How long apart are the changes of status for this sequence: COMPLETED—>IP—>COMPLETED ?
Hey. My background check status was changed from completed to in progress on June 20 and the next day, it was updated back to completed. Prohibitions, language and physical presence were all updated to completed also on June 21. Everything is completed since June 21 except oath which is not started. The old ECAS system still shows in process though; probably because my wife still has prohibitions, language and physical presence still in progress.

ECAS should be updated in a day or two to "Decision Made".

Congrats!

Lol. Thanks. ECAS hasn’t been updated to DM in a month now. Maybe CIC is waiting for my wife’s physical presence, language skills and prohibitions to be completed.

something similar happened to me, everything was completed except Citizenship Ceremony and on Monday, Aug 2nd, citizenship Test changed from "Completed" to "In-progress", and then on August 4th the update date changed from Aug 2nd to Aug 4th, but no changes in Test (In-progress). I really hope they dont ask me to write the Test again. This seems like a dead end, never gonna finish, been waiting since September 2019.

This is probably because of a bug. Many applicants have reported this in the past couple of days and there was at least one applicant who called IRCC and verified that this was indeed a bug (Unable to find that post at this time).

Hi guys, I’m new here and I’m also waiting for the invitation to take the oath. I just checked the status of my application and it says “in progress”, everything says completed (since August 17th) wondering how much longer until I get to take the oath? Thanks

let me add my wife's name to the list. BG was set to completed on October 21, today we check and it was set back to in progress as of October 26.
This is crazy in my opinion, we need our applications to start moving forward :(

She received a request for fingerprints, so I am assuming you should receive one soon. That was her case, but other applicants mentioned it was changed back to completed with no further request. Good luck.

I am not required to provide fingerprints. If i was then i would have asked back in March before it got changed to Completed. I guess I should wait till i get my GCMS note on Dec 1st to see what is going on.

I did read that BG is expired in one year no matter you were asked for FP or not. If you were asked for FP before a year, then you will be asked again for a new FP. I did my 2nd FP three weeks ago.

Hi all, new to here. My application status update date was change to recent date but no changes in any of the actual status. Still BC and exam completed, all others are in progress. Any idea what's going on?
