April 25 is the catch-up update when they fixed the tracker because it was broken and not updating at all the previous 13 days! They did not even realize it was broken until I contacted the technical difficulties email.
Broken? My girlfriend has April 25 as the last update, does she needs to do something?

This is extremely frustrating.
Tried to call them, impossible to get them over phone.
Submitted webforms 3 times with Urgent request, no response.
Submitted ATIP / GCMS since early April, no response.
Contacted local representative, they informed, processing has not started. Nothing to do from my side.

Applied October 2021, Online applicant, AOR in January; nothing since then.

I need to process my paper faster for work / business purpose. Why online applicants are stuck and they are processing october / november / december paper applications only ?
I was able to get IRCC's hotline on the phone yesterday but they did not give me any update on my application. They said they will send me the email to contact ATIP in case the latter exceeds 30 days in sending me the info I requested. I did not receive the email about ATIP yet. The IRCC agent I spoke to also said that the application is processing and can't give me any further detail. She said I needed to wait for a few months before I could hear about the test - she cited at least 6 months (which was the answer given to someone who called them too and mentioned that in this forum). I vented about the frustration of seeing paper apps treated quickly despite it being received later than mine. She said that I should not trust what's written in public forums as it may not reflect accurate information on processing times. She emphasized the 27 months processing times and the backlog. I told her I needed to take my test in Canada prior to taking a trip where I need to be with family in the summer. She said I could take the test outside of Canada if that's the case or ask IRCC to postpone it until I get back if I am not comfortable taking it outside of Canada. She also said that I need to renew my PR in case it is expiring so I can travel without worrying about the delay. That's it.

Paper applicant : Oct 5th 2021

I just notice the change in the application status ,except for Citizenship ceremony , all the steps are completed in "Your Citizenship application status" on May 20th for me and my wife, My son's except for Prohibitions everything else is in "In Progress"
In OnLine status, Status is changed for me and my wife to Decision Made and for my son its still in "In process".
What will be the next step after Decision Made and should we expect an invitation for oath ceremony?
Any other october applicant received similar update?
Hi, congratulations on your status update. For me and my wife status is completed for all except ceremony. However, for our kid, everything is in progress since application submission (no updates since AOR). Do we need to do anything? Any suggestions? Thank you.

My wife’s status says Oath Ceremony on June 3rd, 2022 but have not recieved any email with details yet.
What should we do?
Call ircc. Keep calling them nonstop till you get one call through. They will send you email same day or the following day. Also email your local office with subject: Urgent oath on 3rd no email received.
