Hi all! Checked my status and I am at "Decision Made" today. No update to ECAS though, still info about my test invite...

For all those that have received DM, do you actually get physical mail, or is correspondence sent via email as with test invite etc?

CIC don’t add any line when they make decision so now they will send you an email for the oath ceremony and that could be anywhere from 2 to 3 months depending on your location

How did you know you are now at Decision Made if it was not updated on your ECAS? Just strange to me

I think he/she meant the ecas was updated to Decision Made, but when the member clicked on it, there is no new line added, the last line was for test invitation.

@bs1992: That is normal. You will not receive any mail/email when your status updated to DM. You are now probably in queue for the oath invitation. When you get scheduled, you will get mail/email from CIC.

Yes, that's exactly what I was wondering! I'm just paranoid in case that decision is no ;) Hopefully there'll be some good news in my mailbox soon!!

Hello,
I have applied since May 22 but no AOR so far. I will send another request and I do not know what to answer the question: Have you already applied for citizenship?

Thank you for your help

Would be anywhere from 2 weeks to 3-4 months depending on your local processing office.

From what I know, the bigger cities tend to have longer waiting time.

Hi guys,
I need urgent help!
I have been invited for a citizenship test which is scheduled on Dec 14 and I just got to know today. :(
They have asked to bring "All Original documents that support your citizenship application (As listed in the document checklist in the citizenship application form)". So, my question is that do I need to take my entire citizenship application package that I had sent originally when I applied for my citizenship? That would include the Online Physical presence form, IELTS results, Passports, 2 Photographs as well as the original application form.
So, my question is that I obviously don't have the original application form and online physical presence form so how do I take those?
Please let me know as soon as spossible. I also have only 2 days to study....omg I am dying!
Thanks,
Simran
