Economic Times: Almost 60,000 immigration applications, many from India, assigned to inactive officers in Canada.

Read news - for those who aren't seeing any progress.

Hi, any update on the same? I had everything marked as completed (except for Oath) and on the 13th of December everything was moved to "in progress" (except oath, test and background check).

I have the same thing. I had my oath on Dec 13, today language skills, prohibition, and physical presence all turned back into "in progress'' from "completed". And Oath turned to "not started" from "in progress"

By any chance your citizenship ceremony email is coming from "
IRCC.DNMBSKCITCEREMONIES-CEREMONIESCITMBSKRN.IRCC1@cic.gc.ca" ?

Same happened to me. I think it's just an IT glitch, it doesn't reflect the actual status of the application. We are already formally citizens, just waiting for the certificate in the post. Hopefully, it'll show as fully completed on the tracker, once they fix the glitch.

Hello everyone
I finally got my citizenship test invitation on November 30 after almost a year of waiting! I did the test on December 12 , how long does it usually take for the tracker to be updated?
My second question is about the online vs paper applications , my wife will apply for citizenship this month, which one is better/faster the online or paper application? If she's eligible for the online application can she still apply on paper?
Thank you everyone!

The tracker is typically updated within 2 to 3 days.

I think the general consensus is that paper is faster than online.

Hi guys. Has anybody recently received a ghost update? My wife's app got one today. Wondering how long may it take to get an actual progress in the application.

Hey I received a ghost update today too, the old completed tasks are coming up as "New Update" not sure why, hoping some stuff is happening in the background and it's a good sign...
