My question what next I am excerpted from taking citizenship exam and language proof ( due to age)

I have added the information to the spreadsheet. Could you please provide your location/city?

Thank you

You are right, the browser was auto-filling the last name incorrectly that's why. The old ECAS says they started processing the application on Sep 9th,2021. So it means I can expect to see some movement on my application soon?

Citizenship

No, unfortunately my local office is Calgary and the average time from (IP in ECAS) BG completed to Test is around 12-18 months as per the spreadsheet, I sent a note to my MP and the response he got was that my application is being processed within the normal time frame (12 months) and that I am in the queue to receive citizenship, they advised that if I haven't received the test invitation by March 2, 2022 then he can contact IRCC office again.

How do I find my citizenship application local office?

So my test is showing as "Completed" on October 4th in the new citizenship status dashboard. Old ECAS still shows as IN Progress. I know some offices like the ones in Alberta is slow due to backlogs.

1. Any idea how fast or slow Hamilton Office is?
2. I know this is a very often asked question but do you think TEST to OATH will take months?
3. I hear there is a backlog for Oath taking? Is that true?
4. How soon does DM usually happen after Test Completed?

Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thank you.

I know mine is Hamilton since the CIC email address for the test invitation belongs to Hamilton. I am based in Hamilton as well.

Hi all, still waiting for my AOR. April 27th online application. Has anyone been able to speak to am agent over the phone? Can you please share a contact number I can use to get an actual person rather than recorded messages? Thanks in advance.

The rest of the status is already there in the application tracker.

I see some online applicants have updated their old ECAS status in the spreadsheet. How were you able to check it on old ECAS? I thought it's only for paper folks? If it's not the case, what's the hack to find your application in old ECAS?
(For example, I remember linking the PR application to GCKEY used to be a huge pain but there was a very silly trick to it)
