November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[Devesh610]

In a bit of a bind,

I got the update on the portal yesterday and received the email for the test today as well. But I don't see any update on my wife's account, neither did she receive any email yet.
I am guessing she has to receive an email for herself which would have a link specific for her and we can't use the same link for her to give the test.

Is this normal or should I contact them somehow, appreciate any guidance.

Just to share an update.

When I received my test notification but my wife didn't, I responded to the email (Feb 15) from which I received the invite.
I see they triggered the test invite the day after (Feb 16) for my wife and she received hers on Feb 18 (TW - Feb 24 - Mar 16).

Gave my test today, Feb 20 (19/20)

I did not receive any email notification, but when I logged in to the tracker it says 1 new update but I couldn't see anything other than the new update star tagged besides my 'Application Filed" i.e. AOR date. Has anyone noticed the same? Is this the Ghost Update?

I am checking my spam, deleted emails everyday but nothing so far. Will call CIC on Tuesday.

Hi All, I got my AOR today. What are the next steps now ?

Hi All,

I’m seeing many people are sharing that when they log on, they get to see updates but I’ve been trying 2 links (one of which is directly from cic.gc.ca https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en?u...210510&utm_content=check-application-progress but this link doesn’t seem to work)

And when I try the other link (https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/dataaccessexception.do) and I input my info it shows this “We were not able to identify you using the information you provided”

then I tried to access it thru this link “https://citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/sign-in” which is the one i I used for submitting application, it didn’t show anything at all not even an AOR even with a test complete.(my hubby got his test which is completed and I’m still awaiting my test invite)

kindly advise what links you are using to get an update. thank you so much!!!!

Hi I submitted our application on Nov 28, delivered Nov 30. Just got AOR email for my husband today. My AOR is still pending.

Hello, Does the AOR email has the application number? The acknowledgement email I received did not have the number, I had to call them instead.

Hello, There is one pdf doc on IRCC website. Is that sufficient to prepare for the test? Thanks

Yes, the questions are from the pdf only.

Here's a thread which mentions resources (practice tests)

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...-for-the-citizenship-test.734507/post-9455604

I did a few of these, before my attempt.

Again, questions are all from the pdf, every section counts, my advice - read it atleast twice / thrice.

Hi all, I'm starting to get a little concerned that we've been waiting over three months for our AOR. I sent an enquiry to IRCC on Jan 30 2023 but have had no response to that either. Very worrying.

Calling IRCC is the quicker... You might want to try that
