May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[gabyul]

Hello everyone, I am new on this forum here is my timeline so far:

Office: Sydney
Location: Montreal

• May 1, 2025: Application sent
• May 29, 2025: AOR
• July 4, 2025: Test done
• July 11, 2025: Test changed to Completed on Tracker
• August 28, 2025: Background changed to Completed on Tracker
• September 3, 2025: Physical Presence changed to Completed on Tracker
• September 3, 2025: Prohibition changed to Completed on Tracker
• September 3, 2025: Language changed to Completed on Tracker

Oath Ceremony: Not Started
2 questions:

1. How long does it usually take from LPPs completed to Oath changing to In progress on Tracker?
2. How do I know the Decision Made ECAS date? I see it in many trackers but I do not understand how to check it?

Thank you

Update!

Almost an identical timeline to you - did they send you an email for the citizenship test update or did it just change to complete?

It was updated to complete, I did not receive an email.

Got Ghost update on Oct 4, seems like they started it.

Hopefully!

My tracker showed an update on Sept 27th but didn't get anything via email and nothing actually changed in the tracker. I'm assuming that is a Ghost Update. Just have no idea if there is an correlation between that happening and something in the tracker actually changing. There doesn't seem to be any info on the time to get a real update after a ghost update unfortunately, I assume it is just to random to be meaningful.

Yes you got ghost update, this is kind of good news, agent did something in our file.

In my case LLP not started yet officially but showing in-progress in tracker, I guess they started it now.
