What is your ECAS status ?

 

[Ray0628]

Hi Folks,

I have completed my ceremony yesterday at noon, citizenship Certificate ready to download same day at night. Very smooth without any issue

ECAS Status changed from "Decision made" to "Complete" today with the final line at the bottom

"You became a Canadian citizen on August 15, 2023."

I just received the invitation email and it is in-person. So happy to have it in-person. However, I selected an e-certificate when I filled the application. I am not sure if I will be able to have the hard copy of the certificate after the ceremony.

Nice to see progress on a fellow Scarborough one - needing to get prints slowed mine down a bit, but that gives me hope that it won't be more than another month or so. And geez it'd be nice to get an in-person one, definitely my preference - where is yours being held, if you don't mind my asking?

Hopefully, you will get the good news soon!

I live in Toronto, my application has been processed in Scarborough and the in-person ceremony is scheduled in the Mississauga IRCC Office.

Oh really? How so? Hopefully there is not a problem.

I called IRCC yesterday and the agent advised I send a webform now informing that I can't make the date (which I did yesterday) and when the actual letter comes in, follow the instructions on it to inform them again. The agent didn't mention about not being able to reschedule.

***Update***

LPP marked as Completed today (August 17th, 2023) in the tracker - My whole timeline is in my Signature along with the processing offices.

What is your ECAS status ?

Hey!

I have not been able to get into ECAS since the last week, I am not sure why, one guess I have is that they have finally retired it?!

IRCC is replying something like this - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/november-2022-citizenship-applications.780754/post-10578605

It started working again. No issues with ECAS currently.
