July 2022 Citizenship Applications

These days many are getting the email closer to the test date. What is your test window?

You're right.
My wife did not receive an email invite for her test. She just clicked the link on tracker, took the exam and it was marked completed after 1 week.

My test date window is Feb 5- feb 25. Does that mean I will get the email on 5th Feb?

So she didn't book any date right? She just took it when she was ready?

Even without the email you can give the test. Don't wait for it. Give it when you ready.

Thank-you so much! I will do that!

For me and my wife, I am seeing status as 'Decision Made' since Jan 27 on ECAS but no update on online tracker or any mail for oath. Is this normal? I think I saw someone said after it shows as decision made on ECAS, online tracker updates to complete within 2 days?

My wife applied online on July 12 and got the AOR in no time. Her background completed on Dec 16 and no update after that. What is the timeline now.

Has anyone seen much activity for July online applications?
My test was marked as completed on Jan 6th, and no updates since then.
I was under the assumption that the language, physical presence, and prohibitions will get updated relatively soon after the test.
Are you experiencing the same?

Not a whole lot right now. My test marked completed on Jan 11th. Nothing since.
Some folks from May/April AOR have gotten their Oaths scheduled but it looks like for now, paper applications appear to be moving quicker.
The overall current wait times to 'completed' LPP can be anywhere from 1.5 to 3 months after test completed. I think we can consider ourselves lucky if we can get the entire process completed within 12 months. Just got to be patient and hope everything goes smoothly *fingers crossed*

Yes, I feel the same way!
I thought after the test being marked S complete, the rest is just matter of formality
Looks like I was wrong, or maybe they have so many applications and takes them more time to finish.

I know right, the process is a little different now. I believe pre pandemic once test was completed in person, they did an interview and scheduled you for the oath right away. This time I got a request to submit all pages of my passport scanned and valid provincial ID after the test was marked completed. Anyways, its all good. No complaints. Here's hoping we can all become Canadians at some point this year! Happy weekend!
