they asked me where I was - I replied with city and province. There were only IRCC and a judge. They told me that the certificate will be delivered by regular mail (Canada post) within 2-4 weeks.

Congrats! Do you remember if this was completed in a different location other than where are you located?

I wonder if you have checked the new ECAS status if it changes to complete or still in process.

are you 2019 applicant ? if yes then its normal because validity of clearance is only for an year and since its 2021 they will do the security clearance or say background again. could take 1 , 2 3, 6 months to an year depending how quick is RCMP , CSIS and CBSA

I see people (on the Facebook group) posting a quite detailed report on the status of their applications (some even knew beforehand that they would be invited for the test). However, all I have access to is the "in progress".

It appears these are two different systems. Do we have access to that too or it is just for online applicants?

It could be a snap of their GCMS notes unless they have access to " Back to the future" technology.

Nope.

Its this new dashboard.

 

[luvtrump]

Nope.

Its this new dashboard.

He mentioned "a quite detailed report on the status of their applications (some even knew beforehand that they would be invited for the test). ". On the new dashboard it just shows in progess or not , there is no way to find out that you will be invited for the test .

Actually, there is.

The dashboard will show when the test window is even before you are invited for the test. This has been reported quite a few times here on the forum. The status update will read "Citizenship activity updated to 'Scheduled' " and then give you the test window before you get the test invitation.

The same goes for oath. People know their oath dates beforehand because it is updated in the dashboard first. The oath invitation will come later.

okay , apart from that does it show any other detailed stuff?

The OP was comparing the status updates in ECAS to the updates in the new dashboard, I guess. The status in the new dashboard is much more detailed COMPARED TO the status shown in ECAS and I think that is what the OP was talking about.

The new dashboard shows the statuses of Language, Physical Presence, Prohibitions, Background Checks which are NOT available in ECAS. You can call this "detailed stuff".

No, everyone was in the same city. The new ECAS was updated a day later to say the application is closed, reason: we have approved your application to be a Canadian Citizen.
