My status of application is as below
Type: Paper application
Location: Edmonton, AB
Physical Presence Days: 1107 for all 3 of us
Application: Family(2 Adult & 1 minor)
AOR: 10 August 2022
Ecas In Process: Nov 10 (It says we are processing your application on November 10 for all applicants)
Tracker says In-progress and nothing changed for all applicants. I did not see any change in my tracker since last 10 days even ECAS turned to In-process.
Any idea when will i get update or change in back ground or test invite?

i am paper-based applicants with 2 minors, from my ECAS there's showing "in progress" but from this website "https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do" it shows "3. We started processing your application on November 3, 2022.". How come there's such difference ??

FWIW, ECAS only shows "in progress" when they start processing the application. My status in this webpage shows "Application received" which implies that have received my application but have not started working it sadly. My AoR is Sep 6th(delivered Aug 30).

ECAS status is not detailed. What does it show on the new tracker - https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en ?
Click to expand...
From https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en, i could see twice "updated" at upper right corner and current one is Updated: October 7, 2022 and
at upper left corner there's "Your citizenship application status: In progress"

In the bottom there's:
Aug 17, 2022
Application filed
We have received your application and have begun to process your application. Information about next steps and required action items will be coming soon.

Will ECAS show "In progress" when there's further update ?

ECAS usually shows In Progress when "Background Check" is complete in the new tracker

I see a lot of users on here indicating lighting-fast processing. I am not sure if this is because they are paper-based and my application is online-based.

Application Submitted: 24th July
Application Type:- Online
City:- Toronto, ON
Days in Canada: 1,200
AOR:- 28th July
Ghost update: Oct 7, 2022
BG: In progress
Prohibitions: In progress
Physical Presence: In progress
Language: In progress
Test: Not Started
Oath: Not started

I noticed my AOR letter says Sydney case processing Centre, I am not sure if that has something to do with it, but as I recall years gone by the Sydney Office was infamous for having significant delays in processing all types of applications. Also, whenever I try to call IRCC I am always prompted to call back later due to the high call volume even when I call 2 minutes after the phone line opens.

Online applications submitted in March/April 2022 are currently seeing background checks complete and test invites. You'll have to wait a little longer for them to catch up. Paper applications have seen a slightly faster processing times... You can compare data in the google sheets (link in signature). Online applications have their ID underlined in the google sheets
