Received DM on April 9th but ECAS details not updated - NORMAL?

[samurai1]

Hi Everyone,

Even though I have received my DM on the Ecas page (Decision Made) on April 9th, after clicking on the DM link, my Ecas details is still showing the following:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 17, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 21, 2017.
3. We started processing your application on January 9, 2018.
4. We sent you a notice on January 23, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on February 21, 2018 at 8:18 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.

There is no line item '5' to show any information about an Oath invitation being sent out. Is this normal or is this just delay/glitch in the system?

Also, in terms of having the status changed to Decision Made, is this typically a good thing or could there be an issue as well?

sorry for all the questions. I'm pretty detailed and usually lack of information doesn't bold well for me. I have no problem waiting but wish the process was more informative.

Thank you

This is the way it is for everyone. The oath line/invitation will come later on...

My ecas updates have been inconsistent from the start. I think many people have had the same experience. I never got a line in ecas added for the test invite at all, even after passing the test, but I have received an added line for my oath invite. It's so varied for each person.

thank you for everyone's replies.

So typically if you receive the DM, it's almost always good news?

I got the oath letter only by email on April 12th and I took the exam on Feb 21 so just shy of two months. My status changed to DM on the same day that I received the email for the oath invitation.

I received ceremoney invitation by mail in the CNE Toronto for August 21 that’s next week . My test was Scarborough on February.
My issue is that Ecas still shows DM
How come it did not change to number 5 (we sent you the oath ... blah blah)

Same for me. I don't even have that line on my ecas. My last line is complete after the line regarding test. No lines for oath. This is very normal when they send email oath invitation. Now I am citizen. I even called CIC and agent was super pissed, he asked why you need ecas line? oath email is enough.
