What’s going on?

Called IRCC, they said it depends upon the officer rest of the steps can be done in a single month

Were you just notified by e-mail about the decision being made? Wondering since it didn't show up in the tracker

Saw a ghost update on the tracker today, August 7. Also got an email with instructions to download my Canadian Citizenship Certificate (e-Certificate). However, LPP are still In Progress on the tracker and Citizenship Ceremony still says "Not started". Anybody else got the same email today?

I'm sorry to hear that. The waiting period can certainly test one’s patience sometimes. I hope you receive your ceremony invitation soon—wishing you all the very best.

No. Email was not sent for decision made but rather oath ceremony. But I had checked the tracker a day before the email and saw the date was updated again. So when I checked the application history side, I saw it was the oath schedule. But if I look at the 6 items, only 2 are marked complete.

Thanks for the info!
