September 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[2017CanadaHo!]

Same receipt should have been put in both applications as it is part of the checklist.

I did the same, to complete each set.

Thanks for your response.
For #1, can you advise which section we should be uploading the full passport pages? The fact that they have limited the file size to just 4MB even in the additional documents section (which kind of restricts uploading color pages of passport unless it's extremely low resolution) and there are multiple passports make me concerned. Even in additional documents section in the online application they have clearly stated what documents to be uploaded and it does not include full passport copy. Have you used this online application recently, as it seems to change frequently.

For#2, I will proceed as you recommended

I applied paper. But was faced with this situation while uploading documents in my pr application. Used compression to reduce size and took a sample Page print to see if it is legible. If you must use the optional additional documents section, you can upload the current passport in the main section and include a note as the last page of that file, asking the officer to refer to the additional documents section for other passport(s). No other way (at least known to me) cos you must must upload all pages of all passports used in the 5 year period.

Hi everyone, I'm excited that I finally applied. I have a few questions and wondering if anyone can help me.

I just got my AOR or at least I think I did. The email said: "This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required." It also was in PDF format and had an application number at the top. I feel that 2 days after applying is very quick. But maybe they are speeding up.

1) Has anyone had trouble registering an account here: https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register?
(It keeps giving me an error saying: "Incorrect UCI or application number. Please try again." My UCI is correct as it's the one that matches my PR and I am inputting the application number on the Pdf as well. Not sure why it's not working.)

2) How do I join the spreadsheet tracker?

Thanks, everyone and wish you speed in your application!

1st Question - Has anyone had trouble registering an account here: https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register?
(It keeps giving me an error saying: "Incorrect UCI or application number. Please try again." My UCI is correct as it's the one that matches my PR and I am inputting the application number on the Pdf as well. Not sure why it's not working.)

2nd Question - How do I join the spreadsheet tracker?

Thanks, everyone and wish you speed in your application!

1)Wait for up to 24 hours for it to work. For some it takes up to 48 hours
2) One of the mods would update the spreadsheet for you.

All the best!!

AOR has been so delayed I'm thinking the application might be on its way back. Maybe they didn't like/accept my language proof. It was a secondary GCE Advanced level certificate. Might go and give the CELPIP preemptively so I can just send the app back again when I get it. Sigh.

same here, my application probably will be returned, but do they use canada post or purolator or something else? cuz my home don't allow anyone to enter except canada post.

In my AOR it said: Case Processing Centre - Sydney NS rather than Mississauga. Mississauga from my knowledge is mostly PRs.

With the current trends, around 7 days after your application receipt, you get the AOR email. Within 12 to 48 hours from then, you can go to the online citizenship application tracker to create your account and start checking statuses. One account reach for each UCI.

where can I see password

You will receive an email from IRCC which is acknowledge receipt(AOR) of your application. After that you can check the status of your application.
New tracker - https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/dashboard
ECAS - https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do

Please note, ECAS only works for paper application.

Thank you very much

am seeing some other applications delivered around 08Sep, which are still awaiting an AOR. not sure if those applicants are already aware of some weak-point in their documentation, or if there's some random order in which CIC folks picked up application envelopes to process! that said, even if anyone's application is being returned, it is unfair to keep the person hanging for 2 - 3 weeks, not knowing whether he'd get an AOR or application returned. CIC should at least send an email about the rejection being initiated.
