Congrats ! Have your ECAS status changed and if yes, what date it shows for test notification originally ?

ECAS still says In Process, started Oct 4

Good afternoon,

I passed my test yesterday then I checked my ECAS today. It changed to Decision Made. Please update.


Thanks!

Updated, thanks

Hi sunnybh,
Could you please update ( change from 9th October details below ) status as below?
Test Invite : 3 October 2018

Thank you for all the support

Background for change( this might help others with ECAS status )
1) Got test invite email on 9 October
2) ECAS never got updated till yesterday with fourth line of invitte ( 30 October )
3) Even though the email was on 9th October , ECAS mention it is 3 October

conclusion there is a delay in ECAS status update , When the actual invite date and the email receive timing

Updated, thanks

you forgot about taxes and crime rate, which go up fast as well

Agree ....

So it looks like GTA has the slowest process ever. I could imagine they allocate same amount of staff for each region? without considering the fact that GTA has the majority of immigrants or PR holders?

Totally Agree....

hey guys...I need a quick advice...our family citizenship application after AOR is in Process since Aug 14. our PR cards are expiring in Feb 2019. Should we wait or renew our PR cards. How long does it take to get the PR cards renewed...do we need to get PCC for places outside the country in last 5 years.. the application is way too detailed for last 5 years...any advice and what all formalities are required to get the PR renewed.

I think given the timeline you should get your citizenship before you PR card expires. PR card renewal will also take few months, so, unless you are travelling, you may want to wait till end of Dec to see when you get your test dates. Thereafter, you can straight away jump to the passport.

For PR cards, I have never heard of a PCC requirement. They only check your days in the country, that is it.

Only 23% of the May applicants have got their test notification Do not worry, we will get it soon. The agents are swarmed and as CIC agent told me every agent has their own speed. They try to finalize an application within 6 months of start of processing. Secondly, the agents are not sitting free, they are clearing previous backlogs.
