Congratulations!
This system is completely fucked, you are getting your citizenship in under a year. I have been DM since 12 January 2022. and applied on 8 January 2021, still no word on oath.

Sure. Still waiting for the email. Everything with IRCC is a waiting game. But this is far the easiest wait of all! Good luck to everyone. Your oath will come soon!

No, you will just see the updated in your trackers. You will see DM in ECAS only.

I always go to this IRCC website (https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login) and check my application status there? Where is the tracker? And what is ECAS? Sorry for asking basic questions.

ECAS is the really old tracker that was used before the one they have in place now ( the tracker you use)
It honestly does not have much information like the current tracker BUT it will tell you if your application if DM . Here is the link , you can use your application # or UCI to log in https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en

Thank you. The website is saying "Decision Made". Does that mean that citizenship application is approved? Next step is getting email for Oath?

99.9% sure it means approved . If it was rejected I think they would have reached out with procedural fairness, and from my reading it takes a really long time and a long process when being rejected .
I got my DM On March 18th. Maybe we will end up in the same Oath ceremony soon

Any one from Kitchener VO has DM during March and received Oath invitation?
Just to see where are Kitchener VO oath line is.

Hi guys, Any one from Kitchener VO applied in Sep 2021. I applied then and gave my test in Feb first week. However still 'In progress' for most of the items. Test complete updated in Feb second week. Just wanted to see how is the progression for others. I saw those who applied in Jul 2021 and gave test in Feb 2022, a DM has been made from Kitchener VO.

I would definitely call IRCC and talk to them. Sometimes they need to be reminded too. I used to called them a lot when my application was being processed. Thank God I am all done with them now. Receiving my passport April 4th noon

Can I ask what location you went to and Did you notice if they are taking walk-ins at the location ?
and , how long did you wait for your appointment.

apologies for so many questions , I am waiting for an oath invite in Kitchenwe. We want to drive to the States in May for a quick holiday so I want to understand the waiting process for passport in Kitchener
