[Anonyref]

AOR received Jan 30th 2023

i cant register yet using the uci and application #, is there a delay with that typically?

give it 24 to 48 hours. I was able to access the tracker exactly 2 days after receiving AOR.

You can raise a webform for Technical Issue in that case.

For Paper application its all pages but for online application it's only biographical pages that's needed.

Thank you for your reply.

Submit an webform under technical issues... If you don't complain, they won't pay attention. Clearly state the issue and attach screenshot.

If they come back with a generic response, don't be afraid to send webform again! They really need to get a handle on this

Today, I submitted an ATIP request to get some statistics and clarify a few things about Citizenship tracker issues... let's see when they will get back

To all the folks who arrived into Canada on Jan 2020. How did you answer your taxes question? Please help.
For mine: I set up the below for my application.
Year-Required_to_File/Taxes_Filed
2022-Y/N
2021-Y/Y
2020-Y/Y- Entered Canada on PR in JAN
2019-N/N
2018-N/N

I spent a significant amount of time on the forum and there were no concrete answers. I did open the google sheets(for Jan and Feb Applicants in the past years) and found a lot of people with the physical presence of days around: 1095+-10days- Which means most of them have not filed the 3 years of taxes.

I also followed the below link but the examples given are very straightforward and doesn't include tricky cases like mine.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...enship/grant/residence/income-tax-filing.html

But there is one line that talks about it: "applicants who submit their application early in the calendar year would not have been required to file taxes yet for the previous calendar year. "

I am not sure if I can apply now or wait until I file my taxes and apply. Please advice

Great link to refer to, thank you for sharing. It says 3 years of tax filing and also the line you quoted on submitting early. If you are not in a hurry then maybe wait for few more days - file tax as soon as it opens for this year and then go for citizenship submission?
