you can check on ECAS online. You can use your particulars such as UCI, DOB and country of birth.

Hi Everyone,
so I called CIC this morning. They confirmed my file was sent to Mississauga Office... they said not to worry and that the file is in good order and under 12 months of processing !!! So Why didn't they send me a test invite.. I just don't get it. IP since Nov 1st , AOR Oct 4th, received Sep 4. Why does this office send test invites to people who applied in November and October and ignore the older files ???

finally.. congrats.. and good luck for the test.

yes finally!

It is so odd. I dont really understand their process. I was thinking it depended on the nationality, but then our friend got his citizenship in 3.5 months! he also lives in ottawa, from the same background of my husband, has traveled more than us. he applied in november and had this oat ceremony early march. on the other hand, we waited in progress for more than the entire time it took him to become citizens. and i know there are others who have been waiting even longer

Is it normal that I didn’t receive the actual letter since one week of my e case update for oath invitation ? I am getting worried

Yeah The reason why we got next day oath ceremony because they are only coming to our city twice a year and there is no permeant office. They sent us a oath invite with our test invite and mentioned if you pass the test and meet all other requirement then we'll see you for oath ceremony.

Well... This is weird... My husband and i applied together and we both took the test the same day... And his status at the ecas changed to DM and mine it's still IP... Same case??? Anyone???

That's quite common. Your background check must still be in progress. It;s run independently for all applicants.

I am checking it almost daily It says Inprocess since october no progress

Sorry, but are you sure? I ask this because my ecas still shows “IP” and we already had the interview. My file doesn’t show anything about interview and my partner (principal applicant) shows DM.

If it’s the way your are saying, mine would have to have the line “invited for test / interview” although I got the invitation (and it doesn’t show on ecas).

So... I am guessing (just a guess) that they don’t always update the ecas of all family members, only the main applicant...

But such thing exist for citizenship app? Main applicant? I thought that just existed for the PR process
