Any idea on Niagara Falls Processing center??

Many online applicants got ghost updates within past couple of days, let's see how many of them get test invites.
No further changes for me.

How can I find out my processing center? Have been trying to call IRCC but cannot get through to an agent. Any tips?

It's based on your address city you mentioned in your application or changed it later online.

Hello everyone, I'm new at this forum. I applied online back in end of August 2021. In the beginning of march 2022, I got an email to resend a different document for language evidence and I did that right away. I never received any confirmation that they got my new document or any other movement at all. This is all getting very frustrating for me. 2022 summer travel plans are looking like a write off once again. Renewing old passport and getting bunch of visas seems like another hassle. Any thought or words of encouragement ? Thanks

Don't delay any of your plans thinking IRCC will deliver on time. The IRCC train will take its own time. So, get your visas and prepare for the summer. Enjoy life!

The AOR agents are working too quickly, now sending AORs within 5 weeks, just adding to the backlog of processing agents.

My account was updated yesterday, "We sent you a letter or email for your application. Check the letter or email we sent for more details. ".

Nothing else changed. I've not received any email(nothing in spam either) or any letter.

What to expect next, if anyone has had similar experience?

I received the above update on March 21st.

No letter or email yet. Getting a bit nervous.

Any suggestions guys? should I wait for a response or contact IRCC?

On citizenship status tracker.

I'm an online applicant. Don't have ECAS access.

On citizenship status tracker.

Usually email should have come after a day or two when you saw the tracker updated.
since you are online applicant and you may have submitted only the bio pages of the passport they maybe requesting you the complete scanned copy of your passport(s) which were eligible during the eligibility period
