made ECAS date? I see it in many trackers but I do not understand how to check it?
Update on my application ...
I called IRCC today, the agent told me my file is now in Vancouver after LPPs completion, meanwhile I reside in Montreal. He doesn't know anything about ceremony or dates, doesn't know if a decision was made or if I was in a queue for oath, all he said was ur still under process.
I am very confused on why my file is in Vancouver now, it was in Sydney when I got my AOR. 3 weeks and still Citizenship ceremony remains: not started.
is this office jump normal? and can agents see past LPPs? like to what degree can they see details of an application?
You do not. The only email I got was for test and test complete. Nothing for BG. I am assuming there will be nothing for LPP and then an email for Oath.
i think everyones file is in Sydney for AOR. There are also people waiting in April thread with LPP complete, these must be batched in some way
Thanks for the reply! I hope I don't have to wait months before I get the Oath invitation! Agent on the phone seemed more confused that I am lol
| Application submitted | April 25 |
| Application returned | May 28; Reason - couldn't verify the days present as visitor |

| AOR | June 26; called IRCC to fix the name on AOR, they missed the last name. |
| Tracker invite | July 3 |
| Fingerprint Request | July 11; (My guess - Got this probably because there's a difference in her name after she entered Canada. She didn't have a last name in the documents when she entered Canada and we added it later and updated her PR and all documents as well few years ago, so I read somewhere that this usually triggers a FP request in Citizenship application) |

This is my wife's application. Couple of questions - 1) Do you think BG will take a lot more time than usual? I know that the official timeline for application is 11 months. But I read somewhere that it can take 18-24 months especially because of the Security screening part.
2) Based on the test email above, which office is this coming from?
