Any update since then? I hope this doesn't mean applications will take longer!

No updates yet

IRCC opens up FSW/FST draws today onwards. That's a different line of business, but RIP to processing times (despite the Minister claiming those will bounce back to normal by EoY).

an update from my end: everything turned completed today morning except for citizenship ceremony. Decision made also appeared on the old tracker. Do you guys know how much time from DM to ceremony? i can't open the tracker to view the average myself.... hope you guys are next, hang tight

Update : After a long silence since 26 Jan 2022 since the passed test. Today Old e-cas shows the decision made. The new tracker shows completed all except Citizenship ceremony --> Not started.

How many days do it take to schedule an oath ceremony?

i posted the same question, no one really knows it seems as the timeframe seems to be volatile.

Someone told...it can be within one day or two ...or may be 1 to 2 weeks.

How do you access the old e-cas? I applied when the new status tracker was already live, does that mean I can't use the old one?

Hmm I'm getting "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided.". What identification type should I use?

It won’t work if you are an online applicant, it’s just for paper applicants.

Very very nice: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...oof-citizenship/documents.html#e-certificates

(TL; DR: They're piloting e-certs!)

Just talked to IRCC. The agent said my file had been moved from Montreal to Vancouver. I am not taking that as gospel, but I hope I get some movement now. How are Vancouver applications doing these days?

Very interesting! From what I've seen VAN does move faster than MTL

Use your UCI as on PR card.

It won't matter if they applied online. ECAS just plain won't work for online applicants.
