What should I wait for next? Just the mail? Or will there be another line in the ECAS if i clicked "decision made"? a bit nervous still cause so many people have also been in DM status and ended up waiting for so long still :(

Hopinggirl, my suggestion to you is call CIC and check status. They could give you some update. I would not take more than 5 minutes. They may informally give you oath date.

They Never give you any dates on the phone, unless a letter is already sent to you and they would be informing you about the same letter.

My neighbor in Calgary passed her test early January and last week she got oath invite. She applied in October. Seems like it depends who processes the application.

Hello! Either way I did try calling out of curiosity and the person i spoke with said that there isnt any specific dates yet but I should be expecting something in the mail this month (march). He also told me to call back mid-March if i do not receive anything in the mail by then.... so really, i guess its just another section of the waiting game ??? :eek:

And you are 100% right!

Its all depends on the officer that is handling your application.

Now its almost six weeks and I am waiting for oath, I already have DM on my eCas account, but I guess the officer is sleeping on it.

Hello everyone,

My updated timeline is as follows
Long story short...my test was rescheduled for February 23rd because I missed it on January 19th due to emergency.
I passed the test 20/20. The officer briefly scanned through my passport and told me that Oath would be between 2 months and 4 months.

DM was 1 day later on February 24th on ECAS.

March 3rd I received a letter that my Oath will be on March 21st.

Please update spreadsheet.

Thank you,
